PCP-GAN: Property-Constrained Pore-scale image reconstruction via conditional Generative Adversarial Networks
Obtaining truly representative pore-scale images that match bulk formation properties remains a fundamental challenge in subsurface characterization, as natural spatial heterogeneity causes extracted sub-images to deviate significantly from core-measured values. This challenge is compounded by data scarcity, where physical samples are only available at sparse well locations. This study presents a multi-conditional Generative Adversarial Network (cGAN) framework that generates representative pore-scale images with precisely controlled properties. The framework was trained on thin section samples from four depths (1879.50-1943.50 m) of a carbonate formation, simultaneously conditioning on porosity and depth within a single model. It processes RGB thin section images that preserve critical mineralogical information (anhydrite-dolomite differentiation, grain boundaries, porosity distinctions) lost in conventional grayscale representations, capturing characteristics from grainstone fabrics to crystalline textures with anhydrite inclusions. The model achieved strong porosity control (R^2 = 0.95) across all formations with mean absolute errors of 0.0099-0.0197. Morphological validation confirmed preservation of average pore radius, specific surface area, and tortuosity within acceptable tolerances. Two-point correlation (S2) analysis confirmed that generated images preserve the spatial continuity and characteristic length scales of natural pore networks, with results consistent across the imaging resolutions tested (1.8-3.0 micron/pixel). Validated against core sample properties, generated images showed higher property fidelity with dual-constraint errors of 1.9-12.4% compared to 37.5-713.6% for randomly extracted real sub-images. This capability provides practical tools for subsurface characterization, particularly valuable for carbon storage, geothermal energy, and groundwater management.
