With the increasing energy demands of oil and gas in Indonesia, then no doubt this has resulted in greater needs for optimizing national energy production. One way to increase the amount of this energy is a further exploitation research with more detailed knowledge about physical properties of reservoir rock. The properties <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> include porosity, permeability, and tortuosity of the reservoir rock. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> In this paper, modeling and analysis of physical properties of rocks carried by computational approaches. For reference, this thesis used three pieces of data, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> including a thin section petrography image and two 3D &#956;CT scan data. Digital modeling for those data was conducted with several control parameters which are <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> grain shape, porosity, and specific surface area (SA). Two of the approaches taken in the permeability estimation are the simulation of fluid flow in porous media based on the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) and the Kozeny-Carman equation (KC). <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> These methods are non destructive tests, so that during the study, rock samples are not damaged by the effect of conventional laboratory physical test method. The results of this study indicate that the produced models have similar properties to rock in terms of porosity, permeability, and visual geometry. This study shows that the physical properties of sandstone can be calculated using digital numerical methods approach with a good result according to Glover's (2000) permeability-porosity cross-plot.
