Cover Story: Digital rock physics allows determining macroscopic rock behavior based on a microscale representation. The accuracy of property prediction depends on the quality of the microtomographic images. This study presents a process-based method to reconstruct the full 3D microstructure of three reservoir sandstones, including grain deposition and diagenetic cementation. It enables efficiently generating synthetic sandstone samples comprising the microstructural complexity of natural rocks and considering any desired size, sorting, and shape of grains. In view of a virtual laboratory, these samples can be further altered to examine the impact of geochemical alterations or fracturing on various petrophysical correlations, which is of particular relevance for a sustainable exploration and utilization of the geological subsurface.
