Select porous carbonate cores are used to carry out water-flooding oil micro-CT flooding experiments, and use image processing to separate oil, water, microfacies, and rock skeleton. The gray value is used to determine the distribution position of the microfacies sub-resolution remaining oil. The gray image resolution is improved by the SRCNN method to improve the pore identification accuracy. The distribution and evolution law of the sub-resolution remaining oil after the displacement is determined by the oil-water distribution results. Using the SRCNN method, the pore recognition accuracy of the original scanned images of the two samples was increased by 47.88 times and 9.09 times, respectively. The sub-resolution residual oil and the macro-pore residual oil were determined from the CT scan images after the brine was saturated and divided into five categories. With the increase in the displacement ratio, the columnar and droplet residual oil of the low-permeability samples first increased and then decreased, and the cluster residual oil gradually decreased. The continuous residual oil of the hypertonic samples gradually decreased, and the discontinuous residual oil gradually increased. According to the research results of carbonate pore throat identification and sub-resolution microscopic residual oil change characteristics after water flooding under the SRCNN method, a method for distinguishing porous carbonate reservoirs is provided.
