Digital Rock Characterization

Multidimensional/Volumetric Data Acquisition

Interactively view whole cores and plug samples on the secured Core Client web.
Circumferencial/unwrapped images : Assessment of maximum dip slabbing plane, orientation of cores without physically scribing them.
High-resolution (0.5 mm vertical resolution) bulk density log : describe reservoirs with extreme detail, calibrate logs with lab-measurements calibrated data, depth shifting.
Virtual slab view : pick sub-samples without handling the cores.
Analyze heterogeneity of plug samples.

Enhanced Fracture Description via CT Image Analysis

Mississippian Limestone example
- Core & fracture descriptions core made for reservoir description & well completion
- Note steeply dipping (75°), partially open (1.0 mm ave), calcite-filled, extensional fracture with common multiples
- Image analysis to dimension fractures & quantify porosity

Image Analysis: 3D Pore Model (Labeled Image)

Mississippian Limestone example
- Object map converted to a 3D model
- Fracture systems, vugs, etc. can be isolated and discriminated by color
- Conjugate fracture sets are readily identified
