Core Analysis & Digitisation
Advanced technologies for comprehensive subsurface understanding
Multi-Sensor Core Logging
High resolution data is rapidly acquired and combined to create and define trans-disciplinary distinct facies types, enabling highly targeted sampling for optimal results.
Intelligent sampling point selection (adaptive sampling)
Petrophysical core facies identification
Minimal sampling footprint - non-disruptive to other analyses
Improved outcomes for all subsequent core studies
Rock strength analysis for geomechanics sample selection
High Pressure Mercury Injection (MICP)
Mercury Injection Capillary Pressure plays a critical role in understanding fluid distribution in reservoirs, providing essential data for reservoir characterization and development planning.
Pore system characterization - pore throat size distribution (PTSD)
Rock typing in both carbonates and clastics
Sample selection design for advanced studies (e.g. SCAL)
Reservoir baffle and cap rock evaluation
