New 3-D imaging system reveals rock sample internal structure
NanoXCT image device is introduced to reveal nano-scale three-dimensional resolution of reservoir rock’s pore structures. It’s announced by this OSHOT Silver Sponsor to provide enhanced knowledge of pore structures to help geoscientists determine how to best extract fluids from particular oil and gas formations.
NanoXCT is engineered to study complex, unconventional fields including tight gas sands and oil shales. It focuses an X-ray source onto an extremely small region of interest within a rock sample — as small as 20 to 60 microns. The best resolution of the new device is 0.05 microns (50 nanometers) or 1/1000 the diameter of a strand of human hair. Complete NanoXCT specifics are yours free upon request from this rock physics company.
