Capturing Digital Rock Properties for Reservoir Modeling
The latest issue of World Oil magazine features an Ingrain case study co-authored with Noble Energy. The case study discusses how comparative analysis shows that a digital and real core compare favorably when digital and real experiments are run. Please ...
Revolutionizing Core Analysis
Houston-based Ingrain uses latest-generation 3D CT (computed tomography) to quickly and accurately determine absolute and relative permeability, resistivity, elastic properties, pore and grain statistics. Results are available in days, they claim, even in ultra-low permeability sandstones, complex carbonates and shales. ...
Digital Rock Physics Bridges Scales of Measurement
Ingrain's digital rock physics lab images the details of rock structure at the pore scale and uses these images to accurately simulate physical experiments in the computer. Only recently have powerful 3D scanners and computing clusters rendered this concept commercially ...
