Ingrain Launches CoreHD®High-Definition Core Imaging and Logging
Houston (April 21, 2010) Ingrain, the oil and gas industry’s
fastest growing digital rock physics company, today introduced CoreHD®, its breakthrough technology platform for 3D high-definition imaging of whole core from oil and gas wells. Ingrain’s CoreHD technology has
significantly advanced the oil and gas industry’s ability to use CT scanners to
image and analyze core.
“CoreHD
gives geoscientists high-definition 3D visibility into their reservoirs
at the wellbore scale,”said Henrique Tono, Ingrain’s CEO. “CoreHD is a
major advance over the imaging that traditional core analysis labs
provide. As the industry moves into complex rocks like oil shales, 3D
high-definition whole core imaging is becoming an essential tool for
geological core description, rock properties analysis and
reservoir modeling."
