Physical Properties

Ingrain computes physical properties using vRock digital reservoir rocks -- high resolution 3D images of the pore geometry and grain structure of rock samples.  Ingrain's process works equally well with samples taken from core plugs, oil sands samples or drill cuttings:

• Porosity:  Vv/Vt (% total, connected and isolated porosity)

• Absolute permeability:  Permeability (mD) in X, Y and Z directions

• Electrical properties:  Formation factor (S/m) in X, Y and Z directions

• Elastic properties:  Bulk modulus (K), compressional velocity (Vp), Young's modulus (E), Shear modulus (G), Shear velocity (Vs), Poisson's ratio
