Tool for rapid and non-destructive acoustic analysis of core samples for hydrocarbon exploration
High-resolution, full-core acoustic analysis without direct sample contactProblem statementAcoustic testing with ultrasonic transducers is a simple and non-destructive means of analyzing rock samples for hydrocarbon exploration. Such analysis can provide information on the rock type, density, shape and grain size, porosity, anisotropy, pore liquid,...

A robust tool for full in-situ rock characterization
Problem statement Pore-throat-size distribution is one of the most basic properties of porous media, which controls fluid flow and many physical properties of reservoir rocks (Fig. 1). Accurate, real-time, safe, and in-situ assessment of this property, however, has always been a challenge for the petroleum industry. Reliable assessment of this property...
