... bullets. The PSWC bullets, including novel designs, were shot in simulated downhole environments. Both control rotary plug samples and PSWC test core samples were imaged with high-resolution X-ray micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) at resolutions between 2 and 11 μm, and digital rock analysis...

... such as hydrocarbons, greenhouse gases, and water flow through their porous systems. Scale and resolution are among the most challenging factors for current 3D printing methods when attempting to replicate the pore architecture of natural porous media. Most 3D printing techniques have resolution restraints during...

...James Howard; Sam Lin; Shawn Zhang Image processing of high-resolution 3D images to create digital representation of pore microstructures for image-based rock physics simulations remains a highly subjective enterprise, despite the seemly precision associated with improving imaging resolutions...

... temperature changes within a sample during a test. High-resolution temperature arrays are available that measure changes in temperature of 0.1°C at 1-mm resolution. The optical backscatter reflectance (OBR) fiber senses both temperature and strain that can be separated through experiment design and signal...

...), is a promising technique. However, DRP workflows are highly variable in terms of imaging tools, resolution of those tools, segmentation algorithms, handling of unresolved porosity, gridding of the resolved pore structure, and mathematical modeling of flow properties. As a result, users familiar with physical...

When we consider the real-time nature of LWD logging, new applications become possible, such as sonic geosteering, real-time sonic fracture...

...H.J. Lemmens; A.R. Butcher; P.W.S.K.
