Carbonates contain the bulk of the world’s remaining oil and gas reserves, however, their pore structures are difficult to characterize. They typically have highly heterogeneous dual and triple porosity systems, with pores ranging from large macro-scale vugs down to micritic microporosity at length scales of tens of nanometers.
Guided sample site selection allows you to progressively image over eight orders of magnitude.
Capture rock heterogeneity by maintaining the spatial relationship of images captured over multiple scales using a wide range of tools. This allows high resolution descriptions of mineralogy, pore structure and morphology to be related to macroscopic maps of lithological texture.
ZEISS offers the widest range of multiscale 2D and 3D imaging tools required to characterize heterogeneous pore structures from the core to nanometer scale.
