ImaCore 3D Core Imager - Green Imaging

Applications

Porosity and Pore Size

NMR T2 relaxation is directly related to pore size in porous media and total signal detected is porosity

NMR Well Log Calibration

Upgrade the quality of your downhole NMR well log data.

2D/3D Correlation Maps

Overlay related petrophysical parameters to discovery new information.

Capillary Pressure

Rapid, data rich capillary pressure curves, measured not modelled.

Relative Permeability

Steady and Unsteady state relative permeability using NMR saturations.

Flow Studies

Study the interaction of fluid, pore network and mineralogy. Up to 10,000 psi flow and confining pressures.

Wettability

A key parameter for determining fluid interactions and extraction potential.

Imaging

Take measurements to the next level and resolve in 1 to 3 dimensions. Advanced visualization of the pore network and the fluid it contains.

Carbon Storage

Study reservoir integrity and mineralization through C02 saturation and/or flow studies.

In-Situ Mining

Characterize fluid interactions with the deposit pore network.

ImaCore 3D Rock Core Imager

Combining Green Imaging’s powerful yet easy to use GIT Systems software with MR Solutions leading MRI imaging hardware, ImaCore offers the most powerful rock core analyzer on the market. With a variable field magnet which can perform measurements at field strengths from 0.1 Tesla to 3.0 Tesla, a magnet bore allowing up to 17cm diameter samples, a rotating gimbal, a cryogen free super conducting magnet and industry leading acquisition software, ImaCore will be a key tool for revealing the missing pieces and completing the reservoir puzzle.

Designed to allow MRI and NMR researchers with the ultimate tool for rock core analysis, the ImaCore allows for extremely fast measurements on core plugs or full core measuring the pore network and fluids present in high resolution 3D. This includes flow studies or flooding experiments to study flow fronts and fluid interactions for EOR studies, carbon storage studies and any other area where fluid/pore interactions are key.

The variable field nature of the magnet means researchers can measure not just hydrogen nuclei, but also carbon, sodium and fluorine.
