  • Method and system for estimating properties of porous media such as fine pore or tight rocks
    Patent number: 9201026
    Abstract: A method for estimating properties of porous media, such as fine pore or tight rocks, is provided. The method comprises digital image scanning of sequential sub-samples of porous media at progressively higher resolution to systematically identify sub-sections of interest within the original sample and then estimate properties of the porous media. The resulting properties of the porous media then can be optionally upscaled to further estimate the properties of larger volumes of the porous media such as rock facies or subterranean reservoirs. A system operable for conducting the method also is provided.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: December 1, 2015
    Assignee: Ingrain, Inc.
    Inventors: Joel Walls, Elizabeth Diaz, Michael Suhrer, Boaz Nur, Avrami Grader, Gustavo Carpio, Timothy Cavanaugh, Marcus Ganz
  • Dual image method and system for generating a multi-dimensional image of a sample
    Patent number: 9064328
    Abstract: The present invention relates in part to a method for generating a multi-dimensional image of a sample which combines different image capturing modalities with data analysis capability for identifying and integrating the higher accuracy image features captured by each respective modality to yield reconciled image data of higher accuracy and consistency. A system which can be used to perform the method also is included.
