  • Method for examining samples of frozen rocks
    Patent number: 9588032
    Abstract: A sample of frozen rocks is placed into contact with a frozen solution of an X-ray contrast agent at subzero temperature. Upon the end of saturation of the sample, a computed X-ray microtomography of the sample is conducted at a subzero temperature. The obtained microtomographic image is analyzed and spatial distribution and concentration of ice and/or gas hydrate inclusions, as well as open and closed porosity are determined.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 28, 2012
    Date of Patent: March 7, 2017
    Assignee: SCHLUMBERGER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION
    Inventors: Alexander Nikolaevich Nadeev, Evgeny Mikhailovich Chuvilin, Olga Vladimirovna Popova
  • Method for examining samples of unconsolidated porous media
    Patent number: 9417177
    Abstract: A sample of an unconsolidated porous medium is frozen and at subzero temperature is placed into contact with a frozen solution of an X-ray contrast agent. Upon the end of saturation of the sample, X-ray computed microtomography of the sample is conducted at subzero temperatures and by means of analyzing the obtained computer tomograhic image, spatial distribution and concentration of ice and/or gas hydrate inclusions, open and closed porosity, pore size distribution, specific surface in the sample are determined.
