Some Applications of CT-Scanner in Petroleum Engineering

Abstract

Computerized Tomography (CT) is a new radiological imaging technique that measures density and atomic composition inside an object. Since 1980, CT has been applied in petrophysics and reservoir engineering. This paper discusses several petrophysical applications in core analysis such as: quantification of complex mineralogy, characterization of drilling fluid invasion, core quality control, bedding detection, porosity determination and fracture analysis. For reservoir engineering, cores can be scanned through X-Ray transparent pressure vessels to allow observations of multiphase fluid flow. This provides an effective means of observing oil displacement mechanisms.
