The goal of core sample analysis is to characterize various properties in rock structures such as porosity, fracture aperture and fracture types. Another need is to create simulation models to understand the behavior of fluid flow through these rock structures, as an example.
Avizo can be used as a unification tool for a wide range of analysis on core sample datasets for various sizes and resolutions, such as full size cores, samples (10-20 cm diameter), plugs (5 cm), and small cubes (1 cm).
Major oil and gas companies use Avizo to analyze their core data sets obtained from data sources such as CT-scan, MRI, MicroCT, and Synchrotron.
Avizo integrates easily into the following workflows:
- Visualization of core samples from 2D cuts to 3D volume
- Dip and strike analysis, fracture network analysis
- Particles and phases characterization and quantification
- Reconstruction of 3D rock models, quality control
- Petrophysical analysis for porosity, wettability, permeability...
- Pore network modeling
- Flow simulations
Avizo features for petrography and core sample analysis:
- Import multiple modalities CT-scan, MRI, PET, SEM/FIB...
- Fast visualization: slicing including cylinder, curved and dip/strike slices;
clipping; volume rendering
- Advanced image processing: filtering, alignment, cropping and virtual plug extraction, registration, fusion, segmentation, geometry reconstruction
- Comparison, quantification, individual or statistical measurements
- Skeletonization of porous networks
- Pre/post-processing for numerical simulation
- Matlab® bridge
- Customizable and extensible for specific routine tasks
