MR Solutions Partners with Green Imaging

A new 3D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) solution, the ImaCore 3017, is being introduced to the oil and gas sector for high resolution rock core imaging. MR Solutions, of Guildford, UK in partnership with Green Imaging Technologies, based in New Brunswick, Canada have combined technologies to bring a complete rock core imaging solution to the sector.
 
Traditionally, rock core analysis is an exercise in providing measured data, but equipment limitations can result in final analysis that involves using theories to understand what is happening at the pore level. The ImaCore 3017 will virtually remove these resolution limitations by allowing customers to bolster the theoretical with actual images of all the fluid present in the rock core sample, and thus the pore network. Three orders for this system have already been placed within the oil and gas sector. 
 
For the oil and gas exploration sector, MR Solution’s unique cryogen-free MRI imaging technology is highly versatile as the magnet field can be adjusted from 0.1T to 3.0T, depending on image requirements. Sample sizes can range from 1” to 4” diameters and ample space is provided for pressure and flow cells, allowing users to make measurements at reservoir conditions and to perform high resolution flow studies.
 
MR Solutions’ technology, including the latest 3D imaging pulse sequences, is combined with Green Imaging’s software products to provide an easy to use interface. This provides workflow management, easy calibration, system monitoring and end results matching the industry’s best practices for rock core analysis. The ImaCore system allows oil and gas sector customers to understand the complex mechanisms and processes happening within rock core samples and interpolate that understanding across entire reservoirs.
 
MR Solutions has over 30 years’ experience in the development of cutting edge MRI scanning with in excess of 1000 installations across the world.
