The QEMSCAN 650F SEM available to Piri Technologies utilizes scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray scattering to generate high resolution mineral maps. This allows for quantitative mineral analysis of reservoir rocks that leads to a better understanding of wettability. Extrapolation of these analyses to other large scale experimental data, such as that from the macro-CT and micro-CT, results in an enhanced understanding pore fluid occupancy and fluid displacement mechanisms, which can then lead to more efficient hydrocarbon recovery schemes.
