How to extract significant actionable insights from rock and mineral imaging data
Geology plays a critical role in supporting today’s clean energy infrastructure, from optimizing fossil fuel extraction and storing CO₂ in suitable geological formations to harnessing natural hydrogen and advancing deep geothermal energy.
In this webinar, we will explore a range of modern analytical approaches focused on porosity analysis, flow simulation, compositional studies, mineralogical characterization, and much more.
Our speakers will present advanced methods and innovations in digital rock analysis, with a strong emphasis on imaging data acquired through electron microscopy, spectroscopy, and computed tomography.
Watch this webinar to learn how to:
- Visualize and correlate different imaging data inputs to determine fundamental properties of rock samples
- Use AI to your advantage in digital rock analysis for segmentation efficiency and accuracy
- Quantify and make use of fundamental sample parameters like porosity, composition, and other chemical-physical parameters
