The webinar discusses the advantages and applications of digital rock modeling and simulation technology to improve reservoir performance predictability - Insight and Properties using high-resolution microscopy imaging of core samples. Featured Product Digital SCAL modeling of dynamic rock-fluid properties FEI's digital SCAL is a comprehensive special core analysis (SCAL) workflow for carbonates, clastics, and some tight samples. It uses digital rock technology to derive multi-phase fluid flow properties. The resulting models can be derived in less time than traditional lab tests and can be used to run multi-scenario studies to test fluid sensitivities, various saturation and flooding methods, and wettability states.
