“PIK-RKT-225-HPHT” X-ray computer tomograph for core at reservoir conditions

The “PIK-RKT-225-HPHT” X-ray computer tomograph is designed for core samples tomography at reservoir conditions and is used for the current assessment of reservoir model saturation and displacement front dynamics during filtration experiments (oil displacement by various agents, relative phase permeabilities in “liquid-liquid” and “liquid-gas” systems, etc.).

The X-ray source and detector rotate around and move along a stationary subject, providing continuous control of the experimental parameters. The use of a solid-state detector and an x-ray tube with a small focal spot allows achieving maximum shooting resolution.
X-ray transparent core holder made of composite materials ensures compliance with reservoir conditions for filtering experiments. Without a core holder, the tomograph can be used for tomography of a full-size core or its samples at atmospheric conditions.
