X-radiography

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-004185

A technique that uses X-rays to create images of the internal structure of rock samples, such as core plugs. Differences in X-ray absorption reveal variations in density and mineral composition, highlighting features like fractures, vugs, and bedding planes. This method is non-destructive and provides visual insights into reservoir heterogeneity.
