Core Analysis and Virtual Lab (VLAB)
At Far Energy, we are transforming the way core samples are analysed through our advanced Virtual Lab (VLAB). This in-house virtual laboratory enables precise and efficient analysis of core samples by utilising 3D simulations, offering detailed insights into the composition and permeability of samples in various states.
Traditionally, core analysis required time-consuming physical testing, whereas VLAB's automated mineralogy drastically reduces this time while providing even greater accuracy. By virtualising mineral core samples with the help of advanced AI algorithms, our Virtual Core Flooding system allows surveyors to perform detailed characterisations far beyond the capabilities of traditional lab measurements.
Key benefits of VLAB include:
Enhanced Sample Characterisation: Our technology provides an accurate representation of minerals, fractures, and void spaces within the sample, enabling a deeper understanding of the material's structure.
Hydrocarbon Recovery Simulation: The system validates hydrocarbon recovery simulations, providing valuable data for efficient resource extraction.
Optimised Reservoir Extraction: By identifying void spaces with precision, VLAB enhances the efficiency of reservoir extraction, helping to minimise resource waste.
Core virtualization workflow produced by VLAB
This system leverages high-end core scanning hardware combined with Far Energy’s patented software, streamlining the entire process. With VLAB, surveyors can now identify material distribution across core samples faster and more accurately than ever before. This expedites project timelines and delivers a more economical solution for the energy and mineral industries.
By pushing the boundaries of traditional testing techniques, Far Energy is setting a new standard in core analysis, enabling the geothermal and energy sectors to extract resources more efficiently and sustainably.
