Digital rock physics lab Ingrain has been awarded a contract by the Colombian government’s National Hydrocarbons Agency (ANH) to digitize and characterize the high-volume of core they have in storage.

Ingrain’s technology will provide the ANH with critical knowledge of the sedimentary basins of Colombia to better assess the hydrocarbon potential.

Utilizing its latest-generation technologies, expertise in reservoir rock analysis, and state-of-the-art equipment from Carl Zeiss, Ingrain will characterize thousands of meters of whole core stored at ANH’s National Core Repository (Litoteca Nacional de Colombia). This project also will create a digital database that will make the data readily accessible and preserve important information of the core for future use.
