In addition to importing virtually any externally acquired data, GIT Systems software has the ability to directly control and acquire data from the MRI equipment. GIT has validated the measurement technique on two hardware platforms: the Bruker LF90 minispec system and the Oxford Instruments’ GeoSpec line of rock core analyzers (more information provided below).

GIT has significant expertise in MRI and will work with our customers to ensure hardware compatibility with any MRI equipment vendor. We would be happy to answer any technical questions you may have.

Bruker

Release 1.0 of GIT Systems was developed on the Bruker LF90 minispec system. It consistently provides excellent results on standard rock core plugs. The intuitive software interface simplifies the acquisition of NMR measurements in the lab and coupled with the LF90 dramatically improves measurement speed and accuracy.

Oxford Instruments

Oxford Instruments’ GeoSpec is the industry standard with installations in almost every major oil producer and SCAL laboratory world-wide. The standard operating frequency is 2MHz to minimize the effect of high magnetic susceptibility gradients present in some rocks, and to complement the operating frequency of down-hole well logging tools. For routine core analysis, a new software package, LithoMetrix, takes full control of the instrument hardware and automatically generates BVI, FFI, CBW, effective porosity, T1 and T2 cut-off values and NMR permeability. This new package is available exclusively on the GeoSpec range, through a technical and commercial collaboration between Oxford Instruments and Green Imaging Technologies Inc.

The GeoSpec range of NMR instruments also supports GIT Systems software, which utilizes the MRI instrument to measure capillary pressure using the patented GIT-CAP technique. The software also allows the user to model such reservoir parameters as NMR permeability, wettability, and relative permeability.
