Design of Alignment System to Ensure Consistent Sample Direction Between Experiments Using Laser Tick Mark

Project Type: Self-Initiated

Project Description

Many laboratory tests when it comes to core analysis are delicate to sample direction. This concept is also known as anisotropy. Anisotropy in oil & gas industry means that some or all properties of a core sample are dependent upon location and/or direction. Hence, the need of a systematic wat to account for direction variation is essential in order to have accurate and consistent evaluation. This projects aims to utilize laser-based system to impose a reference mark on core samples, and these marks are analyzed to compare original reference in between experiments to ensure proper handling.
