methods and system for determining the disposition / orientation of a structural resource (or resources) present in an unfinished well core, apparatus, apparatus and method for capturing data on structural resources present in an unfinished well core, method of providing a simulation visual / illustration of an unfinished well core, and apparatus for collecting data related to a structural feature present in a core sample

摘要

The present invention relates to a system, method and apparatus for determining the arrangement / orientation of a structural feature or structural feature present in an unfinished well core, such as a core sample. apparatus 10 is provided for capturing data on structural features present in the core sample. apparatus (10) comprises an orientation arrangement configured to determine the orientation, or alteration of orientation, of the apparatus and a data capture arrangement configured to capture orientation data generated by the orientation arrangement. The orientation arrangement may include a gyroscope. apparatus 10 also comprises an alignment arrangement operable to align the apparatus with a structural feature related to the core sample. The alignment arrangement may comprise an alignment indicator operable to provide a visual indication on the surface of the core sample. The method may include real-time delivery of acquisition point data to cloud-based storage.
