Abstract

A high-resolution, optical core scan laboratory has been set up at Borehole Geophysics Research Laboratory (BGRL), Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES), Karad. The facility provides a DMT® CoreScan3 optical core scanner and digital drill core data management system for core logging and analysis since July 2016. High resolution images are being produced in 360° mode for detailed unwrapped full circumference of drill core or plane mode for top surface image of slabbed drill core. Planar images of fractured cores and cuttings are also obtained. Image resolution ranges from 5 pix/mm (~16 megapixel equivalent) to 40 pix/mm (~1024 megapixel equivalent) for mapping of ultra high resolution data. The scanned core images are combined to create a digital core library. The facility helps in core sample analysis, structural analysis, textural and grain-size analysis, geotechnical studies, and integration with geophysical log data.
