Using multimodal X-ray computed tomography to advance 3D petrography: A non-destructive investigation of olivine inside a carbonaceous chondrite

Rocks form in three dimensions through time and studying them provides information from inside dynamic systems we cannot otherwise observe. Yet how we typically access the interior of the rocks themselves to gain that information may limit our understanding and influence how we reconstruct the processes that formed them. Here, we demonstrate combined non-destructive 3D X-ray imaging techniques that produce quantitative densitometric and crystallographic maps of entire individual grains inside a rock. Olivine grains throughout a sample of the carbonaceous chondrite Northwest Africa (NWA) 11346 were each characterized by size, shape, composition, zoning intensity, and crystallographic orientation. The addition of 3D crystallographic mapping to calibrated 3D densitometric analysis—used to calculate chemical composition—demonstrates a fully non-destructive petrographic method and provides unique insight. For instance, in our case, using crystallographic data to delineate individual grains and then measuring the 3D size, shape, and composition of each distinguishes variably reset relict grains from those later crystallized after a melting event. Intersection in a 2D slice could not have led to this interpretation because the integration of three-dimensional size, rounding, composition, location, and crystallographic orientation measured from each grain forms the key patterns. Multimodal laboratory X-ray imaging has strong potential to advance 3D petrography.

Computed Tomography Scanning and Geophysical Measurements of the Caney Shale Formation from the Tomaney #1-35-34-27 Well

Evaluation of reservoir samples can support resource estimation and determination of effective extraction methodologies. While it is common for commercial entities to perform these characterizations, the resources necessary to conduct these analyses are not always available to the broader interest base, such as state agencies, universities, and research-based consortiums. To meet the growing need for comprehensive and high-quality lithologic data for collaborative research initiatives, the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) has used available resources in conjunction with previous techniques and new, innovative methodologies to develop a systematic approach for the evaluation of cores. This report focuses on the Tomaney #1-35-34-27 well. Tomaney #1-35-34-27 was drilled in southwestern Stephens County, Oklahoma within section 35, township 2S, and range 4W. The Tomaney #1-35-34-27 was drilled in January/February of 2020 and targeted the Devonian Woodford Shale Formation and cored the Mississippian Caney Shale formation within the Ardmore Basin.

Report Outlining Computed Tomography Strategy and Microscopy Approach to Qualifying AM 316 Materials

This report is part of work package CR-22OR0406012, Automated, High-Throughput Materials Characterization Techniques , under the Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies program (AMMT). The project’s primary objective is to leverage our AI-based rapid and high-throughput automated characterization framework to qualify additively manufactured 316 materials comprehensively, focusing on optimizing the additive manufacturing process and evaluating the performance of 3D-printed stainless steel components. This report outlines our strategy for leveraging the automated characterization process for qualifying 316H materials.
