Surrogate structures that rock

Therefore, Micronit has developed three types of Enhanced oil recovery chips together with leading industrial partners. These chips can be used for researching enhanced oil recovery, reservoir engineering and the environment. These chips can be found in our web store and contain either a uniform, random or a physical rock pore structure network, offering the following benefits:

• Optically clear for flow visualisation.
• Restrictive two-dimensional geometry, so called Hele Shaw Cells, for improved observation.
• Controlled definition of rock pore structures through lithographic production techniques.
• Pores, channels and the interconnection of varying dimensions accurately reproduced.

As an alternative to these standard structures we can offer you custom designs. Our creative product development service will gladly assist you in getting the design that matches the porous structures you require.

Fields and applications:

• Enhanced oil recovery research
• Reservoir engineering
• Environmental research
