X-Ray Imaging Lab Opens at OPIC
The Oklahoma Geological Survey's Oklahoma Petroleum Information Center (OPIC) now provides x-ray imaging services to help users determine more about the characteristics of cores that are available for examination through the facility. The majority of OPIC's cores are from Oklahoma, although some originated in other states as.
Video x-ray fluoroscopy is a unique, analytical imaging technology that produces a continuous, real-time, in-motion, x-ray image of a core as well.
