Integrated Digital Workflow (idWorkflow™) is a revolutionary workflow. We use digital raw data. We also generate and deliver final reports digitally. Integration means that our lab processes are seamlessly integrated with core logging process provided by our sister company DigitCore Library Inc.
There are three key components in idWorkflow™:
1) Digital Data – all data used in idWorkflow™ are a digital format so that our patent-based DigitCore software can import, process easily and efficiently. We also barcode samples whenever possible to eliminate human errors. All reports produced in idWorkflow™ are also in a digital format so that our clients can import into any applications for interpretations.
2) Digital Core Images – the value of digital core images is maximized in idWorkflow™ because they are used as raw data in place of physical core in the workflow. Historically, core images/photography were used mainly for data archiving purposes as end products. In our idWorkflow™, digital core images are acquired as soon as physical core is slabbed and dry and then used in core logging process. Core depths and sample depths generated in idWorkflow™ match geophysical data perfectly! In addition, digital core images used in place of physical core in our workflow also eliminate the need of a measure type for determination of core depths and lengths.
3) Integration of laboratory procedures and core logging – through this approach all laboratory analytical services are fully integrated to form a coordinated, efficient process. Traditionally, three parties are involved in the process of routine core analysis after core is delivered to the laboratory: a laboratory that performs analytical services, a geological consulting company that provides core logging services (including selecting sample intervals) and the oil company. In our idWorkflow™, our own laboratory works closely with our sister company DigitCore Library Inc. that provides core logging services so that the entire process from core receiving through sample selection to final report delivery is fully integrated, resulting in streamlined and efficient data transfer.
