Title: Michael David Mantle: Innovator in Subsurface Imaging Technologies
Introduction
Michael David Mantle is a distinguished inventor based in Cambridge, GB. He has made significant contributions to the field of subsurface imaging technologies, holding 2 patents that showcase his innovative approach to fluid flow simulations and imaging techniques.
Latest Patents
One of Mantle's latest patents is titled "Calibrating direct flow simulations of rock samples." This method involves providing a 3D image of a rock sample and generating a segmented structural image by selecting voxels to represent either pore space or solid material. Fluid flow is simulated on this segmented structural image, and a 3D spatially-resolved fluid velocity map is generated for one or more fluid phases at a pore-scale resolution using pulsed field gradient nuclear magnetic resonance imaging. The simulated fluid flow and the generated velocity map are then compared to calibrate the direct flow simulation across the rock sample.
Another notable patent is "Chemically-selective imager for imaging fluid of a subsurface formation and method of using same." This invention includes an imager designed to receive a core sample of a subsurface formation. The imager features a housing with a fluid inlet, a permanent magnet, a radio frequency coil, and a gradient field. The chemically-selective imager is connected to the radio frequency coil to selectively pulse frequencies, allowing for individual fluid measurements of the sample to be generated.
