Abstract
A method and system for analyzing a core sample from a wellbore, where the analysis takes place in the field and proximate the wellbore. The system includes trailers adjacent one another. One of the trailers can include a unit for scanning the core sample and obtaining information within the sample. Other trailers can include units that further analyze the core, such as by grinding, laser spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. The core sample scanning involves a computerized tomography (CT) scan, where a length of core is analyzed in the scanning unit. The unit includes a manipulator system for moving the core sample through a rotating scan source in the scanning unit.
