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 and on a drilling pad, so that real time analysis of the core sample can occur after being extracted from the wellbore. One of the trailers can include a scanning unit for scanning the core sample and obtaining information within the core sample. Other trailers can include units that further analyze the core sample, such as by grinding, laser induced breakdown spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and scanning the core material nano-structure. The core sample scanning involves a computed tomography (CT) scan, where a length of core sample is analyzed in the scanning unit.
