The National Hydrocarbons Agency (ANH) of Colombia Awards Major Contract to ZEISS Electron Microscopes as Zeiss brings efficiency and profitability to onshore and upstream Oil and Natural Gas.
"With the recent integration of our Light and Electron Microscopy business units, Carl Zeiss Microscopy is now in a unique position to better serve our customers in the oil and gas sectors," stated Dr. Frank Stietz, Member of the Board of Carl Zeiss Microscopy. "We can now more efficiently leverage our complete line of products and services to create a true core to pore work flow for microscopic analysis. I am excited that we are at the forefront of an industry working to advance discovery in this important area of natural resources."
Carl Zeiss is at the forefront of developing analytical solutions for the oil and gas exploration sectors and is the only microscopy company worldwide with a complete portfolio of class leading light microscopes, electron microscopes and FIB-SEM systems. The ANH is responsible for promoting the sustainable development of the country's hydrocarbon resources through an integral management approach that harmonizes the interests of the society, country and the companies of the sector.
"Carl Zeiss has unique imaging capabilities that are ideally suited to the oil and gas exploration sector with the exclusive combination of ultrahigh resolution, immersion field-free imaging, simultaneous collection of in-chamber secondary electrons (SE) and energy filtering of backscattered electrons (EsB detection)." stated Jerry Lehman, Director of Technology at Carl Zeiss Microscopy, LLC.
ZEISS electron microscopes and FIB technology have been selected as a key component in this resource identification project for the characterization of shale core samples. The project will use a significant number of ZEISS electron microscopes for high resolution, three dimensional imaging of subsoil organic content. The images generated by these electron microscopes will be analyzed using technology from Ingrain to better rock properties and resource locations.
