2015 Imaging Energy. All rights reserved.

The Future of Fluid ScienceImagine having the ability to actually see and analyze fluids and suspended particles traveling in a pipe, in real time.


OverviewFrom upstream to downstream

From Drilling Fluids to Production Blends

And every step along the way

Our technology allows you to capture data and images never before imagined.


The PotentialThe applications for Energy are far reaching:Drilling FluidsCementingCompletionProductionPipelineRefining

All can benefit from applying this technology


Proven Industrial TechnologyUtilizing specialized industrial medical Imaging technology (MRI)Customized software provides information like never before in real time.


Current Standard MethodsOur industry has been collecting and analyzing drilling fluids much the same way for more than 50 years. Just about every other rig system has been upgraded except for the way we monitor, test and manage drilling fluids.


Meet our Digital Mud Engineer

Applying our technology to drilling fluids represents a quantum leap forward in the way we can now manage the life blood of your rig.


Digital Drilling Fluid Revolution

Digital Drilling Fluid RevolutionThe oil and gas industry is now benefiting from Aspect Imagings patented proven technology that has been deployed for years in the Medical arena. From drilling to refining and every step in-between, Imaging Energy is revolutionizing the way we measure Rheology.


Digital Drilling Fluid RevolutionThe ability to monitor the key properties of your drilling fluid safely in real time and in a fully automated manner represents a huge advantage to the drillers and operators utilizing this technology.


Achieve Drilling Fluid PerfectionSafetyNo longer do you require someone to pull samples from the tank.Proper mud weight reduces the changes of a catastrophic blowout.PerformanceHigher ROPBetter manage corrosionIdentify particlesBetter well bores Lower mud losses into the formationFeed real time drilling fluid data to drilling optimization programs

Achieve Drilling Fluid Perfection

Cost and RevenuesReduced chance of injury and blowoutIncrease Drill Bit lifeReduce tripsReduce wellbore issues that cause stuck pipe or multiple trips.Reduce drilling timeReduce the amount and frequency of additivesReduce the amount of total drilling fluid neededMore drilling cycles for your drilling equipment more revenues/profit per year.


Remote MonitoringYou no longer need to have a mud engineer on the rig.A remote engineer can now monitor and advise in real time multiple rigs around the globe.


Product Configuration OptionsWe can provide either a core integration kit for seamless installation into your rig or stand alone rental systems.

16This shows the process for extracting the shear rate shear stress data from the combined velocity profile pressure drop reading. The velocity profile is differentiated to obtain the shear rate as a function of radial position, from the high shear rate at the wall to zero shear rate at the center of the tube (note zero is not reached since the velocity and spatial resolution are limited). The shear stress as a function of radial position is calculated from the differential pressure reading and the shear viscosity calculated. This value at the characteristic shear rate of the Bostwick (1 reciprocal second) is used to correlate to the Bostwick value of the ketchup.

Measuring Slip Velocity

MR image of 12 Brix tomato concentrate flowing at 62.4 mL/s and the extracted velocity profile. Note the nonzero velocity at the wall referred to as slip velocity, shown by the blue lines (vertical blue line on image is zero velocity; horizontal blue lines on profile to the right are the magnitude of the slip velocity).
