“The future is now” was the unspoken theme at a May 31 technical breakout session in Anchorage at the state Geologic Materials Center focused on the potential for new investigative technologies and machine learning systems to better assist geologists and resource companies to meet the challenges of interpreting Alaska geology.
Dr. Ramil Ahmadov, principal scientist, New England Research Inc., spoke on the use of his company’s automated scanning system - AutoScan - to analyze fine-scale rock properties and automatically log rock properties in the Nanushuk formation of the North Slope.
“Using a fast, nondestructive and relatively cheap and not real labor intensive system, we can acquire a lot of data and that data could be mined or as we call it, massaged, and some useful things might come out of it that we can then use in propagating a system that actually mimics the reservoir conditions,” Ahmadov said.
