It has become an industry standard for whole-core X-ray computed tomography (CT) scans
to be collected over cored intervals. The resulting data is typically presented as static 2D
images, video scans, and as 1D density curves. However, the CT volume is a rich dataset of
compositional and textural information that can be incorporated into core description and
analysis workflows. In order to access this information the raw CT data initially has to be
processed to remove artifacts such as the aluminum tubing, wax casing and mud filtrate. CT …
