As part of a DOE-funded Phase 2 SBIR proposal to monitor subsurface contaminant remediation, Vista Clara conducted initial borehole NMR logging within existing 3-inch PVC wells located at UMTRA on the edge on Colorado River.
The borehole logging was done using a Javelin Slim NMR logging system (2.38” diameter probe). In comparison to conventional methods, Vista Clara NMR logging acquisition and post-processing software enables simultaneous processing and displaying of collected data, thus providing real-time feedback on aquifer properties.
The DOE and LBNL will use these and future Vista Clara NMR logs at the UMTRA site to plan and monitor injections and remediation progress, boosting the efficiency and lowering the cost of remediation activities at the site.
