Cri.Ar

LA.TE. ANDES, in collaboration with CONICET, CNEA, and Endeavour Ingeniería, developed and built a cryogenic magnetometer, Cri.Ar, based on superconducting sensors, to measure the remanent magnetization of rocks for paleomagnetic studies.

Services

The magnetometer provides information on:

  • Deformation time.
  • Crowns orientation.
  • Quantification of rotations.
  • Chronostratigraphic location of sedimentary profiles.
  • Sedimentation rates.
  • Determination of petrofabric.
  • Orientation of paleocurrents.

Applications

Main applications in geology, particularly in the oil and gas industry:

  • Deformation's age from a growth sequence.
  • Azimuthal orientation of drill cores by paleomagnetic methods: the original orientation of the crown can be obtained from the rock's magnetic remanence direction.
  • Conventional paleomagnetism.
