About Us
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is the best method to directly measure hydrogen content in a material; it is used extensively in both medicine (MRI’s use the same technology) and in chemistry (e.g. spectrometric analysis used for identification of organic compounds). Vista Clara specializes in the use of NMR as a geophysical technique to remotely quantify water content, saturated porosity, relative pore size distribution and hydraulic conductivity in the shallow Earth.
An Exclusive Focus on NMR Technology
Vista Clara focuses primarily on NMR technology, developing and manufacturing magnetic resonance tools for measurement of hydrogeological properties that affect where groundwater is located and how it moves through the subsurface. Our advanced NMR geophysical instruments are used by groundwater professionals for environmental, mining, and energy resource investigations.
In business since 1997, Vista Clara is the world’s only geophysical instrumentation company with an exclusive focus on NMR technology. Our unique expertise enables the company to rapidly develop and commercialize technologically advanced NMR instruments, and to leverage our portfolio of hardware and software technologies across a growing line of products.
Geophysical Groundwater Services Using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)
Vista Clara offers comprehensive geophysical services, with a focus on NMR, to deliver valuable information for a wide range of groundwater applications, including environmental, municipal, agricultural, and mining projects. Our unique expertise in NMR instrumentation and analysis allows us to provide detailed characterization of hydrological properties associated with the location and availability of groundwater without the need to drill additional wells. We specialize in collecting NMR data non-invasively using our GMR™ surface-based instrument or via boreholes using our Javelin® logging tools. Moreover, we even deploy and operate NMR tools in combination with direct-push drill equipment, like the Geoprobe® system. Our team of expert engineers and geophysicists are there to help our clients interpret these measurements to deliver useful and actionable information about real-world groundwater problems. In addition to NMR measurements, we also provide a full suite of conventional surface and borehole geophysical services to complement our NMR data sets.
