Examples of recent FRC projects Yemen basements: we have worked for OMV of Austria in Yemen Block S2 and currently for another operator further east. OMV were 'very pleased' with the studies and have recently drilled a successful basement well in the Block (see PESGB Newsletter December 2005).
Pakistani carbonates:
we carried out a project to
predict fracture characteristics and distributions in the sub-surface for a
prospect being investigated by Premier-Kufpec Pakistan. The results were used by
PKP to reduce uncertainties in the determination of economic viability.

taken during outcrop fracture mapping work. Algerian quartzites and sandstones: we continue to be heavily involved in Algeria, working on fractured reservoirs of various age and type: Cambro-Ordovician quartzites (Hamra or close equivalent), Ordovician glaciogenic sediments, Devonian / Carboniferous sandstones. You can read about a fracture study in the Cambro-Orovician at Rhourde El Baguel by visiting our downloads page. At BP’s Tiguentourine field (In Amenas) we carried out interpretations of GVR (RAB) image logs from two deviated and horizontal sidetracks also prepared GeoTV fly-through visualisations (see Latest News item) showing borehole geometry and fracture intersections. Carbonate reservoirs in the UK: During 2005 we prepared a fracture model for the Great Oolite reservoir at Star Energy’s Humbly Grove oilfield in Hampshire, onshore UK. We also carried out wellbore stability studies and geomechanical model development. The project has recently started pumping for gas storage. Borehole Imagery Studies: we have now done a large number of studies using FMI, FMS, UBI, GVR, CBIL, STAR, EI logs in a range of formations.
Other current projects can be read about in our latest news section.
