Well Fracture Studies: benefit from sampling the reservoir

Direct sampling and observation of the reservoir from well data can be very beneficial in fractured reservoir characterisation. At GeoScience we have many man years experience of selecting and interpreting the best tools and techniques for identifying and characterising the fracture system, including its flow properties. We also know what to look for when reservoir stress condition is an issue.

We can help you right through from design and planning of data acquisition programmes to interpretation and integration of the datasets. We offer the following well study services:

Borehole Image Log Interpretations: we carry out interpretations of borehole image logs using our powerful new PC-based ImageLog software (see www.crockerdata.com.au). Our structural geologists deliver detailed interpretations of fracture systems imaged by the logs, together with any indicators of the reservoir stress orientations visible in the imagery. We also undertake sedimentological studies.

 

Fracture Logging of Core: core samples can provide a wealth of information about fracture characteristics which can be used to understand the producing system and also to calibrate the image logs. Our core logging service collects the relevant fracture information, and includes petrographic analysis when required.

Fracture Flow Evaluation: we will integrate overlapping well datasets to identify the depth, nature and distribution of the fracture porosity (open fractures). These can be identified from integration of image logs, core, processed array sonic data and fluid entry logs. Knowledge of the producing subset of fractures is a basic first step towards Fractured Reservoir Models.

Benefits accrue from image to core correlation......
