Caprock Integrity
Analyzing, modeling, and monitoring geomechanical properties of heavy oil reservoirs in harsh environments
In heavy-oil reservoirs such as those in Canada, caprock integrity is as complex as it is important. It relies on the geomechanical properties of the rock in its present form, as well as modifications to the geomechanical properties, as the reservoir is subjected to production methods such as steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) and cyclic steam stimulation (CSS).
A world leader in reservoir geomechanics, Schlumberger has both the science and experience to help operators address this complex issue. We deliver all the services required to acquire data and analyze, model, and monitor all aspects of caprock integrity.
Creating a customized project with integration of core, logging, testing, and seismic programs.
Examining thermal and pressure effects of the steam on the reservoir caprock.
Creating a reservoir model that examines the dynamic effects of steam injection, fracturing, and mechanical property response over the life of the reservoir.
Designing and implementing fit-for-purpose services and equipment for thermal recovery processes.
Using industry-leading measurements, tools, and techniques to monitor the thermal recovery process and its effects on the reservoir, the caprock, and the environment.
