Evaluate Matrix Quality

Understanding the reservoir matrix and how fluids move within it are important to long-term strategic production goals. Reservoirs formed of carbonate rocks have additional matrix complexities such as fracture corridors and variations in porosity and permeability.

Carbonate Reservoirs

• Characterization of Fractured Reservoirs

  A unique combination of modeling and visualization techniques to simulate fracture properties provides a more complete understanding of the reservoir and its fluid flow mechanisms.

• Carbonate Advisor 

  Carbonate Advisor methodology offers a systematic analytical framework that integrates information from magnetic resonance and elemental capture spectroscopy, as well as from other logs and core data, to produce a comprehensive petrophysical formation evaluation of carbonate rocks.

Formation Evaluation

• Logging While Drilling

• EcoScope Multifunction Logging while Drilling 
  One collar delivers a full suite of formation evaluation answers plus elemental capture spectroscopy, neutron gamma density, and sigma. Extra telemetry bandwidth allows real-time images without affecting resolution of triple-combo curves.
• sonicVISION Sonic while Drilling Service 
  LWD compressional and shear measurements and a full slowness projection log give a better understanding of rock mechanical properties in real time.

• Wireline

• Scanner Family
  Wireline services that see tens of feet into the formation at multiple depths simultaneously deliver information that helps maximize certainty in modeling inputs derived from acoustic, resistivity, and NMR properties. Information on formation stresses and long-term integrity strengthens reservoir understanding.
• Borehole Imaging Systems
  A variety of deepwater-enabled tools are available to image sedimentary features and to define important reservoir geometries and petrophysical reservoir parameters.
• Elemental Capture Spectroscopy Sonde
  For detailed reservoir analysis, formation elements are measured in open or cased hole, and wellsite processing produces dry-weight elements, lithology, and matrix properties. Matrix sigma, thermal and epithermal neutron, and matrix grain density measurements provide inputs for porosity, permeability, and saturation analysis.
