Hydrocarbon Volume

Overview Library

To calculate basic economic viability, you need to estimate the volume of hydrocarbons in the reservoir. By combining various measurement types and using specially calibrated tools we can define the difference between oil and water contacts in heavier reservoirs.

Porosity and Saturation

Oil volume is determined using accurate porosity and saturation readings by integrating a variety of data acquisition methods and tools specially designed to work in challenging reservoirs.

  • Dielectric Scanner
    Multifrequency dielectric dispersion service directly measures water volume and rock textural information to deliver hydrocarbon volume in heavy oil reservoirs.
  • IPL Integrated Porosity Lithology 
    When combined with measurements from nuclear magnetic resonance tools, measurements taken at different depths from the borehole help to estimate the volume of heavy oil in both zones. By understanding the difference between them, the oil displaced close to the borehole can be calculated, providing an initial estimate of its mobility.
  • Porosity, Permeability and Lithology while Drilling 
    Real-time porosity measurements deliver reliable determinations of mineralogy-independent porosity, bound- and free-fluid volumes, and permeability and pore size, as well as identification of fluids.

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Tools

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) tools are used to evaluate the reservoir and provide saturation, permeability, and fluid profiling for hydrocarbon volume and viscocity evaluation and producibility. 

Consistent and Reliable Reserve Tracking

Reserves management helps you to understand the value and growth potential of your oil and gas business while also adhering to regulatory reporting requirements.
