HIGH-RESOLUTION SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHY
While a regional framework provides the big picture, the true performance of a reservoir is dictated by subtle, small-scale details that control fluid flow and reservoir connectivity. Our High-Resolution Sequence Stratigraphy service focuses on these critical details. By integrating high-resolution seismic, detailed well logs, and core data, we build a granular stratigraphic framework that allows for the accurate prediction of reservoir heterogeneity and the identification of sweet spots, barriers, and baffles that directly impact production.
A Detailed Look at Reservoir Architecture
We go beyond the regional scale to build a highly predictive model of your reservoir’s internal architecture. Our workflow includes:
- Detailed Well Log Correlation: We perform meticulous, high-resolution correlation at the parasequence or bed-set level to understand the fine-scale stacking patterns and continuity of reservoir units.
- Core-to-Log Integration: We use detailed core descriptions to calibrate well logs, ensuring that our stratigraphic picks are grounded in a direct understanding of rock types and reservoir quality.
- High-Resolution Depositional Modeling: We build detailed stratigraphic models that accurately represent the distribution and stacking patterns of different depositional environments within the reservoir.
- Identification of Baffles & Barriers: We delineate thin shale layers, minor faults, and other stratigraphic features that can act as baffles or barriers to fluid flow, which is crucial for infill drilling and enhanced recovery planning.
The Key Benefits We Deliver
By leveraging our high-resolution sequence stratigraphy expertise, you can significantly enhance your development and production strategies:
- Accurate Reservoir Models: Provide a geologically realistic and detailed static model that serves as a superior foundation for dynamic reservoir simulation.
- Optimized Infill Drilling: Identify undrained compartments, bypassed pay, and sweet spots for new wells with a higher degree of confidence.
- Improved Recovery: Gain a deep understanding of fluid flow barriers to better plan and execute enhanced oil recovery (EOR) strategies.
- Reduced Production Risk: Minimize the uncertainty associated with reservoir connectivity and heterogeneity, leading to more predictable production performance.
