Unlocking Reservoir Quality at the Micro-Scale

Our expert sedimentologists use a variety of techniques to unlock the detailed story of your reservoir rocks. Our services include:

• Core Description & Facies Analysis: We perform detailed, foot-by-foot descriptions of core samples to identify lithofacies and interpret the depositional environments, providing a clear picture of the reservoir’s architecture.
• Petrography (Thin Section Analysis): We analyze thin sections under a microscope to understand rock fabric, grain size and shape, and diagenetic history, which directly controls porosity and permeability.
• Integrated Log-Based Sedimentology: We use our core-based understanding to create a robust calibration for well logs, enabling us to extrapolate our sedimentological interpretations away from core control.
• Reservoir Quality Assessment: We provide a direct link between depositional history, diagenesis, and the resulting reservoir quality, helping you understand the ‘why’ behind the distribution of porosity and permeability.

The Key Benefits We Deliver

By leveraging our sedimentology expertise, you gain a powerful advantage in all stages of your asset’s life cycle:

• Accurate Reservoir Models: Provide the data and geological understanding needed to build geologically realistic and predictive static models.
• Improved Reservoir Quality Prediction: Gain a detailed understanding of what controls porosity and permeability, leading to better-informed well placement decisions.
• Reduced Development Risk: Make more confident decisions on infill drilling and completion strategies based on a detailed, rock-level understanding of your reservoir.
• Validation of Interpretations: Use core data to ground-truth your seismic facies analysis, sequence stratigraphy, and petrophysical interpretations.
