Geologic and Petrophysical Applications

 

Borehole Image Analysis

  • Identification of structural and sedimentological features on image logs
  • Identification of drilling-induced fractures and borehole breakouts
  • Determine orientation of planar features such as bedding planes and fractures

Structural Analysis of Dip Meter or Image Logs

  • Determine mean strike and dip of bedding and fracture sets
  • Analyze vertical and lateral changes in orientation to evaluate geologic structure and sedimentology
  • Spherical statistics using Fisher analysis
  • Terzaghi analysis to account for directional biasing in vertical wellbore

Formation Evaluation

  • Determination of porosity, water saturation, and shale volumes
  • Clay type estimation based on spectral gamma log

Cement & Casing Evaluation

  • Analysis of acoustic amplitude to determine the effectiveness of cement bond
  • Optical televiewer analysis to identify casing defects
  • Acoustic imaging to evaluate casing integrity and travel time analysis to provide high-resolution images of casing deformation

Acoustic Analysis

  • Determine compressional, shear, or Stoneley wave velocities
  • Compute amplitude and attenuation of waveform energy to evaluate fractured zones and infer permeability

Geomechanical Analysis

  • Evaluate in-situ stresses using borehole breakout analysis
  • Determine mechanical rock properties such as Poisson's Ratio, Young's Modulus, Bulk Modulus, and Shear Modulus

Subsurface Mapping

  • Three-dimensional modeling of petrophysical parameters
  • Shaded relief isopach and isochore maps
  • Sand-shale distribution maps
  • Stratigraphic correlation
  • Fence diagrams and cross sections
