Petrophysical laboratory measurements
- density, porosity, pore space parameters and gas permeability analysis;
- estimation of absolute permeability index;
- macro- and micro-fractures measurements in thin sections and cubics;
- petrographic investigations of polished thin sections-mineral composition, diagenetic processes, image analysis of pore distribution and pore space geometry.
Geochemical laboratory analysis:
- evaluation of maceral composition and vitrinite reflectance;
- Rock-Eval pyrolysis of cores and cuttings (determination of TOC); free hydrocarbons content, residual coal; hydrocarbons potential);
- elementary analysis of hydrocarbons and kerogene (calculation of C,H,N,S; H/C and O/C ratio);
- hemical and physicochemical investigations of natural gases;
- "Head space" and occluded gas investigations;
- investigations of rock extracts (Column Chromatography - SARA); GC and GC/MS of saturated and aromatic fractions •Biomarker Analysis ;
- investigations of oil (physical and chemical properties; GC analyses of crude oil; GC/MS analyses of saturated and aromatic fractions; correlation oil/oil and oil/source rock).
Reservoir and basin scale studies:
- Well log data interpretation (petrophysics, source rock evaluation, fractures)
- 3D structural, facies and petrophysical properties modeling with well and seismic data
- Development of geomechanical models
- Volumetric calculations for hydrocarbon reserves and resources, uncertainty modeling
- Petroleum Sedimentology: facies- and sequence stratigraphy analysis of cores, outcrops, well log and seismic data
- interpretation of sedimentary environments, sequence stratigraphy framework and depo-tectonic setting
- prediction of sand-body geometry, size, orientation and distribution at the basin scale
- 4D Petroleum systems modeling studies
- reconstruction of structural, thermal and properties evolution of sedimentary basins in geological time-scale
- prediction of generation and expulsion timing and yield
- prognosis of migration pathways and oil and gas accumulations
- resources assessment, uncertainty, ranking of exploration areas
- Multidisciplinary team of geologists, geophysicists, petrophysicists, sedimentologists, geochemists
- Integrated software platform: Petrel, PetroMod, Techlog, Interactive Petrophysics, ProGeo, Petrel Reservoir Geomechanics (Visage)
