I. Reservoir Quality and Formation Damage Assessment
- Reservoir quality problems and treatments.
- Evaluation of formation damage:
- Clay Swelling
- Fines Migration
- Drilling Muds
- Frac Fluids
- Acid Sensitivity
- Water-rock Compatibilities.
- Design, co-ordination and evaluation of core studies.
- QC of core analysis data.
- Core description and sampling.
II. Reservoir Intelligence – Uncovering hidden “Cause and Effect” relationships.
- Development of Integrated Geological Data Sets.
- Understanding and prediction of the combined influence of geological, petrophysical, geophysical, completion, and production parameters on petroleum discoveries and reservoir behaviour.
- Surveillance of reservoirs under enhanced oil recovery and predicting injection responses.
- Modeling and predicting events during SAGD processes:
- Predicting intake temperature.
- Predicting pump failures.
- Predicting liner failures.
- Estimating fluid losses and production profiles.
- Verifying completion and workover processes.
