Information derived from Petrographic Analysis

  • Environment of Deposition:  Detailed knowledge of the depositional environment enables us to predict the size, shape, trend and compartmentalization of the reservoir body. This information aids in defining depositional controls on the spatial distribution of good quality rock

  • Formation Producibility:  Detailed examination of the pore system allows for identification of porosity, porosity types and prediction of permeability. In addition, factors affecting log response are identified. This allows for a better recognition of the productive potential of various zones of interest  

  • Formation Sensitivity: Knowledge of the mineralogy of the samples allows for the recognition or prediction of potential formation damage mechanisms. This information helps in the evaluation of performance issues related to existing wells or to the design of optimum drilling, completion and stimulation techniques to maximize well performance

  • Rock Typing: By defining pore geometrical attributes through image analysis techniques, rock/log models can be developed for a more accurate prediction of reservoir quality  and petrophysical characteristics from wireline log data

  • Quality of Reservoir Seal: The capillary entry pressure can be evaluated from cuttings/percussion sidewall cores, allowing for prediction of the maximum accumulation of hydrocarbons in the reservoir (seal capacity)
