Reservoir Characterization

Since 2014 we have delivered complex characterization studies in unconventional and conventional plays across North America and worldwide. Our knowledge library is built from multidisciplinary studies combined with data acquisition and integration.

Geological and geophysical interpretation

Basin and regional studies; interpretation and mapping of conventional and unconventional reservoirs; depositional environments; facies description and distribution.

Petrophysical modeling and evaluation

Borehole data interpretation, petrophysical modeling and formation evaluation, areal cross-correlation, and reserves estimation support.

3D geological modeling

Sophisticated 3D geological modelling, basin modelling, and discrete and continuous fracture network modeling.

Seismic attribute analysis

Seismic attribute analysis and interpretation, fracture network interpretation, seismic facies, and seismically derived reservoir properties.

Geomechanics and pore-pressure prediction

Geomechanical property estimation from borehole and seismic data, pre-drill risk assessment, and property modeling for stimulation optimization workflows.

Data auditing

Evaluation and auditing of geological, geophysical, and petrophysical models so decisions rest on consistent, quality-controlled inputs.
