Formation Evaluation

Petroleum Core, Geological and Geomechanical Formation Evaluation Services.

Oilfield Geological Formation Evaluation Services:
Intertek geologists, chemists, petroleum and reservoir engineers help clients understand geological and petroleum core characteristics for exploration and production projects. Formation expertise ranges from unconsolidated sands to fractured carbonates, heavy oil to condensate reservoirs. The experienced staff applies experimental, theoretical and computational models of rock and soil properties to in-situ problems.

Experienced multi-disciplinary staff address a broad range of geological and engineering questions including:

 

Core Analysis:

  • Routine Core Anlaysis
  • Wellsite Handling of conventional cores
  • Core Invasion Studies
  • Computed Tomography (CT) scanning and analysis of whole core
  • Basic Petrophysical Analysis (permeability, porosity, residual fluid saturation
  • Core Slabbing and Photography
  • Unconventional Gas Studies (CBM and Gas Shales)

Special Core Analysis SCAL:

  • Special Core Analysis Services
  • Capillary Pressure
  • Proprietary Ultracentrifuge Technology
  • Porous Plate
  • MIC
  • Wettability
  • Relative Permeability
  • Reservoir Production Mechanisms
  • Reservoir Condition Measurements
  • Improved Oil Recovery
  • Geophysical properties of rocks (electrical, acoustic, NMR, etc.)
Geological Studies:
  • Sedimentological and Petrological studies
  • Thin Section, SEM and XRD Analysis
  • Analysis of log data including core to log correlation
  • Low Resistivity Pay Evaluation
