Unconventional Reservoir Exploration
We carry out the identification and initial volumetric estimation of unconventional reservoirs, using geological and geophysical criteria to determine prospective hydrocarbon areas.
Areas are identified based on optimal geochemical, petrophysical, and geomechanical parameters for defining “sweet spots,” applying techniques for constructing and interpreting conventional seismic attributes and qualitative-quantitative seismic interpretation with rock physics models.
Capabilities
- We have teams of specialists and researchers experienced in the development, assimilation, and adaptation of hydrocarbon exploration technology, with national and international presence and recognition.
- We have laboratory equipment and specialized personnel for analyzing geochemical parameters of source rocks, supported by a geochemical database associated with these studies.
- Application of predictive techniques in qualitative-quantitative seismic interpretation and machine learning.
- Specialized petrophysical evaluations for characterizing the richness of source rocks.
Benefits for the client
- Reduce geological risks associated with conventional hydrocarbon exploration and production in deepwater fields.
- Increase hydrocarbon reserves by identifying prospective gas and oil zones in unconventional reservoirs and methane hydrates.
- Comprehensive solutions for assessing petroleum potential, adding reserves, and delineating reservoirs.
