Enhanced Interwell Resolution Through Crosswell Imaging
The Schlumberger Deep Reading initiative helps you better understand your reservoir by using direct physical measurements of the interwell space. Crosswell electromagnetic imaging and crosswell seismic imaging take you beyond the confines of the near-wellbore volume to illuminate the wider reservoir volume for numerous applications:
- Reservoir characterization: higher resolution measurements of porosity, lithology, and resistivity within an expanded scope of fluid identification, structure determination, and detection of bypassed pay
- Fluid front monitoring: water, steam, and gas injection, CO2 sequestration, and permanent monitoring of production and injection.
Crosswell seismic imaging of reservoir layers delivers up to 100 times the resolution of surface seismic data by placing both the receivers and source in adjacent wells and imaging the interwell volume.
Crosswell electromagnetic imaging expands the scale of resistivity logging from the near-wellbore environment to reservoir monitoring, directly measuring formation resistivity in wells up to 1,000 m apart.
