Digital rock analysis
Accelerate field development with digital SCAL
Digital SCAL delivers accurate results faster than lab tests where physical measurements are not possible.
SureRock
Enhanced sidewall coring solution
Overview
Recover the unrecoverable.
Historically, sidewall coring in certain environments has been difficult to accomplish. Unconsolidated formations, hard and abrasive environments, and extreme overbalanced conditions each pose operational challenges—until now.
SureRock™ enhanced sidewall coring solution improves core recovery in reservoirs previously deemed impossible and revolutionizes how to analyze those cores when recovered to surface. Using advanced digital capabilities, all this data can then be integrated into your reservoir model to better understand your reservoir’s geology, accelerate your field development plan (FDP), and ultimately maximize your reservoir’s performance.
How Enhanced Sidewall Coring Improves Field Development
Be efficient. Be accurate. Be sure.
Applications
- Reducing subsurface uncertainty to optimize your FDP
- Understanding reservoir producibility to estimate reserves
- Improving well construction and completion design
- Calibrating logs
- Assessing containment for carbon sequestration
Benefits
Why SureRock solution? It sets a new coring benchmark.
Unconsolidated formations
Large sidewall coring in ultra-unconfined-compressive-strength formations, down to 200 psi, with improved rock integrity
Hard and abrasive environments
A new fit-for-abrasive-formation coring design to improve the cuttings evacuation and efficiency by 60%
Overbalanced conditions
Combination of state-of-the-art coring facility and AI simulations improve recovery in overbalanced wellbores by 40%
Digital SCAL and integration
Digital lab and automation to fast-track data delivery and integration into the reservoir model—reducing uncertainty and accelerating the FDP
Features
SureRock enhanced sidewall coring solution tool.
Reliable core samples
The large SureRock solution core samples provide comprehensive geomechanics. The rock sample, combined with digital special core analysis (SCAL) help reduce evaluation uncertainty, improve reservoir predictability, and enhance reservoir deliverability.
