Challenge: Understand the distribution of natural fractures across the wellbore for guiding the completion design.
Solution:
- Simultaneously deploy the Sonic Scanner acoustic scanning platform to acquire sonic imaging data and Quanta Geo photorealistic reservoir geology service to acquire microresistivity imaging data.
- Employ 3D far-field sonic service to process both datasets to generate a high-resolution 3D representation of formation features at the wellbore and in the near- and far-field reservoir.
Results:
- Mapped location and orientation of natural fractures extending up to 40 ft [15 m] around the wellbore.
- Revealed and mapped fractures, bedding, and other formation features that do not intersect the wellbore.
