Technical Competencies

Structure & Tectonics

All petroleum basins have been affected by structural deformation of various styles and intensity. The formation, in-filling, deformation, architecture, and tectonic setting of sedimentary basins have significant bearings on the formation, migration, entrapment, and preservation of hydrocarbons. With the growth of unconventional hydrocarbon resources in tight reservoirs as well as geothermal systems, the importance of fracture analysis has been amplified.

3-D Visualization & Seismic Interpretation

VizLab is an immersive interpretation facility with full 3D stereo on a 14’ x 6’ screen with 288 GB RAM  and 12 CPUs. Managing, displaying and interactively interpreting extremely large, fully integrated (well and seismic) datasets from basin scale to detailed prospect and reservoir analysis is easily accomplished.

Biostratigraphy, Chrono & Sequence Stratigraphy

The foundation of EGI’s Biostratigraphy capability is based on the use and integration of Composite Standards and Graphic Correlation. Our worldwide paleo database developed over a span of 40 years, first by BP-Amoco and now by EGI biostratigraphers.

GIS & Image Analysis

GIS & Image Analysis

Geospatial data is crucial for success in exploration and development. EGI has the experience and expertise in geospatial data acquisition, data integration, geospatial database development, data analysis, and modeling to help you meet your exploration and development goals.

Chemostratigraphy

The images produced using the quantitative evaluation of minerals are realigned to produce a volumetric reconstruction of the analyzed area. Theses reconstructions are used to examine and quantify porosity and permeability. Better defined elemental composition leads to reduced risk and improved reservoir understanding.

Reservoir Geomechanics Unconventionals

Geomechanics

Geomechanics bridges classical geoscience and petroleum engineering by acknowledging that all facets of reservoir exploitation, from exploration through abandonment can be improved by
evaluating in-situ stresses and deformation and explicitly coupled fluid flow. The same applies to geothermal reservoirs. The sampling of services shown demonstrates potential applications of EGI’s geomechanical expertise – acknowledging the interdependency of geologic and engineering disciplines.
