Pore-to-log upscaling

Upscale core analysis data to the best of its potential

Laboratory analyses are traditionally run independent from one another and are often not integrated with the petrophysical modeling early in the development of a field. As the easy hydrocarbons have been found, improved integration among lab measures and logs is required to improve certainty in production forecasts. Ingrain brings over a decade of expertise in upscaling laboratory measures and digital rock volumes to logs.

Features

• Classical petrophysical rock typing with capillary pressure (Pc) data and FZIs
• Depositional environment (i.e., texture-based) rock typing with Pc and FZIs
• Genetic rock type (GRT) upscaling that includes core descriptions, thin sections, and Pc
• Thin section imaging and data modeling for GRT
• Chemofacies-based upscaling for mudrocks, using machine learning
• Upscaling of cuttings properties
• Multi-scale imaging from core-to-pore scale
• Digital capillary pressure simulation and validation
• Upscaling from pore to core, and then to image log 

Benefits

• Propagating petrophysical properties and realizing thin section interpretations to bore hole without core
• Upscaling mineralogy, alteration events, and petrophysical properties in complex reservoirs
• Generating diagenesis logs, cement type logs, and pore type logs
• Optimizing upscaling for pre- and post-salt reservoirs
• Optimizing upscaling for mature fields; enhanced oil recovery (EOR); and carbon capture, use, and sequestration (CCUS)
• De-risking low-resistivity pay production potential
• Confidently upscaling in mudrocks, and picking better landing zones
• Upscaling thin section interpretations to bore hole
• Mapping alteration events between wells
