ADVANCED CORE ANALYSIS

 

It is necessary to complete advanced core analysis, at least ones for every oil/gas field where Sigor Corporation has not provided well services yet in order to deliver best results.

To manage and control process of changing the permeability of a rock mass, such process must be recreated several times in rock mechanical laboratory. The core sample will be placed in the chamber where formation conditions are created. The extreme stress is applied to core sample to model explosion. Critical data is collected and used to determine capacity of the given formation to dilate and to calculate possible increase in the well productivity.

Extensive studies of the reservoir rock including its mechanical characteristics will allow standardizing the rock’s responsiveness to dilatancy under dynamic stress. Even thou SWTorpedo Tool will have to be adjusted to every single well, we would call such service Standard and substantially lower cost of future services will be past to a client.

 

Following analysis will complete the rock studies:

 

·     Hydraulic observation.

·     Determine the rock static properties (Young’s Modulus and Poisson’s Ratio) and compressive strength under uniaxial and triaxial conditions.

·     Determine sonic velocities, unstressed (uniaxial) condition and stressed (triaxial) condition with Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio calculations.

·     Determine the changes in rock permeability after dynamic loading for rock specimens in regime of laminar hydraulic flow according to Darcy’s law using a liquid with low viscosity.

·     Determine the general regularities of rock behavior as dilatant media, in accordance with Sigor Corporation proprietary information.

·     Investigate elastic and dilatant rock’s characteristics and its dependence on its natural properties such as porosity and permeability under triaxial dynamic stress, by imitating geological conditions of the formation at the productive interval and applying non-uniform dynamic stress, in accordance with Sigor Corporation proprietary information.

·     Ascertainment of the relationship between rock properties (porosity, strength, permeability and so on) in the state of dilatant deconsolidation, in accordance with Sigor Corporation proprietary information.
