Reservoir Geology

The Cost-Effective Way To Understand The Production Behavior Of Your Reservoir

Understand Your Reservoir

Premier Corex reservoir geology solutions use mineralogical analysis (XRF, XRD), petrographic thin section analysis, nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (NMR), computed tomography (CT), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Our experts leverage these techniques to deliver unparalleled sedimentological descriptions, along with comprehensive insights into structural and fracture geometry

Key Results

  • Mineralogy from XRD and thin sections

  • Pore morphology from NMR and SEM

  • Permeability and porosity distributions from sedimentological descriptions

  • Fracture description and orientation from µ-CT and geomechanical analysis
