Pore Pressure Prediction

Information about the depth and lateral extension of the abnormally high pore pressure can greatly reduce the risks, time and cost of drilling. The PetroTrace team has all the necessary tools and expertise to carry out PPP studies through integration of information from well data and high-resolution interval velocity arrays obtained at the stage of seismic processing. Petrotrace Global project deliverables give to geologists, drilling engineers and managers the predicted pore pressure volume distributions on which they can build pressure profiles for the planned wells and pressure maps for target horizons.

Gas Chimney Detection

The accurate location of gas chimneys is critical for oil companies to reduce risks when evaluating the oil and gas prospects. Gas chimney presence and nature can also serve as an additional criterion in deciding on the faulting permeability, cap rock integrity and hydrocarbon pathways. PetroTrace specialists use attribute analysis and volume-based interpretation of the amplitude friendly processing to effectively locate gas chimneys detectable in seismic.  Enquire about this service >>

Fracture Characterisation

Fractures play an important role in most carbonate and unconventional reservoirs. PetroTrace professionals predict fracture clusters by integrating geometrical attributes and anisotropic parameters extracted from the full azimuth depth migrated gathers (Earth Study 360 technology). Seismic data attributes such as anisotropy magnitude and azimuth carry information about the fracture density and orientation. Enquire about this service >>
