Building on the long experience and leadership of our comprehensive TerraTek rock mechanics and core analysis services for unconventional reservoirs, the following timely measurements can be fundamental in characterizing your reservoir. Unit price is per analysis
Essential Petrophysics Analysis
- Detailed petrophysical & geochemical core measurements
- Data cross-validation with standard petrophysical logs & models
- Accurate evaluation of reservoir rocks & fluids
Includes white light & ultra-violet photos, CT-Scan images, XRD mineralogy, TRA (tight rock analysis) including porosity, permeability, and saturations, and organics evaluation via LECO-TOC and Rock-Eval IV platforms. Turn-around time is approximately 3 weeks (est. for 50 cores).
Advanced Petrophysics Analysis
- Detailed petrophysical & geochemical core measurements
- Pore size analysis and petrographic evaluation and detailed description
- Data cross-validation with standard petrophysical logs & models
- Accurate evaluation of reservoir rocks & fluids
