Elemental analysis tool enhances logging accuracy

摘要

Predicting reserves and production estimates in complex reservoirs is becoming less challenging with new formation evaluation tools. Formation evaluation is critical to exploration and development. It allows the consideration of the basic questions on a new level: Does the reservoir contain hydrocarbons or water? Is there oil or gas? Can fluids move through the rock? What kind of rock is it? How much potential is there? Answers to these questions allow potential reserves to be identified, bolster the balance sheet, or determine and optimize production, ultimately leading to improved profitability. Analysis of elements from drilling cuttings is a key method of evaluating the formation to help clarify these questions.
