Integrated Reservoir Understanding — From Core to Model.png

Integrated Reservoir Understanding — From Core to Model

Transform core, log, petrographic, HPMI/MICP and reservoir data into a clear, defensible reservoir framework for static modelling, petrophysics and simulation-ready decisions.

We combine reservoir geoscience, core description, rock typing, pore-system analysis and model calibration to help operators understand reservoir architecture, quality, connectivity, saturation and flow behaviour.

👉 Let's Discuss Your Dataset

Reservoir models are only as reliable as the evidence behind them.

Reservoir teams often work with strong datasets but disconnected interpretations. Core descriptions, petrography, logs, BHI, CT scans, RCA, SCAL and HPMI/MICP data may each answer part of the problem, but the value comes when they are integrated into one reservoir understanding.

Uncertain architecture

 

 

​Facies, stratigraphy and connectivity are not always captured clearly in the static model.

 

Weak property prediction

​Porosity, permeability and saturation may rely on generic transforms rather than reservoir-specific calibration.

 

Limited simulation confidence

Pc, Kr and saturation assumptions may not fully reflect the measured pore-system behaviour.

 

Two specialist service streams. One integrated reservoir framework.

From evidence to model-ready decisions

Step 1 — Data review & project framing

Review available core, RCA, SCAL, HPMI/MICP, petrography, logs, BHI, CT, pressure data and existing models

Step 2 — Geological and pore-system interpretation

Define facies, depositional elements, rock types, pore systems, fractures, cements, clay content and reservoir quality controls.

Step 3 — Core-log and property calibration

Connect measured core and pore-system data to logs, permeability transforms, hydraulic rock types and saturation-height behaviour.

Step 4 — Reservoir architecture and model rules

Translate interpretation into static model rules, facies distributions, property trends, connectivity concepts and uncertainty cases.

Step 5 — Dynamic and simulation-facing outputs

Where data support it, generate saturation functions, Pc tables, Kr screening, SCAL QC and simulation-ready inputs.
