SOLINTEC | Leading Laboratory & Storage Facility for E&P in Brazil

SOLINTEC is now the largest private repository of oil well samples in Brazil SOLINTEC has recently completed a large operation, relocating approx. 22.300 boxes of cores, SWCs, cuttings, and fluid samples from numerous wells of fields from the Potiguar Basin. These samples, previously housed in Petrobras' warehouses in northeastern Brazil, have now found a new home in Solintec's state-of-the-art Storage Facility in Rio de Janeiro. This is one of a series of sample transfer operations executed over the past four years, resulting from Petrobras' production assets divestment process, with SOLINTEC as the trusted final destination. During the process, SOLINTEC has received well over 50.000 boxes of samples from dozens of mature oil and gas fields acquired by small and medium-sized Brazilian and international oil companies. The execution of the massive sample transfer projects was made possible only by substantial investments in expanding the company's storage capacities and infrastructure. As a result, SOLINTEC now boasts a total of four warehouses, with an overall capacity of over 125.000 standard sample containers, making it the country's second-largest repository of oil well samples, surpassed only by Petrobras. The new storage area, integrated with the existing modern laboratory infrastructure, sample management, and analytical services portfolios, further consolidates Solintec's position as Brazil's Leading Laboratory & Sample Storage Facility for petroleum geological services. #oilandgas #geoscience #wellsamples

SOLINTEC starts R&D project on pre-salt reservoirs in the Santos and Campos basins After several years of providing various specialized technical services in numerous R&D projects conducted by the most renowned Brazilian universities, SOLINTEC is pleased to announce the start of its first project financed by the O&G RD&I levy fund. With the support and partnership with PETRONAS Brazil, SOLINTEC designed and structured a stratigraphy, facies, and diagenesis characterization project in the pre-salt section of the Campos and Santos basins. This regional project is based on laboratory and digital analyses of cores, side well cores, and thin sections from key wells in the main producing fields and the integration with an extensive seismic and wells database from the selected basins. Executed by an experienced and diverse team of specialists covering various disciplines, such as stratigraphy, petrography, petrophysics, tectonics, geophysics, etc., the project will benefit from SOLINTEC's state-of-the-art laboratory, office, and IT infrastructure. Solintec is grateful for PETRONAS Brazil's trust and support in performing this project, and hopes to contribute to deepening the knowledge of the pre-salt play by disseminating the results in events, articles, etc. in the coming years. #presalt #reservoircharacterization #geoscience #oilandgas

PRE-SALT DIGITAL ROCK CATALOG   Access, describe, and study pre-salt cores and thin sections without requiring microscopes or physical access to samples, eliminating the time-consuming processes through ANP channels.   Digital data products are now available to purchase along with subscriptions to data visualization. This first phase of data release includes thin sections (3000+) and cores (1000+m) from 14 wells in the Santos Basin and comprises: • Linescan core images (white light + UV) • Quantified mineralogy from hyperspectral imaging for carbonates and clays Petrophysics with multi-element geochemistry from a Multi-Sensor Core Logger (MSCL) • Scan data files (bright field + polarization layers) from 3000+ thin sections obtained with a state-of-the-art Zeiss Axio Scan Z1 system.
