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.
The Pre-Salt reservoirs in Brazil are home to some of the world’s largest oil and gas reserves and one of the most exciting exploration frontiers. However, exceptional depths have caused significant challenges to de-risk locations for drilling exploration wells. The industry therefore needs to capitalize on any data that already exists from these reservoirs. Here, James Shreeve and Lucas Rocha Frascaroli from Geotek Limited and Félix Gonçalves from SOLINTEC | Leading Laboratory & Storage Facility for E&P in Brazil describe how digital core data forms a key part of the solution, providing a continuous dataset along cored intervals in addition to the traditional plug measurements. * sponsored content https://lnkd.in/evSGdksC #brazil #coredata #subsurface #technology
