Abstract: Formation MicroImager(TM) for Calibration and Complete Utilization of 3-D
Seismic
in Exploitation
James H. Painter, George A. Pena
ABSTRACT
The Formation MicroImagerTM is a very affordable and easily interpreted open hole logging tool that enhances and completes 3-D seismic
interpretation
.
Applications and utilizations incorporate geological, geophysical, and petrophysical parameters.
Geological utilizations are: dip data
, orientation of sand bodies, current direction at time of deposition, and a 'whole core' view of the borehole. Geophysical applications are:
interpretation
of faults below the
seismic
data
resolution and calibration of the interpreted time-mapped structure. Petrophysical
interpretation
uses are: thin bed resolution, sidewall core to open hole log calibration, geologic view of the 'rock' to the petrophysical interpreter, more accurate net pay counts, ability to recognize grain size changes, and corrected resistivity. Examples of the many applications of the Formation MicroImagerTM in conjunction with 3-D
seismic
in field exploitation are used to illustrate the aforementioned areas of utilization.
