Ingrain complements and vastly expands laboratory permeability data sets by numerically simulating fluid flow through a direct digital representation of a real pore space obtained by high-resolution 3D imaging.

Ingrain determines elastic moduli by simulating a static deformation experiment on a 3D digital rock sample.

Ingrain uses the finite element method (FEM) to solve the Laplace equation for the electric potential field inside a digital sample for a specified potential difference at the boundaries.

Ingrain uses proprietary image-processing algorithms for statistical analysis and image segmentation to determine porosity.

Relative permeability is the ratio of effective permeability of a particular fluid at a particular saturation to the absolute permeability of that fluid at total saturation.

The European Space Agency (ESA) recognised the advantages of the SGG and have continually supported the development of a satellite version of an SGG with Oxford Instruments. This report gives both numerical analysis and experimental results of work on the ESA SGG, as well as the design and analysis of the SGG we are proposing as an exploration tool.

Developed by Henning Hansen and Terje Wilberg of Ziebel , as well as G. Naldrett of FloDynamics and N. Meldrum of Sensornet, this paper discusses a patented intervention based DTS logging system that can be used to address reservoir management challenges faced in declining fields, complex well profiles and complex completion methodologies. It was initially prepared for presentation at the 2007 SPE/ICoTA Coiled Tubing and Well Intervention Conference and Exhibition, held in The Woodlands, Texas, March 20-21st, 2007.
