WHAT IS WELL-LOG SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHY?
Well-log Sequence Stratigraphic analysis is a methodology that permits a geologist and geophysicist to subdivide a stratigraphic section into a series of time related 3rd Order Depositional Sequences and Systems Tracts. This is accomplished by the integration of High Resolution Biostratigraphic analysis, marker species, abundance and diversity histograms, paleobathymetry and paleoenvironment correlated with well log signatures. Wells with Well-Log Sequence Stratigraphic analysis can be correlated by MICRO-STRAT INC. to 2-D and 3-D seismic.
APPLICATIONS OF WELL-LOG SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHY
Establish reference wells with Sequence Boundaries, Maximum Flooding Surfaces and Systems Tracts that can be age-dated (Ma) and correlated with the Global Cycle Chart. Determine timing of faults, unconformities, canyon development, salt intrusion, reef development, migration, maturation and seals for hydrocarbons. Graphic correlation plots; help recognize the sequence boundaries and maximum flooding surfaces. Prediction of ages and surfaces ahead of the drill bit.
WELL-LOG SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHY WILL HELP YOU TO:
Identify the 3rd Order Depositional Sequences and Systems Tracts that are associated with the potential hydrocarbon reservoirs, source rocks and seals. Determine the play concepts for the reservoir section, coastal belt sands, shingled turbidites sands, sheet sands, and channel overbank sands (parallel to strike): incised valley fill sands and slope fan channel sands, (perpendicular to strike) and basin floor fan sands that form pancake shaped reservoir. Predict the geometry, continuity and distribution of the reservoir sands both vertically and laterally.
