Boreholes

Syntillica offers a wide selection of services.  

Borehole studies are fundamental to understanding many of the fine details of a reservoir and its surrounding formations.   The term "borehole imaging" refers to those logging and data-processing methods that are used to produce centimetre-scale images of the borehole wall and the rocks that make it up. The context is, therefore, that of open hole, but some of the tools are closely related to their cased-hole equivalents. 

Borehole imaging has been one of the most rapidly advancing technologies in wireline well logging. The applications range from detailed reservoir description through reservoir performance to enhanced hydrocarbon recovery. Specific applications are fracture identification, analysis of small-scale sedimentological features, evaluation of net pay in thinly bedded formations, and the identification of breakouts (irregularities in the borehole wall that are aligned with the minimum horizontal stress and appear where stresses around the wellbore exceed the compressive strength of the rock).

There isn't enough time to list everything that we do so if you can't find what you are looking for from the Services menu please contact the team and we'll be happy to respond to your request.
