Core Studies
Dravis Geological Services specializes in analyzing conventional
core for depositional facies and cyclicity and relating potential
reservoir units to an environmental setting and stratigraphic
position. In most projects, these observations are tied to wireline
logs and seismic data. When combined with thin section petrography,
reservoir quality can be precisely defined, including documentation
of pore types and their influence on the petrophysical characteristics
of the potential reservoir rock.
Core descriptions are presented in a graphical form using a program
called AppleCore
Cuttings Analysis
While conventional cores may not be available, much geological
information can be gleaned from the petrographic analysis of well
cuttings, especially when closely-spaced samples are examined
in thin section and related back to wireline logs.
This approach has been successfully used to delineate depositional
facies, regional physiographic setting, reservoir quality, and
diagenetic history in both limestone and dolomite sequences.
