General 2D or 3D seismic interpretation on paper sections or using interpretation software like Petrel, Kingdom, Landmark or OpendTect. Generation of well-ties through synthetic sections, seismic sequence stratigraphic correlation and well correlation, depth-conversion and seismic attribute mapping (AVO, neural net, inversion), 3D structural and facies models (Petrel)
Integrating all available information derived from seismic interpretation, well information, surface geology and regional knowledge, structural maps are generated at key surfaces in order to define hydrocarbon basins, location and depth of hydrocarbon source rocks and reservoirs. Ultimatly potential exploration drilling targets or additional well placement targets within existing fields can be identified.
Using key structural maps and resource fill levels the areal extend and rock volume containing the potential resource is estimated. Together with additional information on physical rock properties the available resources in place are estimated according to SPE PRMS standards.
A risk assessment applied to all aspects of the defined potential drilling targets together with potential producible volumes leads to a ranked list of wild cat leads, well defined prospects or lower risk extension or infill opportunities close to or within producing oil or gas fields or opportunities for geothermal energy extraction
All provided geological and geophysical data and interpretations, maps and volumetric estimates are assessed in order to create a second opinion or to address potential alternative or improved outcomes
The technical work conducted by Geologists and Geophysicists, the assumptions and methodologies used are assessed and recommendations given in order to improve on the applied techniques and knowledge base
Leading a team of experts all available information related to Oil, Gas, Condensate or Geothermal resources are assessed and the Net Present Value of a project, single asset or whole company is estimated For more information please consult the following web-page: www.LO-G.de
