Polish Geological Institute conducts tectonic and geodynamic studies of oil- and gas-bearing areas to obtain comprehensive genetic and spatial models.
The studies concern the following:
- Origin and architecture of structural traps
- Pore and fracture space of reservoir rocks
- Recent geodynamics of hydrocarbon deposits
WE OFFER
- Analysis of the origin and architecture of structural traps:
- Tectonic analysis of seismic profiles
- Meso- and microstructural analysis of drill cores
- Tectonic interpretation of dipmeter and acoustic scanner logs
- Studies of pore and fracture space in reservoir rocks:
- Determination of geodynamic constraints on diagenetic, mineralisation and dolomitisation processes
- Origin of fracture and fault systems and their spatial distribution
- Determination of hydraulic conductivity anisotropy in fractured reservoirs
- Studies of recent geodynamics of hydrocarbon fields include:
- Determination of present-day tectonic stress direction from wellbore breakouts and drill core fractures
- Determination of tectonic stress regime and stress magnitude from hydraulic fracturing tests, mechanical properties of rocks and the shape of wellbore breakouts
- The results of tectonic and geodynamic investigations are subject to INTEGRATION that enables:
- Determination of the orientation of tectonic structures, whose hydraulic conductivity is governed by the present-day tectonic stress field
- Determination of an optimal trajectory of a directional well to achieve the highest productivity and drilling stability
- Determination of propagation directions of induced hydraulic fractures
- Estimation of the stability of tectonic structures and borehole walls under varying reservoir pressure conditions
- Polish Geological Institute also performs regional tectonic studies including e.g. 2-D NUMERICAL MODELLING OF THE TECTONIC EVOLUTION OF SEDIMENTARY BASINS AND OROGENS.
