CoreDB Import, view and manage from anywhere

The status quo •

Data is your company’s primary asset, and managing its integrity is critical. Information can become dispersed, and without strict adherence to data storage standards companies can lose time and money retrieving and harmonizing data, as well as risk losing it at any time. In addition any data modification brings risk, and to mitigate that risk it is key to keep track of where data is and how it was changed, and that is easier said than done. All of these issues prevent a company from making informed decisions in an efficient manner.

Techcore The ultimate solution for core data interpretation

Jointly developed by Techsia and Total, Techcore combines the strengths of both contributors; Techsia brought innovative software design and efficient development plus expertise in advanced statistical interpretation methods whilst Total brought to the project more than 15 years of detailed, rigorous knowledge and experience in handling core data.

Techcore incorporates robust and validated methods of data manipulation with new, state-of-the-art statistical techniques and provides this powerful combination within a fully interactive graphical user interface.

Storage, processing, integration and interpretation of core data •

Within an overall integrated reservoir characterization workflow now available with Techsia software, Techcore provides the means to rapidly and effectively synthesize and combine both log and core domains.

•

Techcore© combines robust method of data manipulation with state-of-the-art statistical techniques; it hence constitutes a powerful interpretation package using a fully interactive graphical user interface.

Benefits •

Perform specific processing tasks within one user environment, e.g. calculation of capillary functions (Thomeer, Buckley-Leverett, Lambda, Wright- WooddyJohnson and Hyperbolic Tangent methods), grain size, pore throat distributions, etc.

•

Partition the core data into “hydraulic units” (or “petrophyscial groups”) that reflect zones in which storage and transmissivity of fluids are likely to be similar. Techsia’s extensive experience in techniques of classification, correspondence analysis and exploratory statistical tools such as Principal Components Analysis is applied for this task.

•

Combine the maximum amount of data available to generate “petrophysical logs”, which are fully representative of the variation in core data upscaled by rigorous methods to be comparable to the scale of the wireline or MWD log data. The upscaling is performed by reference to either continuous core description data (possibly created by picking on core images) or to the most finely resolved quantitative measurements on the core (e.g. mini-K or core-gamma) by 1D Kriging interpolation (several external drifts are possible).

Ipsom The intelligent classifier

Advanced classification techniques •

Automatic facies identification is playing a key role within the oil and gas E&P industry. Ipsom is a unique classification method that brings added value to interpretation workflows. The 2D indexed and probabilised selforganizing map (Ipsom) is designed for use in : •

geological interpretation of well log data and facies prediction

•

optimal derivation of petrophysical parameters (!, k, hydraulic units...)

Comprehensive statistical tools •

During the final control and validation phase, results are quantified and refined through an iterative process. High quality statistical and graphic tools with total interactivity and great ease of use, lead to a better understanding of coherence between core description, log responses and consistency on the map.

4. Application of the map. Interactive Lines(pink) elicit the facies correspondence between logs and map.

Accurate model calibration •

The key to the classification process is calibration. The aim of calibration is to give each neural unit an actual geological meaning: this is known as the indexation phase. Each neural unit is assigned a code that corresponds to a geological interpretation (detailed core description). This stage is essential for a direct interpretation of electrofacies in sedimentological terms.

Logs spectral distribution

Benefits •

•

•

3. After indexation Result of Indexation. The colors refer to core- based facies definition assigned to the nodes by virtue of their depths and refined by means of the spectrum.

K.mod Objective reconstruction of missing data

Quantitative parameter modeling K.mod is designed to extract essential information from log data in order to: •

predict non-recorded parameters (!, K, ...),

•

reconstruct missing or poor quality measurements and therefore compensate for bad hole conditions, environmental effects, acquisition problems, etc,

•

bring solutions for scale shift management from core to reservoir scale,

•

potentially reduce the need for coring and plug analysis for the subsequent appraisal wells by comparing well log and core data.

Supervised Neural Networks •

Parameters can be reconstructed or modeled directly from log data, via an interactive learning process.

•

Multi-Layer Perceptron: a powerful non-linear modeling tool that retains all the original variability in the data.

Back propagation

Error control Learning phase Validation curve Learning curve

Fully quantified uncertainties K.mod is not a "black box" tool: the users keep full control of the input parameters and receive clear feedback on the log quality and model quality, at all times. Uncertainties can be managed: •

on inputs: back propagation method to check the contribution of each input,

•

on output: self-organized map is categorizing data samples in the training and validation data for their effectiveness in modeling the target data,

•

possibility to weight inputs to force the model to reach extreme values.

Interactive, easy-to-use and very fast •

K.mod is based on a complex technology but remains easy-to-use.

•

It is a straightforward but efficient tool that offers a simple and interpretation and a more accurate reservoir characterization.
