Oil & Gas<\/strong> Exploration<\/h3>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n \n \n
\n

Quantec provides geophysical services to the Oil and Gas Sector. Our primary focus for non-seismic data acquisition is deep resistivity imaging technologies and potential field methods. Quantec carries out land based magnetometer and\n gravity surveys globally and our high quality direct current(DC) resistivity, induced polarisation (IP) and magnetotelluric (MT) resistivity surveys have proven useful as a compliment to seismic surveys in a variety of environments\n which can prove challenging for seismic alone.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Geology Beneath Permafrost<\/h5>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n \n \n
\n

Permafrost poses significant challenges to seismic surveys due to its complex and variable properties. Deep resistivity methods, including MT, can effectively penetrate permafrost layers, offering clear images of the underlying\n geology. This capability is crucial for identifying potential hydrocarbon reservoirs in Arctic regions.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Imaging Below Volcanic Boundaries<\/h5>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n \n \n
\n

Volcanic rocks often create high impedance boundaries that scatter seismic waves, complicating subsurface imaging. Resistivity surveys, particularly MT, are less affected by such conditions and can provide detailed images\n beneath volcanic cover, facilitating the identification of underlying structures and resources.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Lithology Beyond Acoustic Impedance<\/h5>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n \n \n
\n

Certain lithological variations may not significantly affect acoustic impedance, making them difficult to detect with seismic methods. Resistivity surveys can detect these changes by measuring variations in electrical properties,\n offering a complementary tool for comprehensive subsurface characterization.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Pore Fluid Identification<\/h5>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n \n \n
\n

The electrical resistivity of rocks is influenced by the type and saturation of pore fluids. Resistivity surveys can help differentiate between fluids such as oil, gas, and water, providing valuable information for reservoir\n evaluation and reducing exploration risks.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Data for Reservoir Modeling<\/h5>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Incorporating resistivity data into reservoir models enhances their accuracy. This independent dataset improves the reliability of geostatistical analyses and neural network models, leading to better predictions of reservoir\n properties and behavior.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Detecting Subtle Shale Changes<\/h5>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n \n \n
\n

Shale layers can exhibit subtle variations in hydrocarbon content that are challenging to detect with seismic methods alone. Resistivity surveys are sensitive to these variations, enabling more precise identification of hydrocarbon-rich\n zones within shale formations.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
