FORMATION PROPERTIES
Schlumberger's high-resolution borehole
geophysical technologies measure continuous
physical properties that can be used to delineate
lithology, and define stratigraphic correlations,
which can be used to incorporate detailed
heterogeneity in conceptual modeling.
Elemental concentrations
Mineralogy
Lithology
Groundwater salinity
NAPL saturation
Potential arsenic bearing units
Discrete depth pore fluid samples
GEOMECHANICAL PROPERTIES
In-situ stress can be estimated from
measurements of borehole breakout, induced
drilling fractures and minifrac testing.
Geomechanical properties can also be
calculated using acoustic and density wireline
techniques. These data are used for assessing
and predicting regional and local stresses
pertinent to the design of underground
engineered structures and predicting
subsidence/deformation due to groundwater
pumping/injection.
