Exploration of mature fields often poses a challenge for mining companies, as the most accessible reserves have already been extracted. One such company approached Buderim Geoscience, seeking a solution to unlock the remaining potential in their mature field.
Our team of geoscience experts took on the challenge, recognizing the value of advanced imaging and interpretation techniques. We initiated a comprehensive data integration process, utilizing the latest software and tools to analyze and interpret the available data, including seismic, well, and production data.
Our expertise in seismic interpretation allowed us to unlock hidden insights into the geological structures of the field. We used advanced imaging techniques to generate high-resolution subsurface images, allowing a clear view of the field’s complex geology. With a thorough understanding of the geological characteristics, we proceeded to perform depth conversion, well integration, and well planning to refine our interpretation further.
The final step involved quantitative interpretation, where we used our expertise to generate a detailed understanding of the reservoir’s characteristics and properties. This allowed us to identify potential areas of untapped reserves, which were previously overlooked due to their subtle geological features.
The results were remarkable. Our advanced imaging and interpretation techniques helped uncover a 40% increase in reserves and a 25% increase in production, allowing the mining company to extract previously inaccessible reserves and extend the life of the field.
This case study serves as a testament to Buderim Geoscience’s commitment to leveraging advanced technology and expertise to add significant value to our clients’ projects.
