Oil & Gas Exploration & Production

TerraNotes has researched and developed a number of technologies to:

    1. Cut drilling and seismic programs costs 
    2. Increasing the probability of successfully intersecting pay zone or engineering related targets 
    3. Identify early areas with unfavourable horizons that should not require further investigation


Expertise

Oil Sands Insitu (SAGD)


Our geoelectrical technologies are used in oil sands SAGD exploration and production to:
Map in 3-D variations between rich and lean McMurray Formation. Seismic Cannot.
Map water and steam interface. Map extent and integrity of steam chambers.
Map Pleistocene river channels within McMurray formation for sources of sand and gravel and water mapping

Advanced Magnetic & Gravity Imaging


Gravity methods of prospecting can be useful in exploration for pinchout and reef traps. A pinchout zone might produce a recognizable gravity anomaly as a result of the density contrast (1) between the porous sandstone and the adjacent beds or (2) between the water-saturated and oil-saturated parts of the sandstone section. 

Reefs also can produce gravity anomalies as a result of differences in density between the reef material and the laterally adjacent beds--whether these beds are salt, limestone, or shale. 

Where the reef is in shale, compaction of the shale in the area adjacent to and above the reef is an important factor. 

Magnetic methods are useful where basement structure is a factor in formation of stratigraphic traps. 

3D Structural Mapping

TerraNotes had researched and developed new technologies for mapping bedrock structure and depth to basement

Shallow Gas

3D mapping of porous fluvial sand and gravel sediments sealed within clay layers

Petroleum geology

  • To delineate:
  1. Petroleum generative depression
  2. Block sag
  3. Hollow zone
  4. Mobile geosynclinal trough
  5. Topographic depression
  • To map sedimentary depression and local structures related:
  1. Burial hill and anticlines of above formations
  2. Local structures in Paleogene formations
  3. Fault traps
  4. Formation overlapping and pinchout on uplift flank
  5. Flexure caused by deep faulting


We apply full processing, analysis, interpretation and mapping for 

Airborne, Land and Marine data.
