Basin Analysis and De-risking
Basin analysis – What is possible and what is probable?
Assessing mechanical seal breach and fault leakage.
Pressure and it’s affect on the interpretation of lithology and fluids.
Using geological models and analogues to reduce uncertainty in drilling.
Quantifying the effects of secondary overpressure mechanisms.

Well Planning
Interpretation of pore pressure, fracture pressure and borehole stability from drilling data, logs and seismic, both pre-drill and in real time.

Post Mortem and Real Time Monitoring
Pore pressure, fracture gradient and geomechanical
interpretation based on drilling, log and seismic data.
Peer-review of existing profiles or new independent
interpretation.
Geologix’s GEO software provides a web-based dashboard to monitor the progress of your well in real time, with data streamed from the rig via our innovative cloud server, WellXP, viewable on any device from anywhere at any time.
Clients can monitor and collaborate on live drilling activities and review log analysis and reports published by our geopressure experts.

Appraisal Well Drilling
Overpressure mapping to understand reservoir connectivity.
Identification of fluid distributions as controlled by static or hydrodynamic spill points.
Solve Crucial Well Path Issues.
Field Production & Development
Overburden management for development drilling.
Predicting sweet spot location in geopressured resource plays.
Example of how a hydrodynamically-controlled spill point affects fluid distributions (O’Connor, S., A., Rasmussen, H., Swarbrick, R., E. and Wood, J. 2011).
