Smart alternative to conventional log interpretation (including QuantiMin, the mineral inversion tool) Unique tool for processing large amounts of data (data harmonization, editing, correction, normalization...)

Jointly developed by Techsia and Total, Techcore combines the strengths of both contributors; Techsia brought innovative software design and efficient developement plus expertise in advanced statistical interpretation methods whilst Total brought to the project 15 years of detailed, rigorous knowledge and experience in handling core data.

Techcore incorporates robust and validated methods of data manipulation with new, state-of-the-art statistical techniques and provides this powerful combination within a fully interactive graphical user interface.


The Techcore Solution: storage, processing, integration and interpretation of core data

Within an overall integrated reservoir characterization workflow now available with Techsia software, Techcore provides the means to rapidly and effectively to synthesize and combine both log and core domains.

Techcore includes a wide range of data processing and visualization capability within the ergonomic Techlog interactive, drag & drop user environment. Operating with an inherently multi-well project data model, the user can readily assimilate data from both the borehole and the laboratory into a single coherent interpretation. Data types from images to plug data to descriptions are combinable in 2D or 3D with log data (as vectors or arrays) using tools that retain sensitivity to scale of the measurements at all times.

Benefits

Perform specific processing tasks within one user environment, e.g. calculation of capillary functions (Thomeer, Buckley-Leverett, Lambda, Wright-Wooddy-Johnson and Hyperbolic Tangent methods), grain size, pore throat distributions, etc.,

Partition the core data into “hydraulic units” (or “petrophyscial groups”) that reflect zones in which storage and transmissivity of fluids are likely to be similar. Techsia’s extensive experience in techniques of classification, correspondence analysis and exploratory statistical tools such as Principal Components Analysis is applied for this task.

 

Combine the maximum amount of data available to generate “petrophysical logs”, which are fully representative of the variation in core data upscaled by rigorous methods to be comparable to the scale of the wireline or MWD log data. The upscaling is performed by reference to either continuous core description data (possibly created by picking on core images) or to the most finely resolved quantitative measurements on the core (e.g. mini-K or core-gamma) by 1D Kriging interpolation (several external drifts are possible).
