Technical paper in SEG's latest issue of Geophysics

Advanced imaging, rigorous physics, and high-speed computation combine to reveal reservoir properties of organic-rich shales.

(June, 2011) Joel D. Walls and Steven W. Sinclair report on a workflow for analysis of cores samples from two wells in a shale reservoir focused primarily on the relationship between porosity and permeability in the stratigraphic zone of interest.

(MAY, 2011) In the May issue of World Oil magazine, ADCO's Zubair Kalam and Taha Al Dayyani and Ingrain's Avrami Grader and Carl Sisk discuss how by using CT scanners and specialized image processing, a pilot project delivered accurate special ...

(May, 2011) Ingrain was featured in an article about digital rock physics in this month's Journal of Petroleum Technology.

(February 2011) HOUSTON–Much of the understanding about how shale reservoirs store and flow hydrocarbons has come from high resolution imaging of very small pores, especially within the shale’s kerogen component. Pioneering work by the University of Texas at Austin’s Bureau ...

(November, 2010) Growing knowledge about US shale plays and other unconventional resources suggests heterogeneity might be a more important factor than previously thought. Hart E&P Magazine, article by Jim Sledzik, Energy Ventures; Henrique Tono, Ingrain; and Douglas Gibson; Fotech Solutions.

    In a shale system, it is vital to know the relative permeability of oil and gas that is above the bubble point. Critical gas saturation matters to production engineers and reservoir engineers in planning for production and estimating ...
