Ingrain Digital Rock Lab
December 2009
Ingrain Rock Physics Science Advisor Dr. Jack
Dvorkin discusses the benefits of using digital rock physics to
determine permeability in the latest issue of The Leading Edge
Houston (December, 2009) -- Trying to determine permeabilities and
elastic properties with conventional, physical lab experiments can not
only be lengthy and expensive, but hard to conduct given the type of
rock material available. In the article From Micro to Reservoir Scale: Permeability from Digital Experiments,
Rock Physics Science Advisor Jack Dvorkin explains how digital rock
physics can reliably address these challenges, thereby enhancing data obtained from
physical laboratories and reducing the number of complicated and costly measurements being used today.
The article is featured in part of a special section in this month's issue entitled Reservoir Modeling Constrained by Seismic.
The Leading Edge compliments Geophysics SEG’s
peer-reviewed publication, long unrivaled as the world's most respected vehicle for dissemination of developments in
exploration and development geophysics. TLE is a gateway publication, introducing
new geophysical theory, instrumentation, and established practices to scientists in a wide range of geoscience disciplines.
Most material is presented in a semitechnical manner that minimizes mathematical theory and emphasizes practical applications.
TLE also serves as SEG’s publication venue for official society business. For more information, visit http://www.segdl.org/tle.
Houston (Dec 2009) Ingrain will be the Platinum Sponsor at the 2010 Annual HGS Applied Geoscience Conference taking place February 8 & 9, 2010. Attendees of the conference, which is being sponsored by the Houston Geological Society, can expect to interact and learn applied techniques from knowledgeable unconventional reservoir characterization specialists on reservoir and system characterization for Gulf Coast region shale gas/oil reservoirs and learn about reservoir characterization advances of multiple targets, including the Haynesville / Bossier System.
