Carbonate fields
Producing oil and gas from carbonate reservoirs is a challenging task. Carbonate reservoirs have complex and heterogeneous geological and petrophysical characteristics. They are often naturally fractured, and exhibit complex porosity systems and wettability characteristics, which drastically influence their multi-phase flow properties.
Beicip-Franlab’s experienced geologists, sedimentologists, geophysicists, petrophysicists, reservoir and petroleum engineers use recognized and innovative tools from third parties as well as IFPEN methods specifically developed to handle carbonate reservoirs.
