- Speed Corrections
- Image normalisation and enhancement
Data collection
- Geological assessment of BHI data by specialist sedimentologists and structural geologists
- Manual dip picking
- Identification and classification of image facies
- Differentiation of structural features and sedimentological surfaces
- Calibration with core data
- Structural dip evaluation and zonation
Structural interpretation
- Categorisation of structural features and understanding their impact on reservoir architecture
- Fracture and fault classification
- Identification of borehole breakouts and induced fractures
- In situ stress analysis
Sedimentological interpretation
