Structural analysis
Badley Ashton is a trusted global player in the structural characterisation of reservoirs, with experience in all environments.
Our structural geologists pride themselves in delivering to our clients the highest quality of interpretative and reservoir-oriented structural characterisations.
By applying a range of techniques at various scales, our structural products are fully integrated within multidisciplinary reservoir characterisation studies:
Structural core description
- Classification and documentation of structural features and their impact on reservoir properties
- Core reorientation and curation
- Interpretative fracture analysis
- Core goniometry
- Fracture distribution and density
- Fault and fracture architecture and history
- Integration with BHI and sedimentological data
- Impact on reservoir properties
Structural interpretation of BHI data
- Structural and in situ stress analysis
- Manual picking of natural and induced fractures
- Fracture distribution and density
- Fracture architecture and history
- Fault seal analysis
- In situ stress analysis
- Integration with core data
Fracture-fill analysis
- Definition of nature and chronology of fills and cements
- Evaluation of timing and temperature of fluid charge
- Identification of origin and nature of precipitating fluids
Multidisciplinary and multi-scale integration
- Lithological and stratigraphical controls on fracture distribution
- Impact of structural heterogeneity on reservoir properties at all scales
- Identification and characterisation of seals and conduits
- Integration within large-scale framework (seismic data, outcrop analogues)
