Drilling through fault blocks

Including seismic of the faults

Fault block seismicMany pools are defined by fault blocks. When drilling horizontally through the faults, pressures can change and drainage areas improve. The pool boundaries become fuzzy and regulatory requirement become clouded. This applicant is groping for a regulatory way to keep his well producing despite the uncertainty of pool size. And he included his seismic showing the fault blocks. We found this through AppIntel.

Each AER application contains your neighbor's perspective on the exploitation of oil and gas formations. Applications contain more technical data even than SPE papers.
