EM in Exploration
Groundbreaking developments in electromagnetic (EM) technology over recent years and subsequent use in offshore hydrocarbon exploration have already shown encouraging results in detecting hydrocarbon reserves in potential reservoirs prior to drilling wells. The concept is proven by the drilling of numerous discoveries. The implications are that EM data have the potential to raise detection rates by as much as 50%, or even more. As such, EM heralds a new epoch for the oil and gas industry, with great potential as this new technology is being exploited. Rocksource is the first resource company to base operations on exploiting EM as a key competitive edge. To do so, we have developed our own proprietary system.
Although EM technology is already deemed a success, the petroleum industry and research institutions still face the task of designing data interoperability with other data types in order to fully exploit reserves detected by remote resistivity surveys. This includes integrating EM data with seismic and well data as well as adopting a sound geological approach. Geoscientists will be invited to participate in the establishment of a new and highly advanced integrated work flow where EM data are incorporated into the analyses. Rocksource has access to state-of-the-art technical solutions to boost an advanced integrated policy.
