Integrated Reservoir Solutions Division of Core Lab offers this program to aid in the enhancement of well performance in tight gas sand reservoirs. This is a complete evaluation package that is comprised of several components. Analysis are optimally performed on conventional cores but rotary sidewall cores or cuttings may used or a combination of both.

Phase One - Geological Evaluation
Define the rock parameters controlling response to stimulation. Identify rock types with similar parameters for study of production performance. Match rock types with log response.

Phase Two - Core and Fluid
Testing for Engineering and Log Calibration Provides the operator with a set of measured rock properties data appropriate for the rock types identified in phase one. Establish a relationship between saturation and effective gas permeability; especially during the fracture fluid leak off or condensate drop out with pressure change. Provide geomechanical properties for fracture design and log calibration.

Phase Three - Fracture Design
Recommend a stimulation treatment design that utilizes all available laboratory, field and calibrated log information to optimize reservoir productivity.

Phase Four - Production Simulation
Prepare an estimate of expected production from stimulation treatment based upon reservoir properties and fracture geometry and conductivity.

Phase Five - Completion Audit
Includes an overall evaluation of completion effectiveness with respect to fluid and proppant placement, completion fluid flowback efficiency, and zonal production contribution.
