Abstract

Summary

In this article a workflow to predict membrane seal capacity and maximum hydrocarbon column potential is applied in two exploratory wells in a new basin. The aim is to prove that the results from the workflow are in the range of the results obtained from laboratory MICP measurements. In addition to the workflow validation, the second objective is to present a regional database built over several years to help refine the hydrocarbon column prediction in new prospects and analog seals.
