Visual Records of the Borehole Wall
Borehole image logs provide high‑resolution, continuous visual records of the borehole wall, allowing far more detailed geological characterisation than conventional wireline curves alone.
Borehole image logs also enable precise identification of small‑scale features and textures, improving structural, sedimentological, and petrophysical interpretations.
By combining advanced image processing with expert structural and sedimentological analysis, borehole image studies deliver a level of subsurface insight that bridges the gap between core‑scale observations and log‑scale trends.
This integrated approach enhances reservoir characterisation, strengthens geological models, and provides confidence in intervals where core is limited or absent.
Borehole Image Services Include
Borehole Image Processing
Borehole image processing converts raw multi‑sensor measurements into calibrated, quality‑checked, orientation‑referenced images.
It applies corrections, depth matching, noise reduction and standardisation to ensure reliable inputs for structural, sedimentological and petrophysical interpretation.
Sedimentological Analysis
Sedimentological borehole image analysis restores bedding to depositional orientation and maps sedimentary architecture and structures.
It integrates image attributes with logs, cuttings and core to define facies, depositional processes and features that influence reservoir quality.
Structural Analysis
Structural borehole image analysis maps and quantifies fractures and related geological features to characterise deformation and in‑situ stresses.
It integrates these measurements with sedimentological and petrophysical data to build robust structural frameworks.
Core and Borehole Image Comparisons
Borehole image interpretations can be integrated with core‑logging observations to extend detailed sedimentological and structural insights beyond cored intervals.
This allows the understanding gained from core to be applied confidently to adjacent sections where no core is available.
