ICDMS: Integrated Core Data Modelling System
ICDMS allows for excellent quality checking of commercial laboratory data and subsequent superior modelling of rock types using a modified Hydraulic Flow Zone Unit approach and novel formulations for the prediction of SCAL relationships. Use of the advanced System leads to more informed and better development decisions of petroleum accumulation discoveries. Substantial cost savings are realized from reduced requirements for lab data acquisition. A real game changer is the significant reduction in analysis time due to the intelligent nature of the software.
The software has been designed to quality check routine (RCA) and special (SCAL) laboratory core analysis data. The validated and, when appropriate, corrected data is integrated into a framework of “endpoint” correlations, facilitating prediction to fill data gaps. All necessary core and related data are subsequently prepared for reservoir and petrophysical engineering calculations, and reservoir simulation. SCAL relationships are predicted with universal models for all Hydraulic Flow Zone Units (HFZUs) identified, where the layering also defines optimal formation subdivision for gridding of reservoir simulation models in the bed normal/vertical direction, replacing customary upscaling, now not required.
