Quantec Geoscience Ltd. services

As the heavy oil industry continues to gain momentum, Orion 3D’s high-resolution DCIP & MT (magnetotelluric) images of the subsurface maximise oil recovery and reduce steam requirements. By measuring the resistivity difference between water, bitumen and rock, Quantec can pinpoint the location of bitumen versus water. Orion 3D collects more data than any other geophysical survey in the world improving image detail and making Quantec’s inversions more precise. Plus, by integrating with all data sets Quantec creates comprehensive models, thereby increasing confidence in reservoir management for petroleum clients.

As oil and gas exploration moves beyond traditional areas, there are times when 3D seismic data collection can be unreliable: Identifying bitumen versus water in petroleum exploration for more energy-efficient heavy oil recovery, Targeting hydrocarbon-bearing-shale-formations in relation to shale gas exploration, Imaging the geology underneath permafrost and volcanic cover. Without the right technology, oil and gas exploration projects are even more expensive in these new destinations.
