The Discovery Group, Inc.

The Discovery Group provides a full range of geological and petrophysical consulting services, including:

Reservoir characterization

We produce detailed reservoir descriptions integrating geological, petrophysical, and engineering data to characterize every aspect of your producing formations.  We can custom tailor characterization projects for your use in reserve estimates, equity determinations, completion and stimulation planning, infill drilling programs, secondary or tertiary recovery projects, reservoir simulation studies, and exploration play analysis.
 

Field studies

We combine extensive experience in both exploration and development geology with state-of-the-art computer facilities and software to produce detailed cross-sections, structural and stratigraphic maps, and reservoir property maps.  We integrate the results of the reservoir geology and characterization work to estimate in-place hydrocarbons, evaluate reservoir compartmentalization, assess permeability anisotropy, examine infill drilling potential, and recommend optimal recovery strategies.
 

Petrophysics and log analysis

We offer complete petrophysical and well log analysis services, including the integration of open-hole and cased-hole logging data with core analyses and geologic core descriptions.  Our log analysis software is service company independent and we’re experts in the manipulation and analysis of large data sets with diverse log types.  We have the expertise to interpret the latest array resistivity, dipole sonic, and nuclear magnetic resonance tools and we’re on top of the latest developments in data acquisition and analysis.
 

Geologic and stratigraphic studies

We have conducted regional geologic and stratigraphic analyses in sedimentary basins throughout the Western Hemisphere, including both carbonate and siliciclastic sections from Precambrian to Tertiary age.  We are pioneers in techniques such as the use of digital rock descriptions to calibrate core data with wireline logs; digital methods to describe cuttings and sidewall cores; rock typing and rock catalogs.  We have the background in stratigraphy, carbonate sedimentology, clastic sedimentology, and basin analysis to tie all the data together and give you a coherent picture of your play or field.  We have the oilfield experience required to keep the work practical.  We focus our efforts on making you more money.
