Reservoir Evaluation
Analyzing Reservoir Potential For Maximized Output
Reservoir Evaluation
Belloy Petroleum Consulting provides comprehensive reservoir evaluation services to optimize well performance and maximizehydrocarbon recovery. Our team combines geological expertise with advanced data analysis to deliver precise insights into reservoircharacteristics, helping clients make informed drilling and production decisions.
Key Reservoir Evaluation Services
- Formation Characterization – A detailed analysis of lithology, porosity, permeability, and fluid content is conducted to assess reservoir quality. This process lays the foundation for accurate Reservoir Evaluation, ensuring that all key factors are thoroughly understood.
- Petrophysical Interpretation – By integrating well log data, core samples, and seismic data, we provide accurate reservoir modeling. As a result, this comprehensive approach enhances our ability to predict reservoir behavior and optimize performance.
- Reservoir Mapping & Modeling – Through high-resolution subsurface mapping, we identify structural and stratigraphic trends, which are essential for making informed decisions in reservoir development.
- Production Optimization – By evaluating reservoir behavior, we enhance production strategies and maximize recovery. Consequently, our methods ensure that clients can achieve the highest possible return on investment.

Grain Size Analysis
Belloy geologists do high-resolution grain size analysis on-site or after drilling, using 100 grain counts per sample.
They show a distribution for each sample, including the average, standard deviation, variance, and variance coefficient. A clear photograph and raw measurements are also provided.

All data is plotted both per sample and for each horizontal leg displaying the grain size distribution along the entire length of the wellbore. Sieve analysis reports have been directly compared to the high resolution photographic grain size work and results are extremely accurate.

This new technology allows for faster acquisition, enables higher frequency (increased resolution), and provides results shortly after the well reaches total depth, all at a fraction of the cost.
Geochemical Solutions
Belloy Petroleum Consulting provides fast turnaround elemental, mineralogical, magnetics, and TOC data in the lab, in the corestore, or at the wellsite. This data is crucial for geosteering, correlation, reservoir quality assessment, and completion optimization. Furthermore, our team operates the latest hydrocarbon detection and analysis tools, including Isotubes, Isojars, Chromat, XRF, XRD, and TOC, ensuring precise data collection and evaluation.
In addition, our Calgary wellsite geologists conduct petrographic Reservoir Evaluation studies, analyzing core samples and cuttings. By using digital photography through the microscope, we capture high-resolution features and accurate measurements of drill cuttings. As a result, this advanced technology enhances our ability to provide reliable, real-time data for better decision-making. Moreover, we offer portable and wellsite shale solutions, ensuring flexibility and efficiency in our services.
Conventional Reservoir Evaluation Plays
Onshore:
Cretaceous sequences, Sable Island, Nova Scotia, provide valuable insights for Reservoir Evaluation and further exploration.
Jurassic, Cretaceous, and basal Paleocene successions, including those from the Grand Banks, Flemish Pass, Orphan, and Jean D’Arc basins, are integral to understanding regional reservoir characteristics.
Upper Cretaceous, Paleocene – Mio-Pliocene successions in the Saglek Basin, Baffin Bay, offer additional data for comprehensive reservoir studies.
Offshore:
Cretaceous sequences, Sable Island, Nova Scotia, play a critical role in Reservoir Evaluation for offshore operations.
Jurassic, Cretaceous, and basal Paleocene successions from the Grand Banks, Flemish Pass, Orphan, and Jean D’Arc basins are essential for evaluating offshore reservoir potential.
Upper Cretaceous, Paleocene – Mio-Pliocene successions from the Saglek Basin, Baffin Bay, contribute to a detailed understanding of reservoir dynamics in offshore settings.
Unconventional Reservoir Evaluation Plays
Shale Plays:
The Horn River Formation in British Columbia plays a significant role in Reservoir Evaluation due to its potential for tight gas and oil resources.
The Exshaw Formation in Alberta and British Columbia, known for its shale gas potential, contributes valuable data for reservoir modeling.
Similarly, the Besa River Formation in British Columbia is crucial for understanding the region’s shale gas prospects.
The Duvernay Formation in Alberta, along with the Montney play, provides essential data for comprehensive Reservoir Evaluation.
Additionally, the Doig formations in Western Canada are important for evaluating unconventional reservoirs.
Oil Sands:
The McMurray and Wabiskaw formations in Alberta are key areas for Reservoir Evaluation, particularly for oil sands extraction.
The Clearwater formations in Alberta are also critical for evaluating the economic viability of oil sands projects.
Furthermore, the Gething and Bluesky formations in Alberta are essential for understanding reservoir potential and optimizing extraction methods.
Tight Gas Plays:
The Cadomin Formation in Western Canada provides vital information for Reservoir Evaluation, focusing on tight gas potential.
The Nikanassin Group in Alberta and British Columbia offers valuable insights into the tight gas plays in this region.
