MRIL OVERVIEW Team One NUMAR / HALLIBURTON
Crucial Formation Evaluation Questions • What is the storage capacity (e and t ) in a Complex Lithology Environment ? • Are there hydrocarbons, • what types of hydrocarbons and, • how are they distributed? • What is the permeability (deliverability)? • Will the formation produce water free? (what is irreducible saturation (BVI)) MRIL answers them all
