Options for Geotechnical Investigation

 

  • Boreholes to identify
  • Stratigraphy
  • Unconfined compressive strengths
  • Penetration rates

  • Packer Tests to identify
  • Areas of potential fluid loss
  • Indicates maximum allowable annular pressure during the drill

  • 3-D Seismic Data, Resistivity and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to identify
  • Consistency of stratigraphy
  • Interconnected fractures, size and extent in three dimensions
  • Anomalies such as boulders, caverns and density pockets
