A petrophysics success story

Behind Pipe

An interval that was logged, never produced — and the team that refused to leave it in the ground. Shot as a short film from log to barrel.

How the story was built

workflow / craft

The opportunity, in five steps

DataRDL resistivity logs tied back to offset wells, depth matched and normalised.

AnalysisShale volume, porosity, saturation — every cut-off re-tested, nothing taken on trust.

ReviewProduction technology, geology and reservoir engineering aligned before a single decision.

ExecutionWorkover: the interval identified on those logs was opened.

ResultIncremental production from a zone that already existed behind pipe.

Reading the film

Every visual is generated, not photographed: the well schematic, the four log tracks and the production ramp are drawn from synthetic curves. They show the workflow the team followed — correlate, normalise, recompute saturation, challenge the cut-offs, agree as a team — not anybody's real well data.

No field numbers, depths, rates or names appear on screen. That was deliberate: the story belongs to the people who did the work, and the commercial detail stays where it belongs.

Not an official communication
