Pore Software, A Program Developed by Concremat in Partnership with ESSS, Reduces Time and Costs of Petrophysical Data in the Pre-Salt

Concremat Engenharia, ranked first among Designers and Managers of the largest engineering companies in Brazil, has developed a new type of digital analysis capable of reducing the time for gathering petrophysical information from the rocks found in the pre-salt. Energy Plataform seeks partnership to build a natural gas hub in Rio de Janeiro and Espírito Santo

According to Concremat Engenharia, the project phase of surveying is one of the main barriers to making them more agile and accurate. The study can also expedite the oil and gas exploration schedule, with information that takes up to 6 months to be analyzed.

This is where Pore comes in, the software developed by Concremat in partnership with ESSS, capable of digitizing a sample and reducing analysis time to a few days.

The software will help scientists and engineers estimate, from field samples, rock characteristics that are crucial for reservoir modeling and simulation. Thus influencing the distribution of topological and petrophysical properties of the model, which are critical for fluid flow behavior, well planning, and production optimization.

“With Pore, we can check the characteristics of the sample and deliver information in less than a week. In the conventional method, this can take up to six months. This time is crucial for decision-making by exploration companies, as with this petrophysical information, it is possible to know how much oil is in the rock and the best way to extract it,” explains Leonardo Verbicaro, physicist and Pore project coordinator at Concremat.

According to Lenardo, in addition to increasing the speed of analysis, Pore reduces costs and does not destroy the samples. It works like an imaging treatment. Being digital, it allows photographing the rock and analyzing it without needing to destroy it. “Moreover, we can create a database, integrating information from all samples, and better understand the materials that compose a certain oil field,” he concludes.
