Imaging KH to Leverage E&P Success
Commercial hydrocarbon reservoirs all have charge, reservoir and trap. KH (permeability times reservoir thickness) defines reservoir quality, so KH largely impacts borehole flow rates. Apex's ADF(R) measures KH from seismic without reliance on well data.
About
Apex has a wealth of global experience spanning decades. We offer our technology and expertise on a consulting basis to leverage the value of your assets and help find commercial hydrocarbons.
ADF®
ADF® images KH from seismic data without use of well data and displays it in a SEGY cube that can be loaded onto any workstation.

A blind test was performed for PDO and published at the EAGE. The results show that where amplitude was ineffective to image reservoirs, ADF(R), by imaging KH, imaged what turned out to be oil and gas charged reservoirs in a sandstone and a carbonate formation. Although ADF(R) is not a DHI, a correlation between ADF(R) and oil and gas reservoirs may be observed, especially where early hydrocarbon migration is required to preserve porosity and permeability or where hydrocarbon reservoirs are self-sourcing.
