... resulted in a cost effective way of differentiating good to excellent reservoir quality versus average to poor reservoir quality. In McMurray Formation oil sands reservoirs, heterogeneity is found on all scales and predicting reservoir continuity is challenging. Borehole imaging (FMI tool) is used...

... Abstract High-resolution geophysical methods capable of imaging the subsurface geology in three-dimensions are proving to be important tools for the delineation of bitumen-rich zones and water saturated channels in the McMurray Formation of Northeast Alberta. At an operating oil sands mine...
