Our 2013 Vinland User Group Meeting (VUGM) will be held Thursday, May 9th, 2013 at Shells offices in Calgary. Please contact Eriksfiord for details.

May, 2013
Eriksfiord is presenting a poster An integrated workflow for borehole image interpretation - structural geology, sedimentology and stress field at the Integration geoConvention in Calgary May 6-10, 2013

April, 2013
To investigate the impact of different DOI values on dip data Eriksfiord offers a free of use Java based DOI Sensitivity Analyzer tool on its dictionary site. Note: Java 6 or higher is required on your computer to run this tool.

____________

10 year anniversary in 2011
Eriksfiord team gets together in Arizona to celebrate

____________

Since commercial launch last year, our VINLAND software has already seen important additional functionality, most notably

• Image orientation can be North, High-Side or Arbitrary

• Vuggy porosity calculator

• Mogi-Coulomb criterion for shear failure

• Stress influence on fractured rock permeability

For stress influence on compressing or dilating a dominant fracture set, we use a reversible model taking into account shear and effective normal stress. When a fracture is picked on the image, its stress state is instantly displayed.


For a given stress-tensor, spacing and aperture, contours in the stereogram above shows the fractured rock permeability relative to the unstressed state.
