To all the Ladies and Gentlemen in the Oil and Gas Business . . .

  • Are you the operator of a pool with 1, 2, 10, 100 or over 1000 wells, or do you have a working interest in that pool, or are you a third party with technical and operational expertise offering your wisdom to your clients, or are you just a player in the Oil and Gas Business?
  • Are you the engineer in charge of property acquisitions and divestiture in your company? Is your company buying or selling a producing property anywhere in North America or overseas?
  • Are you planning to drill infill, step-out or horizontal wells in any of your producing fields?
  • Are you contemplating a waterflood, a gas injection or other enhanced recovery schemes to boost your field productivity, or are you currently operating a waterflood or other enhanced recovery schemes?
  • Are you contemplating a merger or a takeover that could result in a lot of properties to be consolidated?
  • If any of the above applies to you directly or indirectly, it is important to have the tools you need to provide accurate productivity information about the properties (not just the current cash flow!). It is important to have the tools which will combine reservoir/geology, production/injection histories, experience and petroleum engineering expertise to identify and rank potential infill drilling locations and various optimizing scenarios in order to ensure success in your exploitation programs.
  • It is also important to have the tools you need to determine, among other things:
    • Hydrocarbon reserves in the pool, combining all the factors at play in the reservoir to generate expected recovery factors under current exploitation strategies and in various pool-optimizing schemes.
    • Total gas volumes in the reservoir system (initial and current); outlining gas volume variations in the gas cap and solution at different stages in the producing life of the pool.
    • Net hydrocarbon migration across property boundaries and present the results from qualitative and quantitative analyses of current reservoir energy sources in the form of reservoir drive indices in all regions of the field.
    • Daily and cumulative voidage replacement ratios and optimum injection rates required to maintain optimum voidage replacement ratios in all regions appropriately identified by pressure histories and geologic interpretations.
    • Swept and unswept regions in all the layers within the producing horizons, identifying watered-out layers which should be plugged-off in order to reduce or eliminate high water production rates. Identify all recompletion/workover candidates throughout the field.
    • Allocate reserves on a well by well basis and determine expected individual well performance under current exploitation strategy, secondary or EOR schemes and infill drilling. Perform field-wide or regional production history match and forecasts.
    • Reservoir heterogeneities in horizontal and vertical directions using results to establish the degree of both horizontal and vertical communications, pool continuity and floodability.
    • Upside potentials over and above current property par value-not just quick scan and then spend millions!
    • What should be done about current decline in productivity in field producers.

      How the production activities of offset producers and any contiguous aquifer are affecting your property.
    • That you should not simply rely solely on "Decline Analysis" in making important decisions about your producing units.
    Do you have the time for in-depth analyses of reservoir behavior and exploitation strategies? At APC, we have the time, we have the technical expertise in Petroleum engineering, we have the experience and impressive array of advanced Petroleum Engineering software systems to explore the inner reaches of the reservoir and provide answers for all your questions in Petroleum Engineering and production optimization schemes. Yes, in order to get high returns for your investments in the oil and gas business, it is indeed important to have the tools you need which will combine reservoir/geology, production/injection histories, experience and petroleum engineering expertise to perform rigorous analyses of the reservoir, individual well performance, infill/step-out drilling programs and other enhanced recovery schemes.

    All the members of APC's staff are here to serve you.
