Development Static and dynamic reservoir modeling Reservoir geomechanics and structural restoration Geomechanics for drilling and stimulation Reserves and recovery assessment Production forecasting Completions optimization Surface-to-subsurface integration Field development planning Economics and risk analysis
Solve complex development challenges with comprehensive workflow processes that deliver consistent, high-quality results. During field development, our specialists collaborate with your team to support reservoir characterization and exploitation activities. In addition to building and updating the reservoir model, we perform geoscientific studies, estimate reserves, and integrate near-wellbore and full-field geology to optimize your FDP. When it s time to construct wells, we work together to mitigate risk as you drill through the overburden, land the well on target, geosteer the well to intersect the highest-quality reservoir sections, identify compartmentalization, and quantify reservoir fluid mobility. Proprietary software, including GeoFindIQ* advanced reservoir modeling software, helps reduce risk by incorporating rich outcrop analog databases of carbonate, deepwater, and other reservoirs, providing geological information that can be directly used in reservoir modeling, even at the early stages of reservoir development. During completions, our experts use all available reservoir and geomechanics data to enhance completion design and execution, interpret log and seismic data, predict the risk of sanding, and analyze well fluid samples to assess the potential for hydrate, wax, and asphaltene deposition. If stimulation is required, our completion and stimulation engineers will work with you to design the optimal program for specific well, reservoir, and geomechanics challenges, providing timely information to maximize reservoir performance.
Production Static and dynamic model updates Reservoir management studies Production enhancement studies Infill drilling optimization Workover selection and intervention Alternative recovery opportunities Surface facility optimization Online production monitoring Well abandonment programs
Explore all options, risks, and investment requirements for your most successful production results. Petrotechnical experts monitor reservoir and production changes as drainage progresses, applying modeling and interpretation services that can add value in multiple areas: early diagnosis of well problems such as damage zone progression field studies using trend analyses to pinpoint potential problem areas timely identification of underperforming wells input for proposing remedial actions such as recompletion, restimulation, and well treatments. Focusing on the entire production system the interaction between surface facilities, the well, and the reservoir our engineering teams use state-of-the-art production software to generate scenarios and optimize production system design and operation. Avocet* production operations software platform provides an asset decision support system to enable users to more effectively manage rates, recovery, and efficiency to deliver maximum value for all types of assets onshore, offshore, conventional, or unconventional. OFM* well and reservoir analysis software lets you rapidly connect to the information you need, analyze any asset, share results using standards, and evaluate reservoir and production data to guide decision making for multiple assets and locations. OLGA* dynamic multiphase flow simulator offers an accurate prediction of key operational conditions involving transient flow, from wellbore dynamics for completions to pipeline systems utilizing any types of process equipment. Working in collaboration with our customers, effective production operations management is facilitated by continuous measurement of production data at the well, manifold, and field level. This data stream feeds into robust predictive models for production optimization, look ahead, and preventive remediation. Production is further enhanced with Schlumberger patented Integrated Reservoir Optimization services in which integrated models are continuously updated and refined at every stage. Integrated studies and play assessment Integrated reservoir management relies on the capacity to maximize the use of multidomain data to make your best decisions throughout the reservoir lifecycle. Results from integrated field reviews reveal reservoir potential and direct the strategies for exploitation and future enhanced recovery techniques.
