Well Productivity Improvement Services (Oilfield Forensics)

Drilling-for-Profit & Drill Mud/Completion Fluids Optimisation Services (Examples)

  • QA/QC mud products (i.e. bentonite & barite)
  • Drill muds/completion fluids optimisation
  • Static mud formulation screening
  • Wellbore condition; replicate the drilling and completion scenario 'in the field' to model for FFF and transient skin and flow efficiencies
  • Gravel pack studies (open hole with sand screens) simulated reservoir/wellbore conditions & with various packing fluids (i.e. OilPAC and ClearPAC)
  • Filtercake breaker fluid injections/soaks
  • Shale/fluid compatibility studies at scaled mud/fluid velocities
  • Water Injectivity performance testing

Sandscreen Selection & Optimisation Services (Examples)

  • Static screen displacements
  • Wellbore dynamic displacements with hydrocarbon production phase to determine sandscreen impairment
  • Sand control equipment design verification testing

Produced/Production Fluids, PVT & Fluids Analysis, Geochemical Fingerprinting SARA & PARA analysis (Examples)

  • Emulsion forming tendency at wellbore/reservoir conditions
  • Water/Oil emulsion Characterisation
  • Hydrocarbon fingerprinting for PARA/SARA

"Production" PVT (Examples)

  • Undertake reservoir-to-topside condition phase behaviour studies and investigations i.e. verification of selected chemical products to suppress the formations of hydrate; determine the behaviour of TEG/MEG at well head producing/flowing conditions; role of mineral lubricating oils in 'blow-by' gas and the impairment of topside chiller units

Effective Treatment Design (Examples)

  • Chemical i.e. demulsifier; pour point suppressant; de-foamer treatment separation efficiency
  • Third party QA/QC & formulation review & optimisation studies

Fluid Rheology (Examples)

  • Reservoir/wellbore conditions to topside process conditions for drill muds, completion fluids & additives, emulsified fluids and associated treatment chemicals
