SPEAR Engineering Consulting Services, an approved representative in Nigeria and Egypt of IHS Incorporated, provides a full range of Reservoir Engineering services - from providing advice on qualitative policy issues to completing detailed calculations on a wide variety of technical matters. Our personnel have extensive experience in the transfer of reservoir engineering technology through adminis
tering and hosting ‘on-the-job’ attachment programs for international clients. Reservoir Engineering services are generally applied in concert with professionals in various other disciplines - either client personnel or our specialists - as determined by the requirements of each assignment. The basic philosophy implemented is to match a solution technique with the specific problem to be addressed such that an appropriate, practical solution is achieved in a cost effective manner. The following are some of the areas where we can be of assistance:
General Reservoir Engineering;
Acquisition & divestiture evaluations;
Oil and Gas Well Test Design, Scheduling and Interpretation;
Gas Well/Field Deliverability Optimization. SPEAR Engineering Consulting Services can develop an independent analytical analysis of raw data. If specific data is unavailable, we can gather and synthesize regional data or develop and/or apply correlations to acquire appropriate data sets. The application of analytical techniques can assist clients in assessing their current and/or potential hydrocarbon reserve base and production projections. Reasons for these analyses are varied and include a general desire to make informed decisions, develop a testing program, acquisitions, divestitures, banking and securities requirements etc. Depending on the client's needs, this data can be from a single well, all the wells in a given field or the client‘s entire inventory. The specifics of the analyses will depend on the ultimate objectives, the complexity of the problem and the data available. We provide the benefit of being able to apply these techniques within the context of, and/or leading to, an overall understanding of pool performance. This incorporates the knowledge of various disciplines (e.g. petrophysics, geology, production engineering, reservoir engineering etc.) to arrive at consistent, practical solutions. The types of problems handled with analytical techniques can include pressure transient analyses (DST, build-ups etc.), production rate declines, material balance calculations, volumetrics, voidage/replacement determination, displacement considerations (waterfloods etc.), EOR screening (tertiary oil recovery estimation, rate forecasts based on expected ultimate recovery or available laboratory evaluation of the EOR process ), PVT characterization (retrograde behavior - liquids recovery, miscibility conditions etc.), water or gas coning estimations, horizontal well transient productivity estimation etc. Most of these techniques can be applied to either oil or gas properties and can include basic economic projections. We can add true value to your business when working with you on technical issues central to your business. We will be helpful if you are:
Looking for high quality reservoir and petroleum engineers capable of using both the industry-standard software and basic mathematics and engineering reasoning;
Needing additional resources to carry out in-depth analyses of the opportunities you come across;
Challenged by non-standard reservoir engineering problems;
Needing a simple yet robust analytical model of the behaviour of your reservoir to make an immediate decision;
Studying the potential of a field using a limited amount of information;
Setting up calculation methodologies for a commercially sensitive parameter (production allocation, production optimization, lift optimization, specific project assessment measure etc);
Engaging in R&D projects and require third party review.
