Petroleum engineering studies are fundamental to profitable operations.
The evaluation of the performance of each reservoir and well is an
essential part of all of our multi-disciplinary studies. At SCA,
petroleum engineering validates the geologic interpretation and focuses
on the remaining potential of the field. SCA's petroleum engineers
combine volumetric and performance evaluation results to determine
the exploration, exploitation, and remaining potential reserves and resources of all properties.
Petroleum engineers review all field data and build oil and gas
completion and production databases. From these databases, projections
of remaining oil and gas reserves potential for each producing completion
are made. SCA forecasts the timing and the performance of the behind
pipe, the undeveloped and exploitation potential, utilizing core
and log characteristics, fluid properties, and past performance in
the field. Our experienced professionals combine all available information
to develop a depletion plan to exploit the remaining reserves on
each property in the most efficient manner.
Achieving the full potential of a property includes evaluating the
efficiency of each completion, the artificial lift system in each
well and the efficiency of the surface facilities. SCA's petroleum
engineers incorporate build up analysis and nodal analysis to propose
the proper action to maximize production efficiency.
Determining the number of wells to drill, locating wells at the
optimum position, drilling vertical/horizontal wells, perforating
sufficient interval with the required density and completing wells
with the correct tubulars are essential to effectively developing
and depleting the reserve potential of all oil and gas properties.
SCA's experienced engineers incorporate recommendations in their
depletion plans to best recover the remaining reserve potential.
