Description of Services Clients Time/Duration
Subsurface modelling and reservoir engineering support for Thar Jath heavy oil field development plan, Sudan Lundin Oil 2001  (6 months)
Reservoir modeling review, Azadegan field, Iran Confidential 2004  (2 months)
Geological model construction, simulation, history matching and further development evaluation for an old field with low recovery Chevron 2006  (3 months)
Conceptual design for onshore gas wells with openhole completions. Ultimate development was highly successful, well rates ~ 35 mmscf/d, uninterrupted production Santos  
Developed a complete network model of 14 oil and gas fields including all wells, pipelines, compressor inlet/outlet & ex-platform/landing pressures, varying gas production rates and CO2 composition in order to: to address the gas sales demand; model gas, condensate & oil profiles at selected production systems;address the impact of the CO2 in the gas profile and the options for blending between high & low CO2 fields to meet the Gas Processing Plant- GPP 8 % specification; optimise the conceptual area development plan Petronas Carigali 2006
Facilities, Process and Flow Assurance support to the development team for the concept selection activities in relation to a gas / condensate field development. Key areas of responsibility included: selection of hydrate management scheme and sizing of Subsea flowlines. specification of topsides process configuration and selection of substructure and storage and offloading facilities, Sunrise, Australia Woodside April - Dec 2004
A full field review / FDP study to rejuvenate Heglig Onshore field in Sudan through maximisation of recoverable reserves, identifying ways to manage excess water production & water cuts, identifying problematic wells & providing remedial solutions and productivity enhancement opportunities with a view for new technology application

The review/study lead to a significant increase in the estimated field recovery factors and the identification of very significant potential undeveloped reserves in a neighbouring block

Steady state and transient flow assurance studies for Blacktip multiphase offshore pipeline. The analysis included three phase modelling (slippage), slugcatcher and liquid processing sizing and preliminary start-up philosophies Woodside June 2004
Crude (API 34°, 6 cP, asphaltenic): Well completion and artificial lift concept selection, detailed design and implementation for field development which incorporates ESPs deployed on CT on an unmanned platform. Post implementation we were contracted to manage and operate the CT intervention unit under a JV with US based Superior for the life of the field ROC Oil  
Operational support in which Scope included providing guidance on modifications/operational practices required to ensure consistent tanker loading BS & W specification. Key factors are demulsifier selection and deployment, sand management, effective separator interface control, efficient vessel internals, electrostatic coalescer performance, heat input and droplet size distributions BP  
Drilling management of two exploration wells on behalf of TAG Oil, as well as managed the side track drilling of an existing production well in order to create the an appraisal well

Successfully executed the drilling programme including completions for all three onshore exploration wells, drilling to agreed target depths in full compliance with New Zealand operating regulations, Taranaki Basin, Onshore New Zealand
