OPC is recognised as one of the world’s leading subsurface engineering consultancies. We our specialist in a range of technical disciplines including geosciences, production engineering, well test interpretation, reservoir engineering, pressure transient analysis and reservoir modelling.
Disciplines
Specialist technical areas
Our Specialist Disciplines
Petrophysics
OPC provides a range of petrophysical interpretation services, from quick single well evaluations, to large scale multi-well studies, including the integration of log, core and geological data, and input into geological modelling.
Reservoir Engineering
OPC is one of the leading independent reservoir engineering consultants in the world providing services on a global basis to IOCs, NOCs and independent oil & gas businesses.
Reservoir engineering studies have included phase behaviour and equation of state modelling and production engineering.
Petroleum Economics
In order to offer a fully integrated service to our clients, OPC provides petroleum economics consultancy alongside our technical, geoscience and engineering services and on a stand-alone basis.
This enables us to advice clients on the economic and financial implications of the results of technical studies.
Geosciences
OPC has the capability to perform a wide range of subsurface geophysical, petrophysical and geological studies as well as seismic interpretation projects.
Pressure Transient Analysis
OPC specialises in Pressure Transient Analysis (PTA), also known as Well test analysis, which involves the interpretation and analysis of Drill Stem Test (DST), Extended Well Test (EWT) and Production/Injection permanent downhole gauge data. With a combination of operational and analysis expertise in well testing, OPC is able to maximise the information gained from your data set to give you a better understanding of your asset and enable you to make better business decisions.
Production Engineering
OPC’s production engineering / petroleum engineering expertise covers projects worldwide as well as various types of wells and reservoirs: oil, gas and gas condensate reservoirs; vertical, horizontal, deviated offshore and onshore producers and injectors.
Reservoir Simulation
Reservoir simulation is at the core of OPCs technical services department. We apply the latest technology and industry standard software together with highly competent in house engineering and geoscience staff, to build geostatistical models and up-scale them to dynamic models for black oil and compositional studies, highly fractured and faulted reservoirs studies, and the pilot studies and implementation of various EOR techniques.
Reservoir Surveillance
OPC provides specialist Reservoir Surveillance and monitoring services using Pressure Transient Analysis to help operators maximise revenue from their oil and gas assets. Effective Reservoir surveillance/monitoring can help:
Well Testing
Well testing is commonly the last task to be planned in an exploration project. Often this leads to the design and execution being carried out in a rush by personnel for whom testing is not their main focus and awareness of all stakeholder needs may be limited.
This can result in objectives not being clearly defined, money not spent wisely and potential loss of very significant data needed to evaluate development cases.
Drilling & Well Engineering
OPC’s drilling and well services capability covers a wide range of services on a global scale across a wide spectrum of different formations and subsurface conditions (HP/HT, H2S, Horizontal and Directional).
HSE Consultancy
Managing the Health, Safety and Environmental impact of every project is core to everything we do at OPC.
