Recent Projects

Enhanced and Improved Oil Recovery

We were asked by several companies to evaluate their properties and offer integrated reservoir studies. These studies were to focus on development opportunities and EOR processes. We have evaluated waterflood utilizing both vertical and horizontal injectors as well as CO2 injection in newly discovered and also depleted reservoirs.

Development and Depletion Planning

Two recent studies were to evaluate high water cut, high volume lift, medium gravity oil reservoirs in order to enhance the pressure maintenance schemes in place and arrest production decline. These are large developments with over 700 wells in each and the size of the problems require the in-depth experience that we offer to enable them to be done quickly and at minimum cost to the client. The results were encouraging and the annual report of one company comments; "an independent engineering study, as well as field trials, confirmed that increased water injection would reduce our production decline rate and result in an overall improved recovery... ; (the) water injection scheme to be implemented ... has the potential to add ... a potential increase of approximately 125% over booked proved plus probable reserves..". There are many good reasons to consider an integrated reservoir study on your properties, especially in an environment of fluctuating prices - this may reveal your lowest cost reserve additions and the increased rates can cut the unit operating costs substantially.

Gas Field Optimization

We have also completed several gas gathering network simulation studies involving infill drilling and compressor and pipeline modifications. With North American gas prices now at the lowest levels not seen in many years, optimization and increased throughput is the solution to reducing unit operating costs and improving rate of return and cash flow. We are currently working on a shallow gas project to assist a client in optimally dewatering wellbores producing at very low gas rates.

Courses

Well Test Interpretation

The Well Test Interpretation course is presented by our Technical Director, Dr. Alain Gringarten. He has given this course numerous times and it is the basis of the one offered to the Masters students at Imperial College, London, where Dr. Gringarten is Director of the Centre for Petroleum Studies. If sufficient interest is present, we are planning on offering this course in the fall of 2009 in Calgary. Please let us know by e-mailing info@exploitation-technologies.com to reserve your spot for this one week course. This course can also be offered in other locations and in-house as well.

New Houston Office

We are pleased to announce the formation of our Houston affiliate, ETI Petroleum Consultants, LLC. This will enable us to directly service the heart of the US oil patch. We will be marketing in Houston shortly to introduce ourselves, but, if we don't get to you soon enough, please contact us at ETI@exploitation-technolgies.com and we will respond promptly.
