Unconventional Reservoirs

Modeling the performance of tight, low perm, low porosity reservoirs, such as shales, tight sands, and other unconventional resources presents new challenges to the modern exploration and production company. The challenge is no longer finding the precious resource, but most effectively exploiting it through the right business development decisions. Often requiring horizontal wells with multi-stage complex fracture completions, exploiting tight reservoirs is a costly business. The price of misplaced, under completed, or over completed wells is extremely high.

Maximizing recovery and reserves bookings and guaranteeing high ROI is key to ensuring these plays remain economic. Since flow into a well bore/completion may never reach a steady state during a well’s economic lifetime, the ability to analyze near well transients early to make timely, effective completion and well spacing decisions is extremely important. Trusted with hundreds of projects by unconventional operators for full field analysis internationally, OR has the technology and expertise to maximize your ROI.

OR utilizes unique modeling technologies providing sufficient resolution automatically around the wellbore and completion. With experience throughout North American shales and unconventional resources throughout the world, OR can determine and deliver optimum well design and forensic analysis of existing well performance.  With a tried and tested workflow, Object Reservoir is uniquely capable of delivering better results in shorter time spans to combat the rigors of modern development decisions.
