Case Study

Prospectivity Review, Mid North Sea High, Offshore
Independent review of Horizon Energy Partners’ Dabinett Prospect

Reservoir Quality Study
Evaluating the Reservoir Rock Properties of a Geothermal Project

Static Model Build
Onshore North Africa, static model build of complex tidal reservoir environment for dynamic simulation and optimization of reservoir development strategy

Static Model Build
North African, matrix producing limestone oil field required static model for volumetric assessment and use in future dynamic simulation

Fractured Carbonates
Representing a fractured, carbonate reservoir with a Discrete Fracture Network (DFN) produces an intuitively understandable model

Cross Border Fields Development Study
Two giant oil fields that straddle the international border of Iraq and Kuwait and had been developed separately. In 2019, ERCE was appointed to outline the technical and legal mechanisms for the clients to develop and invest in these oilfields.

Fracture Detection and Modelling – DNF & CFM
Identifying fractures from seismic data, calibrating with well data, surface and regional data, and building a fracture model either as Discrete Fracture Model (DFM) or Continuous Fracture Model (CFM)

Regional Basin Exploration
Offshore Falkland Islands, South America. Interpretation of multiple 3D and 2D seismic surveys and well data to understand the basin’s history and tectono-stratigraphy

Sub-Thrust Exploration
Onshore Bolivia. Constructing multiple balanced structural cross-sections based on surface data, seismic, and well data. Estimating prospective resources

Coalbed Methane Evaluation
Onshore United Kingdom, operator required coalbed methane reserve estimation for several blocks within their recently acquired acreage

Conceptual Plan for Redevelopment of Marginal Fields in the South China Sea
Many marginal fields have been discovered in the South China Sea and may become stranded. The recovery of oil prices offers an opportunity to develop these fields.

Static Model Build of Complex Brownfield, Offshore Australia
ERCE built a static model of the Wandoo oil field in offshore north-western Australia to incorporate new infill wells

Geosteering Extended Reach Wells in Thin Oil Columns
Geosteer four new extended reach lateral boreholes within the producing Wandoo oil field, offshore north-western Australia

Resources Evaluation of Dorado Discovery
ERCE was asked by Carnarvon Energy to perform an independent technical review of the Dorado resource following the Dorado-2 appraisal well in 2019

Economic Model Construction and Advisory for the Oil & Gas Company operating in UKNS
Construct an economic model that reflects technical inputs, fiscal terms and cash flows to value the oil & gas asset and assist in analysis and decision-making.

Shale Gas Evaluation
Onshore United Kingdom, operator required a shale gas reserve estimation for several blocks within their recently acquired acreage

Recoverable Resources Sensitivity Analysis
