Independent Intelligence

Providing Technical Services For All Subsurface Activities

Our specialist technical capabilities have formed the core foundations of ERCE since our inception. Geologists, Geophysicists, Petrophysicists, Reservoir Engineers, Field Development Engineers and Economists form our fully integrated multi-disciplinary team.

The team understands that every technical study is unique, allowing us to offer bespoke, customised services to each of our clients.

Our team have a diverse skill-set and have the capability to provide the following services, alongside many others, to the oil and gas industry.

We also offer technical support to clients with unconventional portfolios including deepwater, shale, coal-bed methane (CBM) and heavy oil.

Technical Services

Communication

In the office, staff of all disciplines are co-located allowing full cross-discipline communication. This increases time and cost efficiency on projects for our clients through advanced knowledge sharing and reduced iteration on projects.

All technical work is peer reviewed internally to ensure the highest quality products are delivered to our clients.

ERCE staff regularly attend training courses and conferences to keep abreast of the latest technical knowledge and technological developments for their disciplines. We also frequently host ‘lunch and learns’ where we invite academics, software developers and associates with specialist knowledge, to present to the team on recent developments in Geoscience, Engineering and Economics. Where appropriate, we then apply these new learnings to our project work.
