Heavy Oil Modeling
Heavy oil modeling and development planning optimization - an integrated approach combining geomodeling, reservoir simulation, production forecasting, uncertainty analysis, and practical field-development planning. We model the complete heavy-oil development lifecycle, from primary production through pressure-maintenance, enhanced-oil-recovery, and thermal-development strategies.
Key deliverables
- Evaluate primary production, waterflood, polymer flood, and thermal development options - including CSS and SAGD.
- Identify the most technically viable and commercially attractive development strategy.
- Optimize well configuration, spacing, phasing, and operating conditions to improve recovery and project value.
- Forecast production, injection, steam, water, and chemical requirements to support facilities design and investment planning.
- Quantify reserves, recovery potential, development costs, and economic performance.
- Assess geological, technical, and operational uncertainties to clarify project risks and possible outcomes.
- Deliver calibrated simulation models, development scenarios, and deterministic or probabilistic forecasts.
- Provide decision-ready recommendations that help clients select the right recovery process, avoid unnecessary expenditure, and move projects forward with confidence.
From complex reservoir behaviour to a development plan
We turn complex heavy-oil reservoir behaviour into practical, technically robust, and economically informed development decisions.
