Supporting field development & production decisions. TRACS applies a stage-gate approach to project delivery to ensure risk and uncertainty is assessed throughout the duration of the project.

Specialist areas include:

• Field and hub development planning

• Opportunity identification

• Late life redevelopment (LTRO)

• Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR)

• Geomechanics

• Fractured reservoirs

• Unconventional plays

• Economic and commercial analysis

Maximising economic recovery and improving cost efficiency.

TRACS provides an independent view of remaining production and development potential. The result is an opportunity portfolio that can be used to assist with Business Planning and asset value estimation.

Opportunities include:

• Reservoir

• Near field and infrastructure-led exploration

• Wells and behind pipe opportunities

• Quick win facilities options

Our integrated teams use analytical tools and/or modelling techniques to Locate the Remaining Oil (LTRO).

Surveillance mapping:

• Evaluate production and surveillance data

• Combine insights with assessment of 3D permeability architecture

• Identify behind-pipe opportunities

• Understand and predict flood pattern, fluid movement and sweep within reservoir

• Identify remaining opportunities

EOR screening and simulation

Services includes:

• Reservoir simulation and benchmarking for a range of enhanced oil recovery methods

  • conventional injection (water, gas) and WAG

  • continuous and cyclic steam flooding and Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD)

  • in situ combustion

• EOR screening and resource estimation from small heavy oil pools to giant oil fields

  • stand alone or as part of wider CCUS study

• Advisory services to assist government agencies in effective policy (fiscal incentives) and practices to maximise hydrocarbon recovery
  

Expertise from wellbore scale to reservoir scale. TRACS provides geomechanical solutions for complex wells and complex reservoirs.

Services include:

• Wellbore stability and PPFG prediction

• Geomechanics of naturally fractured reservoirs
