Services
Services are offered in the following areas: 
- Subsurface Engineering Studies
These will typically include:
- Seismic studies
- Integrated field reviews and reservoir studies,
embracing
- Data gathering program
- Well/reservoir performance reviews
- Review of drainage patterns
- Integrated studies documentation
- Field development plan
- Drilling/completion/well repair proposals
- Reservoir pressure maintenance studies, e.g., gas/water
injection
- Production enhancement
studies, e.g., gaslift,
ESPs, etc.
The reservoir studies will be based on 3D methodology
all the way, with the reserves (STOIIP and UR) and
production forecast as the two key deliverables.
The petroleum engineering disciplines that will be
engaged in this work will include production seismologists,
reservoir geologists, production geologists, petrophysicists,
petroleum technologists and reservoir engineers.

- Well Engineering
Studies
These will include:
- Well feasibility/planning, in close collaboration
with the subsurface engineers
- Borehole stability studies for the fields
- Correlating well studies for drilling
planning
- Well design, including
- Multilaterals options applicability
- Slim well design applicability
- Big bore well design applicability
- Shared conductors applicability
- Well costing
- If the client requires, development of drilling
contracting strategies, tender documents, and
the subsequent technical and commercial evaluations
and recommendations can also be undertaken.
The services of well engineers conversant with well
planning, design and costing activities will be engaged
in this work.

- Surface Facilities Engineering Studies and Activities
These will encompass:
- Data gathering/project status reviews
- Close work with the subsurface team to
identify possible development options for
various subsurface scenarios
- Conduction of feasibility studies
- Commencement of the statutory approvals
processes in close consulation with the client's
organization
- Development of an overall contracting strategy
- Contributing to the field development plan
(a large part of which will contain subsurface
matters)
- Contributing to the Final Investment Decision
(FID) document.
These will be carried out by surface facilities engineers
of various disciplines.

- Operations
In order to ensure that operations are on board
throughout the project and therefore ready to run
with the facilities post-commissioning, the following
steps will be taken:
- If the client already has an operations
philosophy, the planned development will
be aligned with it, or changes proposed for
the client's consideration, where deemed
justifiable.
- In the absence of an operations philosophy,
one will be developed and tabled for the client's
consideration.
- An operations reference plan, a maintenance
reference plan and an asset reference plan
will also be developed for the client's consideration.
- Emergency response procedures will be outlined
- During the FEED stage, focus will be kept
on operability and maintainability issues (i.e.,
overall system availability, equipment criticality,
failure mode, and effects analysis, as well
as sparing philosophy).
- The interests of the production and maintenance
operations will be represented from the FEED
stage to the final commissioning of the sub-projects
within the development.
- Operations staff competence proposals will
be developed and presented to the client, in
line with the following:
- determination of manning requirements
- staff recruitment
- training, in the client's training establishment
and/or at the original equipment manufacturer's
facility. Training will aim to achieve
third party competence certification.
- proposal of long term skills development
strategy for operations staff.
The services of operations engineers will be utilised
here.

- External Relations
We are well experienced in the area of community
relations/development and environmental management
issues, and will deploy this expertise to the client's
benefit. As well, we will work closely with the
client to make sure all statutory requirements
are addressed in good time.

Top
- Economics
We will work closely with the custodian
of the client's economics model with a view to
finding
the best way to maximise stakeholders' value.
Taking cognisance of the applicable fiscal regime,
the focus will be on sensitivities in areas which
will impact the project, such as capital and operating
expenditures, product prices, reserves/production
change, impact of project acceleration/delays to
first product, and so on. All of these can be examined
at the client's chosen discount rate.
