Subsurface Consultancy

From exploration, appraisal, field development and facility design to hydrocarbon production, underground gas storage, and carbon capture and storage projects, we offer tailor-made independent advice and integrated solutions focused on creating value.

With an ever-increasing global demand for energy, effective field development and optimization of hydrocarbon recovery or the safe storage of gas, including through carbon capture and storage, is critical. Plus, the global demand for reduced greenhouse gas emissions and decarbonization requires fit-for-purpose project evaluation and the application of production optimization.

To ensure effective evaluation, development and management of oil and gas fields, and maximum return on investment, we provide essential subsurface consultancy, including reservoir modelling, simulation and production optimization.
