Proven Results Across Complex Engagements

A mid-size operator was experiencing accelerating production decline across a portfolio of horizontal wells in a stacked unconventional play. Existing completion designs were underperforming relative to offset analogs, and the operator needed a defensible technical explanation before committing to a full-field redevelopment program.

Conducted systematic Diagnostic Fracture Injection Testing (DFIT) analysis across representative wells to characterize in-situ stress, pore pressure, and fracture closure behavior. Integrated results with production data and completion records to identify root-cause drivers of underperformance. Delivered a calibrated completion optimization framework with stage-count and proppant loading recommendations.

Revised completion designs yielded a 25% increase in Estimated Ultimate Recovery (EUR) per well across the redevelopment program — directly improving the economics of the operator's capital allocation and reserve booking.

A private equity-backed acquirer required rigorous technical due diligence on a deepwater asset package within a compressed two-week timeline. The seller's reserve estimates had not been independently validated, and the buyer needed a clear-eyed assessment of subsurface risk before closing.

Executed an integrated reservoir and geological modeling review, including seismic interpretation QC, fluid contact analysis, and probabilistic volumetric assessment. Stress-tested the seller's production forecasts against analog field performance and identified key geological uncertainties not reflected in the asking price.

Identified $15 million in previously unquantified asset risks — including a material downside scenario on a key reservoir compartment — enabling the client to renegotiate deal terms and structure appropriate risk-adjusted pricing.

An international oil company required a comprehensive SEC-compliant reserve audit across multiple stacked reservoir intervals in a complex, multi-basin portfolio. The engagement involved reconciling diverse data quality, varying geological frameworks, and tight regulatory reporting deadlines.

Applied rigorous SEC reserve definitions and deterministic/probabilistic estimation methodologies across all reservoir intervals. Coordinated with the client's internal geoscience and engineering teams to ensure data integrity, resolve classification ambiguities, and document the technical basis for all reported categories.

Delivered 100% SEC-compliant reserve reporting across all reservoir categories — ahead of the regulatory deadline. The audit withstood external review without material revision, providing the client with a defensible, audit-ready reserve position.
