Ryder Scott
Petro Engineering
Petroleum Engineering
The Ryder Scott engineering group is highly experienced in all phases of reservoir analysis, reserves determination and characterization, field development and reservoir management. The firm has optimized recovery for a variety of oilfield projects, including steam and water floods, development drilling, enhanced recovery and coal-bed methane.
Performance studies range from simple decline-curve analysis to material-balance studies to sophisticated modeling that simulates the behavior of complex reservoirs. Incorporating historical data and detailed fluid descriptions, those simulations range from black-oil to fully compositional formulations. Reservoir-management recommendations may involve stimulation techniques, additional well locations, facilities upgrading, horizontal drilling and enhanced recovery through the injection of water, steam, gas, carbon dioxide and nitrogen.
The firm accepts and uses seismic and well data in formats compatible with most recognized commercial software packages. For a detailed summary of Ryder Scott services, the following outline is offered:
