Well Performance Diagnosis and Production Optimisation

A structured, evidence-led review of well behaviour to clarify supported causes of underperformance and define the next engineering decision.

Suitable questions

• What changed before the decline or loss of stable production?

• Which reservoir, near-wellbore, wellbore, liquid-loading or operating explanations are supported?

• Which additional data would distinguish competing explanations?

Typical initial deliverables

• Data suitability and limitation review

• Production behaviour assessment

• Evidence table for candidate constraints

• Uncertainty and data-gap register

• Recommended next analysis or operational review

Digital Rock and Formation Damage Modelling

A feasibility-led approach to determine whether supplied imaging and laboratory evidence can support a defensible pore-scale or formation-damage modelling study.

Suitable questions

• Is image resolution and representative volume suitable?

• Can pore, fracture and particle structures be segmented with acceptable uncertainty?

• How should contamination, drilling-fluid invasion or flowback states be represented?

Typical initial deliverables

• Image and dataset suitability assessment

• Representativeness and scale review

• Proposed model scope and assumptions

• Calibration and sensitivity plan

• Go, revise or stop recommendation

Can supplied CT, image or laboratory data support the intended conclusion? → Digital Rock Feasibility Review

Detailed forecasting, economics, intervention design and field-wide prioritisation are scoped separately where required.

Scope principles

One defined technical question per initial review. Named inputs, assumptions, exclusions and authorised uses. A written deliverable and review discussion. No implied field execution, laboratory testing or statutory certification unless expressly agreed.
