Reservoir Characterization
Integrated reservoir characterization services can help oil and gas companies, utilities and energy investors minimize drilling and development risks and optimize production from new and existing wells. As the industry transitions to brownfield, unconventional, and deeper prospects an understanding of a reservoir becomes even more critical to maximizing value.
Reservoir characterization integrates critical oil and gas information to develop a comprehensive picture of a reservoir’s potential, as well as its challenges and helps identify how it will likely behave in different circumstances. Detailed models provide guidance that enables the comparison of opportunities, optimizes design and management decisions, and creates a development plan that can mitigate risk and drive value.

Our integrated multidisciplinary approach produces robust analysis; experts offer diverse perspectives and collaborate to provide out-of-the-box solutions to some of today’s most challenging technical problems.
Services include:
- Exploration and basin assessment
- Resource play assessment
- Field development planning, including enhanced oil recovery (EOR)
- Gas storage scoping and development, including CO2 sequestration
Focus on Gas Storage
Sproule’s experts work extensively with oil and gas companies and utilities to plan and evaluate underground gas storage (UGS) projects. Our analysis can determine the capacity of reservoirs and their suitability for gas storage.
Sproule has extensive experience in the development and modelling of UGS and, as a result, are uniquely positioned to provide unparalleled expertise in this regard. The scope of the work may include:
- Scoping of new reservoirs for gas storage
- Scoping and implementation of storage schemes
- Due diligence
- Reservoir and surface network simulation
