PRODUCTION & WELL ENGINEERING
Production Optimization Services

APA Petroleum Engineering provides a wide range of Production Optimization services. These range from detailed study of single well completion performance, stimulations, or artificial lift to full field analytical optimisation. Software tools such as OFM™ are used for overall performance analysis and WEM™, PROSPER™, and WELLFLO™ are used for individual well performance; while history matching and full field depletion planning is handled with Integrated Production Modelling software (PETEX™ and NEOTEC™). Studies may include both surface and subsurface system optimisations, and are typically conducted with the appropriate elements of APA's extensive suite of state-of-the-art engineering software.
