Proving consultancy on waterflood - development of new waterflood fields and optimisation of fields currently produced under waterflood. Having previously held a global waterflood role for the last 15 years in Shell I have built an unrivalled span of experience in understanding what makes waterfloods tick. Working on a fly in-fly out basis I have been able to quickly identify improvement scope for both new waterflood developments and as well as existing assets. Furthermore that experience spans all settings found in our industry - deepwater, shallow offshore, land, carbonate and sandstone environments, tight reservoirs, heavy oils etc. The experience also spans a wide range of the disciplinary inputs into waterfloods: Well and Reservoir ManagementFlood design optimisationInjection management and design (matrix/fractured injection)Flood conformance managementProduction chemistry controls (scaling, souring, clay swelling)Waterflood operationsWell designBenchmarkingetc. My breadth of waterflood experience is also useful for staff training. Able to provide integrated waterflood training - 5 days (spans all disciplinary inputs), management training, operations training.As a consultant I can steer teams on:Initial waterflood screeningField development planningWaterflood operation optimisation - improvement plansI am able to steer teams through a structured review process to manage and optimise future work
