Innovative Thinkers

In 2015, A&A Consulting Team celebrated 25th anniversary of providing state-of-the-art consulting, and customized training, services to the worldwide oil & gas industry. To mark that occasion, the 'World Oil' magazine editors visited us, and published that interview of Dr. Sam Avasthi in 'Innovative Thinkers' column of the magazine's February 2015 issue. To read that column, please click here.

From World Oil: "HOW WE SURVIVED $2/BBL OIL" - DR. SAM AVASTHI

"Lean and mean companies will weather this current storm, petroleum engineer and consultant Dr. Sam Avasthi says, but commodity cycles are not unique. World Oil sat down with Dr. Avasthi, on January 21, 2015, and he told us how in the early sixties at a meeting in the Exxon building in downtown Houston, people wondered when the price of crude oil would go above $3/bbl." To view that interview on YouTube, please click here.

What Dr. Sam Avasthi said in that inerview (after the oil price crash in 2014, about the oil & gas industry scenario at that time, in general, and what the future holds for the petroleum consulting business, in particular) is still valid today, after the oil price crash in 2020.

'Shale EOR - Practical Aspects'

This state-of-the-art training course for professionals of companies interested in improving oil recoveries from their shale resources, by utilizing state-of-the-art EOR technologies and strategies, is now being offered. For an outline of this customizable training course, please contact us.

BREAKING NEWS:

Some A&A clients are looking to acquire oil fields, that meet the following criteria, for CO₂ flooding EOR projects:

Near an adequate source of CO₂ supply.
Where the cumulative production from primary and secondary recovery exceeds 30 million barrels, and more than half of the production comes from the waterflood.
Where the crude oil gravity exceeds 25 degrees API.
Where only one operator operates the candidate oil field. However, if the oil field is large enough to be CO₂ flooded in parts, a property within a larger oil field could make an acceptable acquisition or joint venture for A&A clients.

Other A&A clients are looking for CO₂ source fields:

That are developmental in nature.
That will align with the oil field candidate locations.

While some other A&A clients are interested in:

Purchasing properties outright.
Creating partnerships to develop CO₂ source fields and CO₂ floods where A&A client would be the operator.
Forming joint ventures with existing owners where A&A client would become the operator. In these cases the existing owner would keep the PDPs net of production costs; A&A client would develop the CO₂ flood and take all the production above the PDP decline and the existing owner would back-in after A&A client reaches payout.
Forming joint ventures with MLPs whereby the partnership purchases a property, the MLP takes the PDPs net of production costs and A&A client develops the CO₂ flood, keeping all the production above the PDP decline. A&A client would then sell the developed reserves to the MLP with a pre-arranged valuation methodology.

If your company has an oil field that is a suitable candidate for CO₂flooding, or your company has a CO₂source field, and you will like to discuss the above then contact us.
