Field Development Planning (FDP) and Field Development Modeling (FDM) of Unconventional/Shale Resources
Resource Assessment and Evaluation of Play, Field, Acreage or Lease - Worldwide
Assign your company's unconventional/shale resources assessment and field development planning challenges to A&A, and let the high-level, seasoned consultants of the A&A Consulting Team build the FDP/FDM that your decision-makers can act on.
Avasthi & Associates, Inc. (A&A) is an independent petroleum engineering and geoscience consulting firm. A&A does not sell fracturing equipment, proppant, chemicals, logging tools, or reservoir-simulation software — our only business is expert technical consulting, which means our recommendations on your unconventional/shale FDP/FDM are never influenced by a stake in any particular vendor or technology.
The high-level, seasoned consultants of the A&A Consulting Team have been working on Field Development Planning (FDP) and Field Development Modeling (FDM) projects for unconventional/shale resources for more than fifteen years, and can assemble project teams to accelerate your company's unconventional/shale resources development activities and enhance production.
A&A's unconventional/shale resources assessment and evaluation capabilities include, but are not limited to, analyzing geological data, mapping reservoir parameters, estimating resource potential, and analyzing production performance. This work can be carried out at the play level or on an acreage basis (a portfolio of leases across a number of areas). A&A can consolidate all field studies, generate a notional field development plan (FDP), provide the reserves and economic value of the field, and develop a field development model (FDM).

Field Development Modeling (FDM) with Risk and Uncertainty Modeling
We will also be delighted to help your company with:
• Building/setting up a full Field Development Model (FDM) using state-of-the-art software (PetroVR) that provides modules for field development planning (FDP) under uncertainty, and a post-processing economic module flexible enough to model a wide range of dependencies
• Economic Evaluation with Uncertainty Analysis (PEEP), a widely used petroleum economic evaluation and risk-analysis software tool
Whenever requested, the A&A Consulting Team will be delighted to present the results of our investigation of your company's unconventional/shale resources assessment and evaluation — not only to your company's management, but also to your company's equity partners, financial institutions, and/or the appropriate regulatory authorities — for their approval, and to answer any questions that they may have about our findings, the generated notional field development plan (FDP), and the field development model (FDM).
In addition, whenever requested, the A&A Consulting Team will be delighted to conduct customized training workshops on conducting unconventional/shale resources assessment and evaluation of a play, field, acreage, or lease, and on generating a notional field development plan (FDP) and developing a field development model (FDM), for the benefit of your company's professionals and managers, at your company's offices, around the world.
