ATECH Application
Technology Limited is a Canadian company incorporated on August 17, 1988. The
company is based in Calgary and offers petroleum-engineering services to the
Oil and Gas Industry both domestically and internationally. ATECH's
operating philosophy is built on working closely with it's clients and
applying leading edge technology as well as basic engineering principles in
solving problems in a practical, timely and economical way, thus, bringing
high value-added solutions to its clients. Our involvement in the design, programming,
procuring and on-site supervision of DST, production and injection / falloff
tests enabling us to meet various objectives including completion evaluation,
reserves estimation, reservoir characterization, and secondary recovery
project evaluation and optimization. The projects range from single well test
to multiple-well tests of both vertical and horizontal wells. Functions
include bidding and coordinating the services required to successfully
complete projects in the field. ATECH has also been responsible for design
management, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of horizontal under
balanced drilling systems for gas reservoirs in Alberta, Canada. A major
focus of ATECH's work is also in the identification, and design and
optimization of well completion strategies including hydraulic fracturing and
matrix acidizing and fracturing. Services also include evaluation of
reservoir properties and production practices as they relate to optimum
resource exploitation. The scope of projects require day to day use of
evaluation tools such as well logs, production logs, well test / DST analysis,
decline curve analysis, multiphase flow analysis, geostatistical analysis and
reservoir simulation. Our consulting practice also involves its
staff with the building of oil and gas network gathering system models for
debottlenecking studies, compressor optimization and performance forecasting.
ATECH has a total systems approach on building
these models recognizing that a good description of the reservoir,
completion, production, and facilities elements are essential to a practical
and useful description of these systems. ATECH's work
with gathering networks also requires it to interface with SCADA systems in
both their specification and practical utilization of their data in real time
hydrocarbon asset management. ATECH
has also conducted reservoir simulation studies of conventional and heavy oil
fields. There studies also include the evaluation of the latest horizontal
and pumping technologies in providing optimum depletion strategies. In addition to the above mentioned
services, ATECH provides industrial training in the areas
of production engineering, well completions and remediation, integrated
reservoir management, pressure transient analysis PTA) and reservoir
engineering worldwide. ATECH's highly qualified, multidisciplinary team
applies state of the art software and technology in its day to day work. ATECH
personnel work with FRACPRO, FRACADE, STIMWIN, STIMCADE, PPS, LANDMARK
AUTOMATE FOR WINDOWS), PANSYSTEM, TETRAD (Black oil and Geothermal Numerical
Simulator), PIPESIM, FLOSYSTEM, PETROSOFT and MERAK PROJECTS (forecasting and
economic evaluation), and the Gemini suite of simulation products, which
includes Merlin, Apprentice, Prophet and Nodal. ATECH also works with custom
horizontal well test evaluation software developed by Economides et al. ATECH
also develops its own programs in order to meet highly specialized technical
situations. The company works with advanced Intel workstations throughout the
office. |
