Oil & Gas Production Engineering Services in New Zealand
Streamlining Oil & Gas Production with Deep C in New Zealand
New Zealand’s oil and gas industry, while smaller in scale, requires precise and effective production engineering solutions. And Deep C remains committed to assist in them to streamline the production. For the same reason, Deep C’s production engineering services focuses on revitalizing the existing fields & implement best practices. On that front, I offer a comprehensive range of solutions to unlock its full potential:
Comprehensive Solutions for Oil & Gas Resources in New Zealand
I am expert in finding solutions to problems related to production bottlenecks & recommending improvement strategies, including:
- Well-Workover Programs:I design & implement well workover programs to restore wellbore integrity, remove production impediments, & enhance well productivity. This may involve techniques like acidizing, fracturing, & sand control measures.
- Artificial Lift Optimization: Many New Zealand oil fields require artificial lift systems to bring oil & gas to the surface. Deep C engineers analyze well-performance data & recommend the most appropriate and efficient artificial lift technologies, such as gas lifts, electric submersible pumps (ESPs), or rod pumps. I can also optimize existing lift systems for maximum efficiency and reliability.
- Pressure Maintenance Techniques: Maintaining reservoir pressure is crucial for sustained production. Deep C engineers can design and implement pressure maintenance strategies like waterflooding or gas injection to ensure optimal reservoir pressure and maximize oil & gas recovery.
- Infrastructure Upgrade & Maintenance: I am quite capable of assisting oil and gas companies with upgrading and maintaining essential production infrastructure.
Pipelines - Due to my extensive experience, I can also assess the integrity of existing pipelines & recommend strategies for repair, replacement, or upgrading. This ensures safe & efficient transportation of oil & gas from wells to processing facilities.
- Gathering Systems: As a part of the services, I offer expertise in optimizing gathering systems for efficient collection of oil & gas from multiple wells and transporting it to central processing facilities.
- Processing Facilities: At Deep C, I can assist with upgrading & maintaining processing facilities to ensure they operate efficiently and meet environmental regulations.
Deep C understands the importance of knowledge transfer & capacity building in the oil & gas sector. I also offer training programs for engineers & technical personnel on various production engineering topics, including reservoir management, well optimization, & artificial lift technologies. This will enable oil and gas companies in New Zealand to develop their expertise & manage their oil & gas resources effectively.
