Proven Reserves with 15 years experience in exploitation engineering assists clients in optimization of light oil recovery by analyzing geophysical, PVT and/or production data.

Knowledge of light oil reservoir is determinant for optimum exploitation strategy. Determining the drive index of oil production is essential to design the optimum exploitation strategy. A pool where the main drive is the solution gas may represent a good candidate for an enhanced oil recovery like water-flood if the economic evaluation results in more profit.

On the other hand, Good Production Practice along with Concurrent Production may be the optimum exploitation strategy for a light oil pool with an aquifer or gas-cap gas as the main drive.

Each pool is unique and a combination of different regulatory applications may be necessary for optimum recovery.

In the exploitation analysis, pool delineation may be questioned and re-evaluated to ensure proper pool development. After determining the best strategy, Proven Reserves assists clients in the preparation and submission of necessary regulatory applications like Good Production Practice, Concurrent Production, Pool delineation and water-flood.
