Asset Development Optimization
McDaniel provides consulting support to exploration and production clients focused on helping to optimize development of their assets. In unconventional reservoirs in particular completion design choices made by the operator have a material impact on a given development's performance and the capital cost required to develop the asset. McDaniel relies on our detailed experience in resource plays as well as a best-in-class data set and machine learning techniques to seek out the relationships between well design and value.
Research and Data
McDaniel’s Research and Data team specializes in the ingestion and meticulous quality-control of public data, ensuring completeness, accuracy, and reliability. We gather and combine data from numerous public and third-party sources into powerful models that offer unparalleled insights into the complex world of upstream oil and gas. Those models include reliable resource play well lists, hand-picked individual-well producing forecasts, structure and reservoir parameter maps, and much more. All of our basin-wide models with pore-level detail are seamlessly integrated into our industry-leading data visualization software, empowering McDaniel’s analysis and external decision-makers with actionable upstream intelligence.
Carbon Dioxide Sequestration
McDaniel has over fifty years of experience working in the conventional reservoir realm of carbon dioxide sequestration. Reservoir engineering and petroleum geology fundamentals are the foundation for success as the energy industry moves into a new chapter. Whether it is deep saline aquifers or enhanced oil recovery using carbon dioxide, the basin wide knowledge and asset level experience McDaniel has gained makes us a leader in the field. Three dimensional geological models created by experts enable enhanced oil recovery simulation and carbon dioxide plume modelling. In house analytical tools created by McDaniel enable analysis of water and carbon dioxide injection, voidage replacement ratios and recovery factors.
