Deloitte has launched an alliance with French oil and gas services company FOROIL to enable upstream customers to enhance production and reserves from brownfields.

The partnership intends to use historic production data, breakthrough mathematical modelling and high-performance computing to achieve its target.

Leveraging FOROIL’s production-forecasting and field development engines and Deloitte’s consulting and implementation services, the collaboration aims to assist oil companies in arriving at decisions at the field, portfolio and corporate level.

Deloitte Consulting principal Scott Sanderson said: “This technology could have as much impact on the industry as 3D seismic.

“We believe the combination of breakthrough mathematics, reservoir physics, machine learning and massive parallel computing to create predictive and optimised results is unique in the industry.”

“This technology could have as much impact on the industry as 3D seismic.”

FOROIL uses historic production data, including flow rates, pressure, phase and other diverse measurements; and physical equations to derive its solutions mathematically.

The mathematics assists in defining the dynamic behaviour of the reservoir over time.

Combined with existing geologic models, the company’s solutions are said to provide more accurate production forecasts and rapid analysis.

Additionally, the Digital Oil Recovery technology uses seven or more years of production data to forecast and process development plans to help identify the optimal future development plan.

FOROIL founder and chairman Hugues de Saint Germain said: “Our technology is based on the premise that past data tells a story of the dynamic behaviour of the reservoir.”

Brownfields are conventional oilfields with an operating history of more than seven years.
