Making good use of depleted reservoirs and aquifer structures
To increase the cost-effective use of oil and natural gas reservoirs, reservoir engineers apply fundamental principles of physics and chemistry with respect to the behaviour of liquids and gases in permeable underground rock formations. Both analytical and empirical methods are used, e.g. decline curve analyses, material balance sheets or inflow/outflow analyses (monitoring) as well as numerical simulations (reservoir simulation studies).
As early as the 1980s, Kavernen Bau- und Betriebs-GmbH (renamed KBB Underground Technologies GmbH in 2004) was very active in reservoir engineering for depleted reservoirs and aquifer structures. Due to increasing demand, KBB UT resumed these activities and now conducts underground storage projects in depleted reservoirs and aquifer structures in Europe, Asia and North America with an experienced team of reservoir engineers, geoscientists, petrophysicists and drilling engineers.
KBB UT employees are also involved in many storage and geothermal projects and have a great deal of experience in preparing due diligence studies and underground storage data management.
We use the following software applications: Petrel, Eclipse 100/300, F.A.S.T WellTest, WellCAD as well as our own proprietary
programs.
