CONSULTING SERVICES
"50 Years Of Continuous Petrophysical Experience, At Your Service"
Unconventional reservoirs are not "new" to us: tight gas, tight oil, gas shale, oil shale, tar sands, coal, coal bed methane, potash, low resistivity, radioactive, laminated shale, laminated porosity, metamorphic, igneous, or volcaniclastics -- we have done it all. Add our calibrated mechanical properties models to aid stimulation design to complement our expert petrophysical models for a complete picture of your reservoir.
To continue this strong tradition of service, we have formed a strategic alliance with Dorian Holgate, P.Geol., of Aptian Petrophysics. Dorian has 12 years of petrophysical experience with a strong background in stimulation design, reservoir description, and prospect development. This alliance will provide a smooth transition for current and new clients over the coming years. As independent contractors, we can often bring fresh insight and solutions to difficult problems, with excellent management control to provide high quality results, on time and within budget. Our independence means that we can offer proven solutions to your specific needs, without the temptation to sell you additional logging tools or exotic software. Worldwide experience in Canada, USA, Mexico, Trinidad, Cuba, Venezuela, Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, North Sea, France, Spain, Morocco, Libya, Egypt, Yemen, Kuwait, Iran, Iraq, Abu Dhabi, Angola, Thailand, Viet Nam, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Australia, China, Mongolia, Japan, Russia, Albania, Romania, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan.

In
2012, E. R. (Ross) Crain, P.Eng.. Principal Consultant,
celebrates his 50th year of continuous service to the industry. His experience
covers most active exploration and development areas in the world. 
We provide mentoring services and instruction in
practical quantitative
log analysis and calibration of logs to core and production
data. We have solved in-house workflow and technical problems
for numerous consultants, government agencies, and petroleum
companies.
We can help you code user defined equations into any software
package that accepts them.
We have taught more than
2200 students in the last 20 years,
in classes ranging from 7 to 30 participants. Courses are based
on
"Crain's Petrophysical Handbook – 3rd Millennium Edition"
by E. R. (Ross) Crain, P.Eng. Extensive customized course notes
and work sessions are provided to suit the needs of the audience,
with patient and personal attention to each student. We have
taught through translators in several languages. Distant learning, eLearning, and home study materials are available,
including multi-media audio-visual narrated slide shows.
Forensic
petrophysics consists of a review of previous reservoir studies or drilling programs
to find out what went wrong and what went right. This is especially
helpful in horizontal wells that perform differently than expected,
or in simulation studies that are difficult to history-match.
The service has proved to be very beneficial when a consultant
and a client disagree on the petrophysical parameters, results,
or methods used on a project.
We pioneered the use of desktop personal computers for
petrophysical analysis in 1976, 5 years before IBM ?"invented"
the PC.
Using our META/LOG petrophysical analysis script, we have completed the
analysis of many well known fields around the world. Projects
have ranged in size from a few to 750 wells, spanning up to 700,000
borehole feet in several projects. Recent jobs
included tar sand evaluation, stress analysis, and elastic
properties. Building on nearly 50 years of software design and
petrophysical skill, our META/LOG scripts continues to grow and
evolve as solutions to new and old problems are discovered. We
mentor clients on appropriate equations to add to the User
Defined Equation sets embedded in many commercial petrophysical
packages.
