Volumetric Calculations and Performance Analyses to include Decline Analysis, Ratio Trends, and many others.

Estimating Reserves

In the early life of an oil or gas reservoir when there is little or no production data, the estimates of reserves are generally obtained by volumetric calculations, which require a knowledge of the size of and the properties included in the reservoir. The properties of the reservoir are predominantly measured by various logs run in the wellbores.

We offer:

  • Detailed log analysis in all major producing areas.
  • Ability to use computer programs developed in-house to provide accurate calculations of parameters.

If the reservoir has been producing, performance analyses may be applied. Whenever possible, or when required, Wright and Company, Inc. will utilize one or more estimation methods to obtain a consistent result. In addition, comparisons with offset data are used to verify the results and determine if they are analogous with other fields in the area. Reserves estimation methods include:

  • Decline Curve Extrapolation
  • P/Z Curves
  • Ratio Plots
  • Analogy to other similar producing properties
  • Material Balance Calculations, including the Numerical Simulator

Expected future production and sales of oil, gas, and any associated byproducts; Estimates of either monthly or yearly net revenues expected to be received from those sales.

Forecasting Cash Flow

Wright & Company, Inc.’s formal reports contain a projection of the expected future production and sales of oil, gas and any associated byproducts and estimates of either monthly or yearly net revenues expected to be received from those sales. These forecasts may include income adjustments from: ad valorem and severance taxes, lease operating expenses, capital costs required for the drilling of new wells, workovers, and the installation of surface facilities. Special considerations may also be included for various escalations, interest reversions, partnership splits and payout calculations.

The two main programs we utilize for economic forecasting are OGRE (Oil and Gas Reserves Evaluation System), developed by DPC&A, Dallas, TX and ARIES- the integrated Production, Reserves, and Economic Evaluation System from Landmark. We can run these programs based upon your existing database or we can create a database from your raw data.

Database Creation and Management

Most of the services we offer require extensive geographic and economic data for the fields, reservoirs, or specific wells being targeted.  The easiest way to work with this data is in a database and if we are using either of our economic programs (OGRE or ARIES) then a database is a requirement.

If you do not have an existing database, or just want to save time, we can build your database for you from your collected raw data.  If you have an existing database in dBase, Paradox or Access, we can easily work with it and can take over management if you desire.  All database transfers and updates are done via CD or email.

Our Database Specialties include:

  • Land/Legal/Marketing
  • Production Monitoring
  • Reservoir Parameter
  • Accounting
