Geology

Harnessing the advancing science of geology to match the needs of energy exploration, field development, field operation projects and low carbon solution projects is a specialist discipline. It’s also one that demands experience. AGR has been committed to this for over 30 years – providing innovative geology services that ensure our client’s assets are protected, viable and sustainable.

Working across all geosciences

Every client has their own set of requirements, which we meet by assembling an expert team for them, drawn from the range of geosciences we maintain in-house. In addition to the skills and experience we provide, our clients benefit from the insight gained from geophysical, geological, petrophysical and engineering data we have collected over the years.

AGR offers support in a number of areas:

• Field development projects, asset evaluation, drilling projects and peer reviews
• Sandstone and carbonate sedimentology, core descriptions and well correlation to suggest geological concept models as a guide to build digital geological models
• Studies of structural geology and fault analysis to assist with structural 3D models
• Integrated reservoir studies with resource uncertainty analyses, input to and iteration with reservoir simulation and history matching and assistance to drainage strategies.

On a regional scale, AGR can support clients’ in basin analysis and play and prospect evaluations, where we also make use of our experience and in-house databases.

For drilling projects, we assist with pore pressure analysis and geomechanical studies. The quality of this service is enhanced through our deep understanding of the latest technologies.
