Petroleum Engineering

Petroleum Engineering is one of the AWT core business disciplines. The ever increasing recognition of the importance of this specialist discipline, and the ability to effectively implement the outcomes from studies allows AWT to provide wide ranging engineering support to its clients.

AWT Production Technology personnel have been integrally involved in the detailed evaluation of sanding potential, design of well completions and well operability strategies for many developments, at both field development planning stages and for existing field production optimisation.

With the ability to integrate geomechanic and laboratory sand prediction data into an operational well completion design, AWT can assist clients to identify risks and plan appropriately for future well interventions, thereby maintaining the focus on the client's business drivers. AWT also actively encourages clients to adopt a 'life of well' approach for evaluation, design, implementation and operability.

AWT has developed a unique range of integrated Production Technology capabilities covering a diverse range of specialties, such as sand control, artificial lift, field modeling and well operability strategies.

Our personnel have designed and implemented life-of-field production technology strategies to unlock challenging/marginal reserves and realise optimal long term flow assurance.
