• Shallow gas well with low pressure. • A 4-point modified isochronal test was conducted to establish the deliverability potential. • The well looked great at surface with the 16 hour extended flow stable at 1.1 MMscfd.
Analysis: • The pressure recorders were retrieved after a 2 week build-up and revealed a much different story. • Even without detailed analysis, pressure loss is evident and raises suspicions of a very limited reservoir. • History matching indicates: - a zone of good permeability that extends to a radius of about 525 ft from the well (20 acres). - a tight zone that extends to a radius of about 1200 ft from the well (105 acres). - an OGIP of 0.94 Bcf.
• Indication of small reservoir size and GIP seriously impacted tie-in decision and development plans for future wells. • The client can use this forecast to determine the project economics of tie-in and when to install compression.

SERVICES GEOLOGICAL STUDIES
Fekete’s geoscientists have evaluated prospects around the world. The strength of our expertise is the interdisciplinary co-operation between Fekete’s geological, petrophysical, geophysical, and reservoir engineering staff, and the integration of their results to arrive at a practical and technically rigorous reservoir interpretation. The geoscience team’s interpretation of oil and gas reservoirs incorporates all pertinent stratigraphic, structural, and petrophysical analyses. Gross and net pay analyses and the areal extent of reservoirs are determined through detailed correlations of hydrocarbon zones and surrounding strata. The stratigraphy, lithology, depositional environment and subsurface structure are also assessed. Also, Fekete determines reservoir parameters from petrophysical logs, core analyses, drillstem tests and well completion information. Mapping and modeling of reservoirs is completed utilizing all available information for a study area. Fekete’s geological professionals provide an array of services for both domestic and international projects. These include: Basin Analysis: • Sequence stratigraphic analysis. • Paleo-environmental interpretation. • Resource mapping and assessments. • Exploration prospect generation and risk assessment. • Petroleum geochemistry. Reservoir Management: • Basin analysis and modeling for production optimization (including EOR – secondary & tertiary recovery). • Basin and regional studies for hydrocarbon potential. • Gas storage evaluations. • Property evaluations and resource assessments. • Regulatory applications. • Expert witness. Petrophysical / Core Evaluations: • Petrophysical evaluations. • Sequence stratigraphy – stratigraphic and sedimentological interpretation. • Detailed core descriptions. • Depositional facies analysis. 3D Reservoir Modeling: • Digitizing and volumetrics. • Reservoir characterization and subsurface mapping. • Reservoir simulation – structural and facies modeling and upscaling.

PIPELINE GEOLOGICAL OPTIMIZATION STUDIES
Fekete’s abilities in gas gathering system optimization have been recognized as a truly unique and valuable service to the oil and gas industry. Using our F.A.S.T. Piper™ software, Fekete’s engineers are able to build a model of a gas gathering system that includes the surface gathering system, wellbores, and reservoirs. On the surface, F.A.S.T. Piper™ has the capability to model complex pipeline systems with actual sizes, routes, and elevation changes along with various facilities such as compressors, separators, off-takes, and intakes. Wellbore modeling allows the engineer to analyze wellhead and sandface deliverability and determine if and when a well is capable of lifting liquids to surface. In addition, tank-type (volumetric depletion), transient, water-drive, connected, geopressured or coalbed methane reservoirs may be incorporated into a F.A.S.T. Piper™ model. After building the model, Fekete personnel can conduct a field tour to obtain accurate flowing pressures and investigate compressor operations. This provides a snapshot of system performance to which the model is calibrated in order to represent actual field conditions. After calibration, future production forecasts can be generated with “what if” scenarios, including compressor changes, new well tie-ins, debottlenecking, accelerated recovery, and more. From multiple zone / multiple pressured systems in Alberta, coalbed methane systems in Wyoming, high pressure gas in Pakistan, to tight gas in Australia, our engineers have accumulated a vast range of experience and valuable insight. Many clients have chosen Fekete’s expertise because our recommendations generate immediate production increases at minimal cost and risk. Fekete’s engineers can build a model of a gas gathering system including: • Actual pipeline sizes, routes, and elevation changes. • Well deliverabilities. • Multiple zones with different pressures, reserves, and depletion. • Multiple delivery points. • Different gas compositions. • Rigorous model based production forecasting. • Aquifer or communicating reservoir modeling for material balance. • Compositional tracking for product allocation. • Historical production matches and overlays.

SERVICES GEOLOGICAL STUDIES PRODUCTION OPTIMIZATION
Fekete’s Production Optimization group investigates and identifies upside reserve and production potential which can then be developed and added to your booked reserves. We have developed a comprehensive Opportunity Banking Database process which incorporates geological, reservoir, completion, production, and economic analyses into a comprehensive summary of your assets. Specifically, the process includes petrophysical evaluation of byed pay including offset analogies and recommended perforation intervals, testing programming, remedial workover programming for under-performing wells, assessment of optimal well spacing, abandonment liabilities, and project economics. All projects are managed in a knowledgeable database with additional information appended as operations advance. Projects are prioritized so that they can be instantly reactivated if oil or gas prices jump or new facilities are built nearby. Project tracking is easy and ideas are never lost with staff turnover. We have many years of experience and an excellent track record. Clients have realized millions of dollars of upside production based on our results. Another specialized service is Wellbore Optimization using Fekete’s F.A.S.T. VirtuWell™ software. IPR’s, AOF curves, liquid loading, stripper compressors, choke sizing, and velocity strings are modeled to determine the best downhole tubular configuration. In addition, Fekete’s Production Optimization group enjoys working on unusual projects that do not fit conventional categories. These include: • Acid gas disposal. • Frac optimization. • Expert witness testimony. • Audit of field operations for “best practices” and cost effectiveness. Ultimately, our goal is to maximize recovery by optimizing production and operations of your oil and gas assets. We investigate all aspects of the problem by drawing upon Fekete’s multi-disciplinary expertise. In the end, we bring forward solutions that either add value or cut costs.

SERVICES
RESERVOIR ENGINEERING & SIMULATION
Fekete provides an integrated team of reservoir engineers, geologists, geophysicists, petrophysicists, production engineers, simulation engineers and computer specialists for detailed reservoir studies. We assemble the team consistent with the objective of the project, whether that is reservoir development and optimization, or improved reservoir characterization. Past projects include: • Reservoir Development and Optimization: such as WAG, CO2-EOR, thermal recovery, and waterflood design and optimization. • CO2 Sequestration and Acid Gas Disposal: such as reservoir engineering and modeling of CO2 storage aquifers in the Middle East and in Alberta as well as post-mortems on five acid gas disposal projects that have either unexpectedly pressured up or experienced unexpected acid gas breakthrough. • Reservoir Characterization: such as multi-well interference analysis for characterization of the size and permeability of “top water” and “lean zones” in SAGD operations, or connectivity between gas storage pools. • Experimental Schemes: such as natural-gas hydrate reservoirs and SO2 disposal. All simulation projects commence with a detailed review of data quality and analysis of the effect of data uncertainty on results. Preparation of the dynamic pressure and production data involves a screening process that uses practical oilfield experience. For example, completion reports are diligently reviewed for fracture effectiveness, perforation timing, injector/producer pair behavior, and more. More often than not, basic reservoir engineering techniques are then used to gain an understanding of the reservoir behavior, and prepare the simulation engineer for challenges during history matching and reasons for such challenges. For large reservoirs, Fekete’s geological, petrophysical, geophysical and reservoir engineering staff work in an integrated and interactive team. The geoscience team is responsible for building the static model that honors the depositional environment, and integrates independent stratigraphic, structural, and petrophysical analyses. Simulation proceeds only after scoping analyses determine that the integrated reservoir characterization model is representative of the reservoir, that it will generate trustworthy results, and that it is economically justified. Uncertainty assessment is included in the workflow, when necessary through the use of assisted history matching tools. After history matching, multiple realizations are run to investigate the full range of possible outcomes. We meet your objectives, whether it is to optimize the production and development strategy, or to improve reservoir characterization.

SERVICES UNCONVENTIONAL GAS STUDIES
Fekete helps clients engaged in coalbed methane (CBM) and shale development to optimize production from new or existing wells. In the past few years, Fekete has been involved in a number of unconventional gas projects including: • Undertaking industry funded initiatives to study shale gas. • Reserve estimation of tight gas. • Analysis of production data and production forecast for Coalbed Methane reservoirs (including Horseshoe Canyon coal, Mannville coal, San Juan Basin, Black Warrior Basin, Drunkard Wash, …). • Analysis of production data and production forecast for shale gas reservoirs (Appalachian, Barnett, Haynesville, Montney). • Reserve evaluation of CBM, tight gas and shale gas reservoirs. • Provide evidence and engineering for regulatory applications such as downspacing. • Production optimization of new or mature CBM wells. • Preparing engineering reports to determine a CBM-specific development strategy. Fekete’s Unconventional Gas group has completed a variety of coalbed methane studies with some consisting of more than 1,000 wells. They include the high pressure, high gas content coals in the San Juan Basin, multi-zone coals of the Black Warrior Basin, dry Horseshoe Canyon and wet Mannville coals in Alberta, and Bowen Basin coals in Australia. Our completed projects include: • Viability of developing new CBM resources. • Optimal infill well spacing for development of existing fields. • Gas production forecasts and estimation of de-watering periods. • Reserve evaluation using volumetrics, traditional decline, static and flowing material balance and history matching. • Field development strategy. • CBM gathering system optimization using F.A.S.T. Piper™. Using the required engineering tools from simple single well tank-type models to complex multi-well gridded numerical models, Fekete engineers address complexities that arise in the analysis of unconventional gas reservoirs and generate reliable production forecasts. The complexities include but are not limited to gas desorption, diffusion, dual porosity reservoirs, undersaturated/saturated CBM reservoirs and reservoirs consisting of multiple layers of coal and sand.
