| Performance Sciences conducts geologic, reservoir, well performance, completion effectiveness,
pipeline performance evaluations. In support of these activities, we provide technical
courses, and presentations, feasibility studies, and technical resource management
consulting on every Continent where oil and natural gas are produced. These services
have been provided to virtually every major and independent producer and several
national oil companies. The predecessor to Performance Sciences introduced the first
integrated technologies approach to reservoir performance. That approach and philosophy
persists in our current activities. These steps all lead to the ability to implement
procedures and practices which maximize asset value under any given economic strategy. |

SIMS® - Stimulation Information Management System
|
|
Because of the unique conditions which exist in the wellbore and near-wellbore
soon after the completion of a hydraulic fracture stimulation, very
early-time assessment of reservoir quality and completion effectiveness
can be accomplished. This information can be used to manage and alter
post-stimulation flowback procedures and subsequent stimulation protocols.

SMART™ - Stimulation Management and Analysis Real Time
|
|
The reservoir quality and its geology affect completion and production effectiveness. Further, from evaluation of the
high-time resolution production data, it is possible to determine the impact of commingling and remediation operations.
In addition, tubing landing and sizing and artificial lift procedures can be appraised.

Reservoir Evaluation
|
|
The assessment of reservoir quality and producing mechanisms requires the ability to allow each well’s production
history to tell its “story” about what has affected and caused its behavior. When these factors are considered
over a large group of wells and in the context of their geologic, maturation and tectonic environments, it becomes straight-forward
to evaluate asset value maximization strategies. This is practical for gas wells, CBM environments, oil wells above
and below bubble point, even in secondary and tertiary recovery phases of their lives.

Pipeline Performance Evaluation
|
|
Wellbore and reservoir systems change over time, therefore the system which transports the natural gas must evolve over
time as well. That need exists whether the gathering system is new or being reviewed for modification preparatory to
an in-field drilling program. To properly evaluate this time-dependence, the pipeline model must permit convenient modeling
and tuning of the historical system behavior incorporating all its elements. And, it must allow a prospective appraisal
in a forecast mode.

Compressor Effectiveness Evaluation
|
|
As the reservoir/pipeline system changes over time, so do the operating conditions for the compressors change. Operating
expense, reliability, up-time availability and capital expenditure are strongly impacted as a unit’s cylinders
and staging become unbalanced by increasing compression ratios and varying through puts.
