Reservoir Modelling
Reservoir Modelling Techniques provide that full understanding of the Tertiary Recovery Process. Merchant Consulting has been conducting Reservoir Model Studies since 1980 (35+ years) including two years at Amoco's Research Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma (1980-1982) to learn Reservoir Modelling from the inside out.
With over 35 years of Simulation Experience, there isn't a simulation project that can't be modelled with the right tools and the right data.

Permian Basin - CO2 Tertiary Recovery
GWR and Slug Size Optimization of the WAG Process
Prepared for: Amoco Production Company, Permian Basin Busines Unit
Simulator: Amoco GCOMP
Study Duration: 2 years
Note: This study set the stage for extending tertiary oil recovery from
8-10% to 15-20% OOIP. The objective of this model study was to model the Conventional WAG process which resulted in the development of the Tapered WAG Recovery Method used today by extending CO2 HCPV injection from 30%-40% slug size to over 80+% HCPV.
Injection Well Profiling of the CO2 Miscible Process
Prepared for: Amoco Production Company, Permian Basin Busines Unit
Simulator: Amoco GCOMP
Study Duration: 2 years
Note: This study extended the knowledge of the WAG process by modeling the Injection Recovery Process and comparing reservoir performance from actual Injection Profiles in both Slaughter and Wasson Fields.
