About 'Petroprognostica'
Order from chaos. Pebbles - the size and shape of a euro - on an Alaska beach - demonstrate the thermodynamic equilibrium between minimum energy & maximum entropy. Outside of Exxon's work, the role of thermodynamics in depositional environments has been neglected.

The only thing we know for certain about any reservoir description of a petroleum reservoir is that it is wrong. The robustness of the oil recovery process to reservoir heterogeneity is then a crucial consideration for commercial development. Our approach is to apply basic physics & chemistry, grounded in empirical observations, to provide a reference for oil production forecasting. This approach has led us to surprising insights that contradict prevailing doctrines & predict inflection points that are smudged away by conventional finite difference simulations.

Our Resources |
We work in close collaboration with world class simulation engineers and experimental laboratories. We can design, oversee, and integrate a program to define & implement optimal voidage management in commercial waterfloods.

An Apology |
The neologism 'petroprognostica' is no doubt pretentious, but I do take encouragement that Johan Kepler, the celebrated astronomer, made his living primarily out of reading horoscopes for his clients!
