We find the barrels others miss.
Decades inside Southeast Asia's producing basins.

Sarawak Basin
Brought 40-year-old fields back to growth. A deepening campaign on existing wells found a new oil play that earlier operators had drilled past, adding 125 million barrels of oil in place. Both wells flowed at more than 850 barrels per day.
For decisions where the numbers have to be right.
Investors & private equity
You are buying or selling an asset and need to know whether the reserves are real. We test the numbers the way we did on assurance committees inside PETRONAS and Shell, at the pace a deal demands.
National oil companies & regulators
Independent second opinions on development plans and reserves, from people who spent careers writing and enforcing those standards. We also train and mentor in-house technical teams.
Operators & joint ventures
Production is declining faster than forecast, or a development decision is stuck in review. We diagnose the problem hands-on and stay involved until the fix is delivering.
Six disciplines, delivered by the principals.
Every engagement is led in person by a principal who owns the solution end to end — with a wider team of specialists behind them.
Reservoir management & waterflood
Waterflood design and surveillance led by a Shell-accredited principal expert. We work out why injected water is not sweeping the oil it should, model fracture risk in high-rate injectors, and keep simulation models honest against real field data.
Field development planning
Approved, bankable development plans in 9 to 12 months. We know the regional review and approval process first hand and build plans to pass it, from first concept through to final investment decision. Proven on a 1,100 million barrel deepwater project.
Geophysics & digital subsurface
Seismic interpretation and machine learning workflows that cut screening time by more than half. Pore pressure prediction, time-lapse seismic monitoring, and imaging through gas clouds in both carbonate and sandstone plays.
Production optimization
Daily production is won or lost well by well. We set up the review routines, gas lift designs and network models that move an asset into the top quartile of its peers. The same system added 24,000 barrels per day in Brunei.
Mature fields & enhanced recovery
Old fields hide overlooked oil. We find bypassed zones and untapped fault blocks, plan the wells to reach them, and design chemical or gas injection schemes to recover more. Our team helped write Malaysia's 30-year enhanced oil recovery contract.
CO₂ capture & storage
We qualify depleted fields and aquifers for permanent CO₂ storage: seal integrity, injection modeling, plume tracking and the long-term monitoring plans regulators expect. The same reservoirs we spent careers producing, now put to work storing carbon.
Four careers spent running the disciplines we now advise on.
Over 145 combined years in chief and technical authority roles at PETRONAS, Shell and their partners. Every engagement is delivered by the people below.
Sai Garimella
SENIOR TECHNICAL AUTHORITY, SHELL (20 YRS)
Shell-accredited principal expert in waterflood. Delivered full redevelopment plans for fields up to 1,100 million barrels and led technical due diligence on major regional acquisitions.
Amit Roy
SUPERINTENDING GEOLOGIST, ONGC · BAPCO
Sat on PETRONAS's central reserves assurance committees and wrote its reserves compliance guidebook. Discovered a new play that added 125 million barrels of oil in place. Thought leader in coal bed methane and shale gas: expert roles on the GLNG project in Australia’s Surat and Bowen basins and the Raniganj CBM formation in India.
Eric Andersen, P.Geoph.
EXPLORATION LEADERSHIP, TALISMAN ENERGY
Built PETRONAS's next-generation exploration technology roadmap and ran a group of over 300 geoscientists. Cut basin screening times by 60% with cloud and machine learning methods.
Chon Fui Chai
FIELD DEVELOPMENT MANAGER, CARIGALI HESS
Lead architect of Malaysia's 30-year enhanced oil recovery contract. Ran Shell's global smart fields program with a $100 million budget and delivered 24,000 barrels per day of production gains.
CO₂ storage, taken as seriously as oil.
The reservoirs we spent careers producing are the same ones now being assessed for carbon storage. We qualify them with the rigor regulators expect.
Storage site screening
Which depleted fields and aquifers can safely hold CO₂. Seal integrity, storage capacity and ground movement risk, assessed before money is committed.
Injection modeling
Where the CO₂ goes once injected. Full simulation of injection strategies, plume movement underground and long-term trapping.
Monitoring & verification
Proof the CO₂ stays put. Monitoring plans built around downhole fiber optic sensing, designed to satisfy regulators for decades.
We train your next technical leaders.
Reservoir mapping & resource assessment
Hands-on training in structural mapping, well log correlation and volume estimation, aligned with industry reserves reporting standards.
Waterflood management
How to run a waterflood properly: injection balancing, sweep monitoring and the dashboards that show when something is going wrong.
Development planning & decision quality
Managing subsurface uncertainty and making development decisions that stand up to review boards and regulators.
