Wells & Completions Advisory
Design wells and completions for long-term productivity.
The cost of waiting
What this looks like, with and without the right support
Completion design gets reused from the last well instead of matched to this well’s specific reservoir.
Completion design and selection are matched to the specific reservoir, targeting long-term productivity, not convenience.
Stimulation and fracturing results are accepted without a structured review of what actually drove performance.
Stimulation and fracturing reviews identify what’s actually driving results, so the next design improves on the last.
Completion performance is judged only by first production, missing how the design holds up over the well’s life.
Completion performance reviews look at productivity over time, not just the headline number from first flow.
Our approach
How this engagement actually runs
Completions work starts with design and selection that’s matched to the specific reservoir and well objective — completion type, fluid system, perforation or stimulation strategy chosen for this well’s rock and fluid properties, not carried over from the last pad because it’s what was used there.
Stimulation and fracturing reviews look closely at what actually drove the result on completed wells — which design choices correlated with strong performance and which didn’t — so each new completion design is an improvement on the last, grounded in evidence rather than habit.
Completion performance reviews extend that discipline across the well’s productive life, not just the first weeks of flow, and feed directly into integration with surface facilities so the completion and the surface system are designed to work together rather than as separate decisions.

Integration with surface facilities
Completion and surface design treated as one connected decision, not two separate ones.
Professional responsibility. Energy & Management Consulting Solutions Ltd. provides management, technical advisory and project coordination services. Where engineering or geoscience work must be authenticated in Alberta or another jurisdiction, it is performed and sealed by appropriately licensed professionals or permit holders engaged for that scope.

Questions
Common questions
Do you design completions for new wells, or also review completions on existing wells?
Both. New-well completion design and selection is one part of the scope; reviewing and diagnosing the performance of existing completions — to inform future design or identify remedial opportunities — is the other.
How do you evaluate whether a past stimulation or fracturing job was successful?
By comparing design parameters against actual production response across a set of wells, looking for the patterns that correlate with stronger performance — not judging a single job in isolation, which rarely isolates the real cause.
Can completion design work be done alongside an operator’s existing drilling programme?
Yes — this is commonly structured as technical support within an active drilling and completions programme, reviewing or designing specific wells rather than running a separate, parallel process.
What’s included in 'integration with surface facilities'?
Making sure the completion’s expected rates, pressures and fluid handling needs are matched to what the surface facilities — separators, flowlines, artificial lift provisions — can actually accommodate, so the two aren’t designed in isolation from each other.
