C&C Reservoirs provide analogue intelligence for upstream subsurface applications.

C&C Reservoirs' Digital Analogue Knowledge System (DAKS™), is a secure, cloud-based knowledge system designed to improve decision quality and drive value across all phases of the E&P lifecycle. DAKS™ leverages a user’s expertise on their own E&P assets with knowledge derived from global analogues. This knowledge can be described as ‘collective human intelligence’ and represents systematic documentation of the world’s most important oil and gas fields and reservoirs, allowing analysis of best practices and lessons learned from global E&P activities of the past century.

DAKS™ contains:

• Reservoir Evaluation Reports (RER) & EOR Reports – Provide an in-depth analysis and systematic documentation of the world’s most important fields and reservoirs.
• DAKS™ Tools – A robust search engine, and a powerful suite of characterisation, benchmarking, production performance and portfolio ranking tools.
• Pioneering Classification Scheme – A consistent classification scheme which has been exhaustively researched and can be applied to public domain and proprietary data.
• Global Knowledge Base - A comprehensive data model with hundreds of geological and reservoir engineering attributes, exhaustively researched and established at both reservoir and field level.

The Digital Analogue Knowledge System (DAKS™), delivers solutions to challenging issues across the E&P lifecycle through the combination of four elements:

• In-depth analysis and systematic documentation of the world’s most important fields and reservoirs
• Holistic classification scheme representing more than 25 years of detailed, scientific research
• Consistent knowledge base of more than 450 geological, reservoir engineering and production performance attributes founded on this classification scheme
• Secure cloud-based software platform that contains a robust search engine, the capability to capture knowledge on users’ own E&P assets and powerful set of characterisation, benchmarking, production performance and portfolio ranking tools

The technical team at C&C Reservoirs consists of seasoned geoscientists and reservoir engineers who have spent more than 25 years collecting, reviewing and synthesising geological, reservoir engineering and production data on the world’s most important fields and reservoirs. This covers every significant petroleum basin, play and reservoir type, as well as development and production challenges, and IOR/EOR methods. These fields account for more than 70% of global conventional recoverable reserves and, collectively, document both best practices and technical failures from global E&P activities of the past century.

C&C Reservoirs’ Digital Analogue Knowledge System (DAKS™) provides the opportunity to expand your teams’ experience using insights and intelligence derived from global analogues. The DAKS analogue workflow is designed to identify the best-in-class performance and examine in detail what differentiates them. Capturing knowledge on your own fields and prospects, benchmarking against global best practices and applying this knowledge to decisions ensures that you continuously learn and expand your knowledge. DAKS gives users unparalleled access to an immense amount of knowledge. Users benefit from the learnings acquired from the successes and failures of the world’s most important fields and reservoirs. This gives geoscientists and engineers confidence that their ideas are grounded in reality and fact, allowing them to make better decisions across the entire E&P lifecycle.

DAKS™ For Exploration:

• Formulate development concepts

• Evaluate your reservoir management program, Increase confidence in estimating production rates and recovery factors.

DAKS™ For Production and EOR:

• Save significant time and cost in researching and analysing analogous global reservoirs
• Benchmark your own fields against top performing fields
• Test new ideas for production improvement against proven recovery methods
• Calibrate uncertainty, stimulate creativity, reveal trends and improve confidence in recovering more oil and gas or improving production efficiency
• Identify and learn ‘best’ production practices
• Understand causes and effects and predict beyond the known to the unknown
• Support reserves bookings adopting SPE / SEC guidelines
• Devise, test and refine strategies to optimise oil and gas recovery and to rejuvenate mature fields
• Establish a reservoir’s technical limits.

DAKS™ For Portfolio Assurance:

• Construct your proprietary portfolio
• Characterise your portfolio to reveal common themes
• Benchmark your portfolio against applicable analogues to assess if you are over or under-estimating
• Weight parameter importance and rank your portfolio
• Optimise your portfolio to provide clarity on clarity on which reservoir opportunities to pursue; which development techniques to employ; and which improved or enhanced recovery techniques to use on mature fields to increase recovery.

DAKS™ Enterprise Module:

The DAKS Enterprise Module gives user to ability to download Reservoir Evaluation Reports, EOR Evaluation Reports, as well as exporting information, charts and graphics from any of the characterisation, benchmarking, production performance and portfolio ranking tools.

DAKS™ Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) Module:

The DAKS™ EOR Module has been designed to optimise the screening of EOR processes to maximise recovery. The EOR Module includes thermal, chemical, miscible and microbial methods and provides complete documentation on the enhanced oil recovery methods proven to be effective in improving field production performance in a broad range of global analogues. The knowledge contained in the EOR Module is designed to address some of the common industry challenges related to using enhanced oil recovery techniques. Through the identification of applicable global analogues and best practices, our users can identify the most appropriate technique for their assets and understand key risks or uncertainties.
