MAXXWELL PRODUCTION
GEOLOGICAL AND GEOPHYSICAL ANALYSIS
Buying the well or investing money in recovery without thorough and detailed Geological and Geophysical analysis, without calculating the residual reserves and financial profits, without defining the main causes of falling production rate and without determining the most effective method of treatment for increase the flow, it is a purchase "a pig in a poke".

From “Production Data” seen the beginning and the end of exploitation, monthly/daily productive inflow of oil, gas and water (extent of water flooding), the number of productive and non-productive days per month, start and end (maximum and minimum) debit, tubing pressure (internal pressure of productive formation), extent the fall of productive inflow, stops and possible transitions to the next productive intervals. Using the method of mathematical and graphical analysis it is possible to calculate the residual reserve (by oil, gas, and water) and an operating time of the well before and after re-completion, and most importantly, make the initial conclusion about the suitability of this well for recovery.
From “logging data” can be made conclusions about overlying rocks, productive and water layers, water proximity to the wellbore, previously opened/exploited intervals, identify missing productive reservoirs, percentage content of oil, gas, and water saturation, salt content, percentage content of porosity and permeability, gravity and viscosity, borehole depth (TD, TDPB), internal temperature of the productive formation, inner (ID) diameter of casing, make a correlation with neighboring oil, gas or injection wells, determine the best intervals for complete opening (re-opening) the productive formation, and lots of other important information.
