Collaborative Exploitation Projects

Object Reservoir, Inc. is the provider of multiple collaborative projects for the delivery of best practices for the exploitation of Shale assets throughout North America.

Participants to these Collaborative Exploitation Projects submit and share production, completion, and well design data from several of their producing wells. This data is then studied by Object Reservoir using our unrivaled expertise, Dynamic Reservoir Characterization™ process and ground breaking Resolve™ technology to formulate a complete suite of well models and best practices, to generate real understanding of the best ways of monetizing shale assets.

The Collaborative Exploitation Projects are not academic studies and focus on the rapid generation of models and results. Shared with all participants such that they can begin using them as soon as they are produced. The best practices are provided and compiled concurrently to be delivered in a complete final report.

The best practices focus on:

  • Optimal Strategies for data gathering.
  • Completion Design.
  • Stimulation.
  • Well Spacing.
  • Reserves Estimation (Partnered with leading Reserves auditor DeGolyer and MacNaughton), and best practices for turning resources into reserves.
  • Workflows to accelerate the learning curve for optimal exploitation and monetization of operators’ acreage.

Current CEPs:

The first Collaborative Exploitation Project undertaken by Object Reservoir is for the Haynesville Shale and commenced on April 1st, 2009, with 15 leading operators whose holdings represent 67% of the leased acreage in the Haynesville, and is modeling over 75 horizontal wells.

Object Reservoir, Inc. is also conducting a CEP in the Montney Shale in Western Canada with three leading operators holding over 440 sections, submitting multiple producing horizontal and vertical wells.

Object Reservoir, Inc. is now conducting a CEP in the Marcellus Shale, focused on North East Pennsylvania. There are currently 5 major Marcellus operators in this study. The project is open for additional participation for a limited time.

Future CEPs include:

  • CEP: Montney Shale 2 – Scheduled to Commence in October 2010. Please check back regularly for status updates.
