WELL COMPLETIONS
Sand Control and Hydraulic Fracture Stimulation are well completions processes that have a significant impact on a well’s or field’s productivity. Evaluating the reservoir for application of these technologies as well as designing the application itself requires vast experience in completion practices and a specific set of engineering tools to arrive at a design that maximizes production economically. Sutera has vast experience in both Sand Control and Hydraulic Fracture Stimulation technologies, and together with our associates, PetroTecsol and DuneFront, we are able to evaluate a given reservoir to establish development strategies and specific designs for implementation.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Sub-Surface evaluations are performed by a team of domain specialists where effective management of the project scope and deliverables fall on the Project Manager. Sutera has the ability to provide robust Project Management of Sub-Surface evaluations, having managed several high profile projects for Operators in AsiaPac.
- HPHT completion interval selection, Hydraulic Fracture design, production estimation and completions method recommendation
- Evaluation of reservoirs for implementing Hydraulic Fracturing in Malaysia
- Evaluation of Hydraulic Fracture Stimulation to develop a subsea offshore asset
- Deep Water Sand Control evaluation design and execution recommendation in Australia
PRODUCTION ENHANCEMENT
Throughout the productive life of the reservoir, Production Enhancement evaluations and technologies are employed to maintain and maximize production from a given asset. These services range from evaluations to determine the current health of the asset, to assessing production potential and feasible intervention activities to maintain production. The Production Enhancement areas that Sutera has invaluable experience in are listed below.
- Sub-Surface Consulting for Mature Field revitalization
- Coiled Tubing and Well Intervention applications consultancy
- Acid Stimulation evaluation, design and optimization consultancy
- Water and Gas shut-off technologies, evaluation, design and applications consultancy

CAPABILITY DEVELOPMENT
Human capital resource development is crucial for the sustainability of the industry, particularly in the current challenged commodity price environment. Operators and Service Providers alike have cut deeply to reset their operations towards profitability. As the industry rebounds from this trough, the demand for employees armed with the necessary skills and knowledge will increase. To this end, Sutera has developed a menu of Well Completions and Production Enhancement courses that can be readily customized to suit specific Customer skill level requirements.
