Provision of Subject Matter Experts

As the oil and gas industry moved toward dependency on the “Big Box” integrated service companies, one unintended consequence has been selective technical support. Naturally, the Big Box companies have preferentially built their technical service capabilities around the products and services they offer. This can significantly eliminate the solutions that are considered. Even the super major oil companies have reduced their technical staff and capabilities to marginal levels. The independent oil companies’ business models are based on operating at much lower costs than the majors. They plug in Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to fill the technical gaps when needed. However, most of these SMEs are just as reliant on the Big Box companies. This means they can only serve as a third party watch dog or in an advisory capacity. PIC provides SMEs in drilling and completion fluids, sand control, fracturing, acidizing, flow assurance and are continuously building our skillset to match industry and client needs.

PIC provides the most advanced evaluation of produced fluids, deposits and reservoir mineralogy available. This includes the entire fields of chemistry, mineralogy and microbiology which enables the determination of everything from asphaltene onset pressure to bacterial DNA and speciation.

With a technical staff that averages over 40 years of experience, PIC is able to evaluate productivity problems and then design an effective process that specifically addresses the cause of the impairment. Together, we can add capacity to new wells, increase ultimate recovery and insure pipeline integrity.
