The expertise of an Aberdeen global oil and gas consultancy is to be shared with a US audience as some of the industry’s vital challenges are tackled at a high-profile event.
One of the founding directors of Maxoil Solutions has been confirmed as the co-chairman of a key Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) technical session during a period in which the company’s experience in maximising efficiency is in high demand.
Wally Georgie, who founded the firm in 2004 with Mel Dow, is one of the driving forces behind the oil and gas gathering in Galveston, Texas, in October.
Some of the innovations being pioneered by Maxoil’s worldwide team will be showcased during the event, which is aimed at people in the non-conventional sector of the industry.
Mr Georgie will co-chair a session on fluid characterisation and monitoring during a workshop on flow assurance challenges in shale and tight rock developments.
It follows another key SPE event that Maxoil took part in, with the firm attending the Produced Water Handling and Management Symposium in Galveston in May.
Chris Dilley, the firm’s senior production chemist, presented on “creating an effective oil in water sampling and monitoring system”.
The importance of sampling techniques was also examined in a presentation prepared in conjunction with Maxoil’s senior production chemist Juan Carlos Picott.
At the same conference, Mr Georgie chaired a technical session looking closely at flow impediment caused by fluid phase behaviours and issues relating to production chemistry.
Mr Georgie said: “Maxoil Solutions is always pleased to present and participate at SPE events and I am looking forward to the workshop, which presents an ideal opportunity to share knowledge and experience of factors which promise to have a significant impact on field development.“
“Technical forums are an opportunity to showcase our expertise and the presentation Chris Dilley delivered was well-received, addressing another important issue in the industry.”
Maxoil has expanded from its Aberdeen roots to incorporate a base in Houston, a strong presence in Perth, Australia, and Stavanger in Norway as well as other key energy regions globally.
