Australian International Petro-Consultants - Geological Support Services to the Petroleum Industry

Australian International Petro-Consultants (AIPC) provides geological support services to the petroleum industry. The company has access to petroleum exploration geologists, all of whom have developed vast experience in the industry.

AIPC may provide the flexibility to an exploration programme that is paramount for keeping costs at the wellsite within budget without compromising data quality. All geologists on offer from the company can supervise the implementation of the geological programme and are always aware of the need to extract as much pertinent data at the wellsite as possible, as this is one of the cornerstones for future decisions on the viability of any play.

These include the heli-lift operations on the mountain tops of Papua New Guinea to the deepwater turbidite plays of West Africa and the long reach wells off Sakhalin Island.

Specific wellsite expertise includes hydrocarbon show evaluation in water-based and oil-based drilling fluid systems, wireline logging supervision, LWD supervision and geosteering, quick-look log interpretation and the compilation of final well reports and composite well logs.

AIPC operations geologists are aware that good communication between the wellsite, asset team and drilling departments are critical to a smooth and successful drilling and evaluation operation.
