BitCan offers integrated services covering field tests and monitoring, laboratory studies and numerical simulations. Major scope of services is as follows:

Reservoir Geomechanics

• Innovations in in-situ development of unconventional reservoirs such as heavy oil and oil sands.

• Analysis and design on overburden integrity, sealing capacity of the overburden for reservoir stimulation, hydrocarbon storage, subsurface waste disposal, CO2 sequestration, and etc.

• Geomechanical characterization and coupled geomechanical reservoir simulation for naturally fractured reservoirs.

• Reservoir compaction, changes in reservoir compressibility and ultimate reservoir access and utilization.

• Coupled geomechanical reservoir simulation.

• Design on infill well drilling, completion and stimulation.

Geomechanical Monitoring

• Design, manage and interpret geomechanical monitoring, such as surface heave, subsurface deformation, micro-seismicity and groundwater microdynamics. We offer combined InSAR imaging/GPS/surface leveling/tiltmeter network to monitor cm or mm-level surface deformation.

• Our unique advantages are: We employ numerical simulations to study the detailed mechanisms of the monitored indices and therefore, can cost-effectively design the monitoring network accordingly.

Research and Development

• In proactive utilization of geomechanical process for well completion, stimulation and reservoir development.
