We are the shale experts, providing proven engineering and consulting on where to drill, where to frac and how to frac since 1999.
About APEX PETROLEUM ENGINEERING
APEX Petroleum Engineering is a privately-owned petroleum engineering service provider based in Denver, CO. Founded in 1999 by John Harkrider, Mitch Kniffin, Bill Anthony, and Jeff Jordan who bring decades of combined experience, patent holds, and published papers.
Combined, our team has experience in over 100 formations in 50 plus major producing basins. We have supervised 50,000 stages across 12,000 wells.
We seek to excel at maximizing client assets – increasing production, saving time, and reducing waste. We believe in keeping teams safe and in our responsibility to the environment. We do all of this by innovating through science and state-of-the-art integration solutions.
We are committed to helping our clients outperform their neighbors in every basin. Our business model has been to demonstrate success and create long-term partnerships. We look forward to becoming your trusted team of experts, and an essential extension of your own team.
Description of Services
APEX Petroleum Engineering is an earth model driven completion design, modeling, and wellsite execution consultancy. Our services are designed as a workflow in support of this and can also be selected à la carte per the service categories below.
- Asset Evaluation
APEX Petroleum Engineering performs economic evaluation analysis of potential development projects including drilling opportunities, workovers, facilities and field expansions.
- Drilling & Operations Engineering
APEX Petroleum Engineering bridges the gap between drilling and production engineering by designing the drilling program to interface with practical completion solutions that are tailored to specific reservoir conditions.
- Petrophysical & Geomechanical Analysis
APEX Petroleum Engineering’s reservoir characterization workflow begins with a detailed mineral based petrophysical model that drives geomechanical modeling and frac design.
- Seismically Constrained Reservoir Characterization
APEX Petroleum Engineering specializes in integrating geology, petrophysics, and geomechanics into a seismically constrained reservoir model of an unconventional asset.
- Neural Net Driven Geological Modeling
APEX Petroleum Engineering uses a machine learning algorithm to identify subtle, nonlinear relationships between log properties and seismic attributes so that geologic properties can be accurately propagated through the model.
- Frac Simulation & Completion Design Optimization
APEX Petroleum Engineering delivers earth model driven frac designs through an economic optimization process that relates propped fracture length to the corresponding production response.
- Reservoir Engineering & Modeling
APEX Petroleum Engineering performs classical reservoir engineering studies to help our clients get the most out of their reservoirs.
- Wellsite Engineering
APEX Petroleum Engineering provides real-time well site frac supervision services to micromanage pressures, proppants, fluid chemistry, and equipment to ensure your completion design objectives are achieved.
- Production Enhancement Studies
APEX Petroleum Engineering provides production enhancement studies that analyze completions, wellbore integrity, stimulation work, and production history to determine the current and future viability of a well or intervention project.
- Technical Training & In-house Engineering Consultation
APEX Petroleum Engineering provides in-house or on-location training for hydraulic fracturing, completion design, and geomechanics. From entry level to advanced users, our training curriculum can be customized to meet your exact needs.
