Frequently Asked Questions

DeepReserv offers comprehensive geological consulting services including subsurface assessment and geological mapping, reservoir simulation and analysis, extraction process planning and optimization, equipment performance monitoring, and environmental sustainability reviews. We work with clients across all phases of the asset lifecycle, from exploration and appraisal through development, production, and eventual abandonment. Our multidisciplinary team combines expertise in geology, reservoir engineering, geophysics, and environmental science to deliver integrated solutions tailored to each client's specific operational needs.

Data confidentiality is paramount in our business. All DeepReserv employees sign comprehensive confidentiality agreements as a condition of employment. We maintain strict information security protocols including secure data storage systems, access controls, encrypted file transfers, and dedicated project workspaces that prevent information sharing between client engagements. Client data is never disclosed to third parties without explicit authorization, except where required by law or professional regulatory obligations. Upon project completion, we follow agreed-upon data retention or return protocols as specified in service agreements.

Project timelines vary significantly based on scope, complexity, and data availability. Simple reservoir screening studies may be completed within 2-4 weeks, while comprehensive field development plans or detailed reservoir simulation projects can span several months. During our initial consultation, we assess your specific requirements, review available data, and provide a detailed work program with realistic timelines. We prioritize meeting project deadlines while maintaining rigorous technical quality standards. For urgent needs, we can often accommodate expedited schedules with additional resource allocation.

Sustainability is integrated into all aspects of our consulting approach. We conduct environmental impact assessments for proposed developments, evaluate emission reduction opportunities including methane capture and flaring minimization, assess water conservation and recycling strategies, recommend technologies that improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon intensity, and ensure compliance with environmental regulations and industry best practices. Our goal is to help clients balance operational objectives with environmental stewardship, recognizing that responsible resource development requires long-term thinking and proactive sustainability planning.

Safety is our top priority. All DeepReserv field personnel maintain current safety certifications including H2S Alive, First Aid, and relevant industry-specific training. Before any fieldwork, we conduct comprehensive hazard assessments, develop site-specific safety plans, ensure appropriate personal protective equipment is provided and used, establish emergency response protocols, and conduct safety briefings with all team members. We adhere to client safety requirements and regulatory standards, maintaining a zero-tolerance policy for unsafe practices. Our safety record reflects our commitment—we have maintained an incident-free operational history throughout our 18 years in business.

Absolutely. We routinely integrate existing geological models, reservoir studies, well data, and previous analyses into our work. Leveraging existing information is both efficient and economical, providing continuity and building upon prior technical investment. During project initiation, we review available data quality, identify gaps or uncertainties, and determine what additional analysis may be required. We can work with industry-standard data formats and software platforms, or we can convert and reprocess data as needed. Our objective is to maximize value from existing assets while bringing fresh perspectives and updated methodologies to enhance understanding.

Yes. While our head office is located in Calgary, Alberta, we provide geological consulting services throughout Western and Eastern Canada. Our team has extensive experience in major producing basins including the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin, Montney and Duvernay formations, heavy oil deposits, offshore Atlantic Canada, and unconventional resource plays. We regularly deploy field teams to remote locations and maintain flexibility to work on-site at client facilities or conduct analysis remotely from our Calgary office. Geographic distance does not limit our ability to deliver high-quality technical support.

Continuous learning and technology adoption are core to our business strategy. Our technical staff regularly attend industry conferences and training workshops, maintain professional development through courses and certifications, participate in technical committees and industry working groups, subscribe to leading technical journals and publications, and invest in state-of-the-art software and analytical tools. We actively monitor emerging technologies such as machine learning applications, real-time data analytics, and advanced simulation methods, evaluating their applicability to client challenges. This commitment to technical excellence ensures our clients benefit from the latest innovations in geological science and reservoir engineering.
