RSK's approach to technology:
Among petroleum consultants, RSK is a technology leader. Our competitive edge is gained by three fundamental approaches:
- Employing highly skilled and experienced staff.
- Fully integrating engineers and geoscientists in project teams.
- Effectively using leading edge technology.
Technology is the great multiplier of effectiveness. Although RSK utilizes the same software and hardware as other senior consulting firms, we have focused upon a real-time interdisciplinary interface to improve the results and reduce the time to solution as well as to reduce risk. The net results are superior solutions in less time and at competitive rates. RSK strives to integrate disciplines in exploration and production strategies so all viable options are considered and exploitation constraints are identified prior to execution.
Technology must have a reason. RSK invests in technology to identify by-passed opportunity, manage risk and improve performance. Given a shortage of both high quality targets and qualified geoscientists and engineers it is imperative to maximize asset potential with fewer expended man hours. This can only be accomplished through powerful modeling tools and state of the art hardware. RSK has invested in the staff and technology to operate assets at the world's highest and most effective standards.
With the objective of fostering real-time integration of geoscientists and engineers, RSK has invested in a 3D stereoscopic immersion technology. Not only is RSK one of the very first to acquire the new Galaxy technology, we are the first petroleum consultancy to have a dedicated, on the premises theater. This capacity allows RSK teams to have multiple geologic modeling, reservoir modeling and well development modeling tools operating at once on the theater screen. An integrated team can simultaneously review geology, reservoir properties, well mechanics and economics in devising development strategies that yield the highest potential return and chance of success.
RSK has a dedicated IT (Information Technology) specialist with an engineering degree and 20+ years of experience at senior IT levels in telecommunications, finance and oil & gas to manage our small but sophisticated IT program. With our specific interdisciplinary requirements professional in-house IT expertise assures RSK of meeting its IT goals.
Technology needs to do more than offer more calculations faster; it needs to be able to communicate ideas. RSK judges technology by not only industry standards but by how well it facilitates communication among the technical team, with management and ultimately the client. Our goal is to empower the asset manager to make capital decisions with confidence. We judge technology by its ability to facilitate analysis of complex interrelated parameters and capacity to provide simple, easily understood solutions, risk analysis and economic potential in record time. RSK uses tools with the power of those used by the super-major energy companies. However, as a small entity we can put the power of technology to work without bureaucratic inertia.
