Neotechnology Consultants Ltd. (Neotec) is a Canadian company with its headquarters located in Calgary, Alberta and international offices in Houston, TX; London, U.K.; and Perth, Australia. Led by a team of executive owners, Neotec supplies fluid flow modeling software, expertise, and education to our clients. Our software is used by over 300 companies in 30 countries around the world. Neotec also provides specialty services in the form of custom software development, consulting, and advanced training and education for engineering personnel in the areas of multiphase flow, gas field deliverability forecasting, and analysis of underbalanced drilling. From our world-wide offices, Neotec staff support our clients using the software to enhance their decision making process, improve pipeline, well and field design and to optimize production, thus improving their profitability and competitiveness in the marketplace.

The Neotec Advantage

We are recognized internationally for our expertise in multiphase flow. Our technology was originally developed in 1968 in conjunction with research at the University of Calgary by Dr. Garry Gregory and Dr. Khalid Aziz. Very shortly thereafter, at the request of industry, the products became available for commercial use. Over the past 36 years, they have been continually enhanced and developed by experts to be the hydraulic software of choice for many of the world's leading oil, gas, service, and consulting companies. Where appropriate, all of the Neotec software takes full advantage of our expertise in single and multiphase flow. Continuous development of the software with new capabilities and methods ensure that our clients are benefiting from the best in class technology. Changes to the software often incorporate suggestions and recommendations from users. This reflects Neotec's ongoing commitment to providing its clients with current technology in a highly user-oriented form. Practical experience gained through more than three decades of consulting projects around the world also enhance Neotec's ability to deliver practical, user-friendly, proven software solutions to our clients. Neotec's software has been used for onshore and offshore projects in every major hydrocarbon producing area of the world by both large and small oil and gas companies, consultants, service companies, pipeline construction companies, fabricators, and government regulatory agencies.

Neotec Software

WELLFLO

Production/injection well hydraulics and thermal effects

Neotec's WELLFLO has been widely accepted to model single and multiphase flow in wells. Three specialty interfaces allow users to quickly create and analyze the performance of their well while maintaining the accuracy of the same reliable calculation engine.

PIPEFLO

Pipeline and gathering system hydraulics and thermal effects

Neotec's PIPEFLO has been used by the international oil and gas industry for over 30 years. Many of the world's longest and largest pipelines and gathering systems (including complex looped systems) have been designed with PIPEFLO.

FORGAS

Gas and Oil field production forecasting and development scheduling

FORGAS has been used commercially for more than 20 years. An integrated solution allows you to quickly and easily build a model of your gas field in order to evaluate various development strategies such as adding compression or drilling wells.

PIPESYS

Pipeline hydraulics module for HYSYS, the process simulator from Aspen Technology Inc., and UniSim Design, the process simulator from Honeywell Inc.

Best-in-Class Alliance Partner Technology

FLASH

Phase behaviour and transport properties for compositional fluids from Aspen Technology Inc. and Virtual Materials Group are embedded in WELLFLO, PIPEFLO, and FORGAS

HYDRATE

From DBR Oilphase, a division of Schlumberger, predict predicts gas/liquid hydrate formation conditions in the absence or presence of hydrate inhibitors. Hydrate warning calculations are embedded in WELLFLO, PIPEFLO, and FORGAS

OLGAS 2-PHASE

SPT Group's mechanistic model available for use with WELLFLO, PIPEFLO, and FORGAS

RESERVOIR MODELS

FORGAS can be linked with 3D reservoir models:

– IMEX and GEM (Computer Modelling Group)
– ECLIPSE (Schlumberger)

Documentation

All Neotec software includes a comprehensive on-line user manual. Quick Start Guides, tutorials, and Quality Assurance files allow even inexperienced users to perform complex technical calculations and analysis quickly and easily, with a minimum of instruction. Also included are detailed Technical Notes, databases of conversion factors, units, tubing/casing dimensions, etc.

Licensing Flexibility

All Neotec software is available under various licensing options for both stand-alone licenses or network (LAN/WAN) systems.

Consulting Services

Neotec personnel have served as fluid hydraulics and thermal analysis consultants on numerous major and minor oil and gas pipeline and production/injection well-related projects. Our clients have included oil and gas producing companies, pipeline companies, consulting firms, contracting firms, and government agencies. Geographically, these projects, which involve both onshore and offshore systems, have been widely distributed throughout North America, Europe, the North Sea, Middle East, and Southeast Asia. Consulting services can involve Neotec personnel in actually performing complete studies of varying scope, or simply assisting clients with performing, or reviewing the results of such studies.

Educational Services

Neotec regularly offers a variety of technical short courses:
– Single Phase and Multiphase Flow in Oil and Gas Pipelines and Wells
– Gas Field Production Forecasting
– The Application of WELLFLO to Underbalanced Drilling Analysis

These courses have all been taught in various locations around the world. Venues have included Canada, the United States, England, Scotland, Norway, Singapore, Australia, Bolivia, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain.

Any of the above courses can be presented on an in-house basis to individual companies. Neotec will also prepare and present specialized in-house short courses which cover various aspects of single phase and multiphase flow, pipeline design and analysis, well design and analysis, gas deliverability, and other related topics, so as to suit particular requirements. Quotations can be provided upon request on an individual basis.
