Brainstorming Sessions
Fast-Track Strategy Sessions Between the A&A Consulting Team and Your Company's Project Teams of Professionals and Managers — CCS/CCUS, EOR/IOR, and Unconventional (Shale) Resources — Worldwide
Growing Demand for Brainstorming Sessions
More and more of A&A's consulting-services clients are asking for brainstorming sessions between the high-level, seasoned consultants of the A&A Consulting Team and their own company's project teams of professionals and managers, in order to quickly develop optimum strategies for their planned CCS/CCUS projects; their currently operating or planned EOR/IOR projects (with the objective of maximizing production rates, reserves recovery, and project profitability from their conventional oil & gas field assets); and for the development of their company's unconventional (shale) resources.
These sessions can be held either as standalone engagements — typically one to five days in duration — or as part of A&A's customized training workshops (usually five days in duration). A&A is glad to help in whatever format is most beneficial to our clients, whether at A&A's offices in Houston, Texas, at our clients' offices anywhere in the world, or conducted virtually.
Why A&A Brainstorming Sessions Work
• Direct access to A&A's high-level, seasoned consultants: Every session is led by senior A&A consultants with 15 to 56+ years of worldwide energy-industry experience — not junior staff — so your project team is working shoulder-to-shoulder with people who have solved similar problems before
• Fast, focused format: Rather than a lengthy, open-ended engagement, a brainstorming session is designed to produce a clear, actionable strategy in a matter of days
• Combined expertise: A&A's worldwide project experience is combined directly with your team's asset-specific and company-specific knowledge, producing pragmatic solutions tailored to your reservoirs, your data, and your constraints
• Independent, unbiased perspective: A&A does not sell reservoir-simulation software, drilling equipment, or downhole tools — our only business is expert technical consulting, so our recommendations during a brainstorming session are never influenced by a stake in any particular technology or vendor
• A low-risk first step: For clients who are not yet ready for a full consulting engagement, a brainstorming session is an efficient, low-risk way to pressure-test a strategy or a development concept before committing further resources
Session Topics
A&A's brainstorming sessions most frequently focus on:
• CCS/CCUS Project Strategy: Developing optimum strategies for planned Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) / Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) projects, including CO₂ storage/sequestration and CO₂ EOR
• EOR/IOR Strategy: Maximizing production rates, reserves recovery, and project profitability from currently operating or planned Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR)/Improved Oil Recovery (IOR) projects on conventional oil & gas field assets
• Unconventional (Shale) Resources Strategy: Developing optimum strategies for the evaluation, development, and optimization of unconventional (tight gas, shale oil & gas, coal-bed methane) resources
• Other A&A Service Areas: Brainstorming sessions can also be arranged around any of A&A's other consulting specialties — including Geothermal, Hydrogen, and Lithium resources, Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), Data Center energy solutions, and Midstream and Downstream challenges
What Your Team Walks Away With
• A clear, prioritized strategy and action plan for your company's CCS/CCUS, EOR/IOR, or unconventional-resources project
• Alignment between your project team, your management, and A&A's technical assessment of the opportunity
• A risk-mitigated technical approach, informed by decades of worldwide project experience
• A working relationship with A&A's high-level consultants that your team can call on as the project moves forward
