If your business needs to tap into the expertise offered by oil and gas management consultants, it is beneficial to learn a bit about the industry so you can "talk the talk" when interviewing and negotiating a contract.

Completion engineering

Completion engineers design and implement techniques to help maximize the production of oil and gas using completion techniques. These engineers are experts in determining the best way to extract oil from an area, given the nature or type of the well or reservoir. Oil and gas management consultants will often interface with completion engineering companies.
Chevron's website provides many details about a career in completion engineering.

Reservoir management

Reservoir management is used to manage new oil and gas field development, or to revive life into older ones. Oil and gas consultants work with reservoir management experts to use remote sensors and simulation modeling. Techniques like these have been shown to maximize the amount of oil and gas retrieved from a field.

Oil and gas assets

Many companies need the services of an oil and gas management consultant in order to buy or sell a company in the industry. An analysis of a company's oil and gas assets must be completed before it can be sold. An oil and gas assets listing is similar to a business valuation report in that it analyzes everything about a company and lists it for all to see.

Consultants with this expertise will assist in maximizing a potential oil or gas revenue opportunity via risk analysis, an appraisal process that includes reservoir modelling, in addition to other analyses and calculations.
