Scotia recently signed a two year contract as the Burgos Basin Subsurface Advisor for Pemex. We have a multi-disciplinary team in Reynosa working with Pemex to increase gas production to 1.4 Bcf/day.

We continue our reservoir studies in Venezuela. ProJeito, with a presence in Mexico and Venezuela, has been appointed our agent for Latin America. David Casas 011/5289 24 21 91.

We completed a reservoir study on a complex carbonate field in New Mexico using 3-D visualization techniques we developed. Results of this study were published in World Oil. Our inexpensive 3-D Visualization techniques can be used for visualizing any form of X Y Z data at a fraction of the cost of traditional methods.

We recently completed field screening studies using in-house software to evaluate requirements for additional field development. Call Patrick Lowry 214/987-1042.

Scotia is currently pursuing a major West African State Oil Company to provide subsurface advisory services in support of improved exploration. This is another example of the role of multi-disciplinary teamwork for the industry.

Scotia engineers are assisting several clients evaluating acquisition opportunities, working directly with in-house evaluation teams.

Let us help you to reverse or arrest natural production decline in your large oil & gas fields with our in-house screening software system, RESWIZ. Call and ask about our seminars on this phenomenon. Jim Merkel 214/987-1042.

Scotia has completed a study of 35 wells producing from various sands in the Delaware Group in southeastern New Mexico. This project involved the computer aided analysis of available log data and the compilation of completion and test data which were annotated on the interpretation log plots. Completion practices of the former operator made it difficult to know the contribution of the various sands to the total production volume. Statistical analysis and mapping of hydrocarbon pore volume of all pay sands in the Delaware assisted the operator in allocating production. Also, by linking databases containing the log based pay and perforation information, uncompleted pay opportunities were identified. Our client is currently moving forward with the selection of recompletion and new drill opportunities assisted by our recommendations.

Scotia is committed to strategic alliances as a way of broadening the service we offer to industry. Past and current alliances with the following companies allow Scotia to offer not only a greater range of services, but substantial man power availability.

• ARC - reservoir characterization
• BEG @ UT - geology
• Dames & Moore - environmental
• Interpretation3 - geophysics
• Pinnacle Technologies - hydraulic fracturing
• Worley International - facilities

Scotia assisted in the TransTexas Gas bankruptcy, providing expert witness and evaluation services.

Scotia is pleased to welcome Lynne Goodoff to our team in Houston. Lynne will act as Principal Geophysicist & will be a great addition to our team in the Burgos Basin.
