Services

From Exploration to Production Optimization

Pahvant offers a complete suite of services spanning initial prospect screening through validated drill programs and ongoing field optimization via FrostWell AI.

Exploration & Validation

Technology-Validated Exploration

Our structured exploration process takes approximately six months from initial screening to a fully validated, drill-ready technical package.

Phase 1

Desktop Due Diligence

2-4 weeks

We begin with a thorough review of regional geology, well data, production records, and publicly available geophysical data. This establishes the geological framework and identifies the most promising areas for ground-level survey.

Key Deliverables

Regional geological assessment

Public well and production data compilation

Structural and stratigraphic framework

Prospect ranking and area selection

Survey design recommendation

Phase 2

Multi-Technology Survey

4-8 weeks

Our primary survey technologies are deployed to directly detect and characterize subsurface targets. Helium-DRI reads the reservoir's natural exhaust while PMRI maps density anomalies and seismic velocity structure. Multiple independent data streams are collected from a single field campaign.

Key Deliverables

Helium-DRI surface survey and anomaly maps

PMRI sensor deployment and mechanical analysis

Passive seismic velocity profiles

Multi-method convergence assessment

Preliminary target identification

Phase 3

Data Integration & Analysis

2-4 weeks

All data streams are fused into a unified subsurface model. When multiple independent methods converge on the same target, confidence rises dramatically. We quantify uncertainty and provide clear recommendations on whether to proceed to seismic and/or drilling.

Key Deliverables

Integrated subsurface model

3D visualization and target maps

Confidence scoring for each target

Risk assessment and uncertainty quantification

Targeted seismic recommendation (if warranted)

Phase 4

Targeted Seismic (Optional)

4-8 weeks

When multi-method convergence justifies the investment, focused seismic is deployed only across validated target areas. This is a fraction of the cost of a conventional seismic-first program because we already know where to look.

Key Deliverables

Focused 2D/3D seismic program

Structural confirmation at target depth

Seismic-mechanical integration

Final target ranking

Phase 5

Drill-Ready Package

2-4 weeks

The final deliverable is a comprehensive technical package ready to support a drill decision. All evidence is compiled, targets are ranked, and drill programs are designed with specific coordinates, depths, and priorities.

Key Deliverables

Complete geological and geophysical report

Drill target recommendations with coordinates

Depth and resource estimates

Risk assessment and confidence levels

Recommended drill program (well design, depths, priorities)

Typical Timeline

~6 Months

From desktop screening to drill-ready package

FrostWell AI

Production Optimization Services

FrostWell's hybrid physics-AI simulator delivers reservoir-scale optimization for both new developments and mature producing fields.

75%

Production Increase

Faster Than Conventional

~40%

Cost Reduction

50%

ML Error Reduction

New Field Development

Build a digital reservoir model from available data — even without 3D seismic. FrostWell's hybrid approach generates actionable development plans for fields entering the appraisal or early production phase.

Deliverables

Initial reservoir model
Development scenario analysis
Optimal well placement
Production forecasts

Mature Field Optimization

Squeeze more value from producing fields. FrostWell identifies underperforming wells, optimizes injection patterns, and recommends targeted interventions to boost recovery and reduce operating costs.

Deliverables

Production history match
Intervention prioritization
Injection optimization
Infill drilling recommendations

Water Management

Optimize water injection, predict water breakthrough, and minimize water cut. FrostWell's layer-specific modeling identifies exactly where injected water goes and how to redirect it for maximum sweep efficiency.

Deliverables

Water cut forecasting
Injection pattern optimization
Conformance control recommendations
Layer-specific water tracking

Forecasting & Risk Assessment

Generate probabilistic production forecasts and assess development scenarios. FrostWell runs multiple realizations to quantify uncertainty and support capital allocation decisions.

Deliverables

Probabilistic production forecasts
P10/P50/P90 scenarios
Development economics
Risk-adjusted decision support

The FrostWell Hybrid Engine

Physics Module

Proprietary INSIM model simulates fluid flow and pressure distribution between wells using fundamental reservoir mechanics.

Machine Learning

ML algorithms adapt the physics model to real production data, reducing prediction error by approximately 50%.

Field Calibration

Continuous updates with new production, injection, and pressure data keep the model accurate as the reservoir evolves.

Beyond Oil & Gas

Multi-Resource Capabilities

Our technology platform detects more than hydrocarbons. The same deployment can identify geothermal, critical mineral, and hydrogen resources.

Geothermal Exploration

Our technology stack directly detects geothermal upwelling, maps fault conduits, and estimates subsurface temperature gradients. Applicable to conventional hydrothermal and enhanced geothermal systems.

Critical Minerals

Helium-DRI and PMRI can identify lithium brines, rare earth deposits, and mineral systems. Multi-technology validation reduces exploration risk for non-hydrocarbon resources.

Hydrogen & Helium

Natural hydrogen and helium accumulations produce distinct geophysical signatures. Our fault conduit analysis identifies migration pathways and potential accumulation zones.
