About Us
We pick up challenging projects that others don’t.
CO2 Sequestration
CO2 Sequestration
Long-term CO2 storage in geologic formations is an effective response to growing concerns about climate change resulting from increased carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere. The key to the effective injection of CO2 into the subsurface formations, including depleted oil and gas reservoirs for enhanced oil recovery, is a detailed characterization of the formation properties, in-situ stresses, natural fractures network, seal capacity of cap rock and formation pressure, in addition to Monitoring, Verification, and Accounting (MVA) to confirm permanent storage of CO2. These are our expertise at PETROLERN.
Geothermal Energy
Geothermal Energy
Our geothermal journey starts from converting late-stage oil and gas wells to clean geothermal energy sources using our proprietary screening platform. We also perform play fairway analysis to identify prospective geothermal resources. To maximize sustainability of geothermal reservoirs and ensure safe and cost-effective subsurface operations, we endeavor to establish the most reliable estimations of subsurface state of stress, rock properties, natural fractures, temperature, and heat flow by means of advanced analytical and numerical modeling in combination with signal processing and artificial intelligence. In PETROLERN, we believe on geothermal as the future sustainable source of clean energy.
Unconventional Resources
Unconventional Resources
We pay special attention to the optimized development of unconventional resources, including shale gas, shale oil, CBM, heavy oil, and tight gas. It is imperative that we harness the best available technologies for efficient recovery of these resources. In PETROLERN, we believe that successful production from unconventional resources requires unconventional thinking.

What Our Clients Say About Us

Geomechanics Specialist at Weatherford, Calgary, Canada
“The course was very well taught, and I found it provided a good overview of the geomechanics field. The instructor was a great catalyst in starting discussions which I think is a great way to learn. I’ll definitely keep an eye on the future courses that Petrolern will be offering.”
Moosa Rabiei
Reservoir Engineer at Nexen, Calgary, Canada
“The course was very informative, well organized and offering an abundance of practical value and take-home tips. The instructor had a close interaction with attendees, willing to fluidly answer questions and encourage class participation. I would highly recommend Petrolern’s courses for both petroleum engineers and geoscientists.”
