CONSULTING SERVICES
​Since 1986, Richard and Susan Johnson have provided consulting services to oil and gas companies with a focus on interpreting oilfield water analyses. Our expertise began with the publication of our catalogue, “Formation Waters of Western Canada.” Over the years, we have worked with all major oil companies in Alberta, numerous smaller firms, and several international organizations. Our consulting experience spans a global reach, including projects in the Middle East, South America, the United States, Asia, Australia, Africa, and Europe. 

CONSULTING FOCUS

Our clients typically seek assistance in determining whether they are recovering formation water or a completion fluid. At times, companies require clarification on whether the water in question could be originating from a different geological zone.
