Oil & Gas Software

X-SPM TM Efficiency

Data Management

Provides standardised, structured, and organised simulation data and project documentation.

Process

Delivers an intuitive environment/cockpit for simulation engineers to edit/manipulate, copy, run, track, document, view, and analyse models.

Insight

Monitor models and compare results live. Make decisions faster with less re-work and wasted effort.

X-SPM TM Quality

Data Management

Projects are organised, self-contained, portable, and shareable. More time spent engineering, less time spent on data management.

Process

Automates simulation engineering workflows reducing potential errors and mistakes. provides a “common language” for simulation project management that allows engineers to focus on engineering in a multi-simulator environment.

Insight

Users can collaborate on shared projects while supervisors have oversight throughout the project life. Feedback underpins continuous improvement.

X-SPM TM Assurance

Data Management

A project contains the complete history from beginning to end and can easily be managed, handed over, shared, reviewed, archived, and retained.

Process

Delivers real time oversight facilitating making corrections early in the process.

Insight

Know what decisions were made, why, and by whom. The audit trail provides the foundation for functional quality assurance.

Meet the Team

X Systems’ subsurface team is uniquely comprised of consultants who have spent a large part of their
consulting careers working on the giant carbonate reservoirs of the Middle East.

Nigel Brock

CEO

Mr. Nigel is highly skilled reservoir engineer with 28 years of experience in the oil industry, in particular a very high level of expertise in compositional and black oil reservoir simulation using NEXUS, VIP and ECLIPSE, field development planning, well testing, petrophysics, production monitoring and economic analysis. This was initially gained working offshore Australia but latterly in Vietnam, Kuwait, Yemen, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Algeria and the United Arab Emirates. Has a strong background in performing reservoir engineering evaluations, devising development strategies for offshore and onshore oil and gas fields, petroleum asset management, contract negotiation and management and supervising professional teams.

Seyamak Gholam Zadeh

Principal Reservoir Engineer

Mr. Seyamak has over 21 years of reservoir engineering experience working for both operating and consulting companies. Seyamak has been responsible for delivering many field development plans for some of the most challenging Abu Dhabi reservoirs as well as for other operators in the Gulf region. He is an expert in numerical simulation across multiple platforms, including VIP, Nexus and Eclipse. Seyamak has also gained extensive experience in classical reservoir engineering, well testing and production modelling.

Colin Engle

Principal Reservoir Engineer

Mr. Colin is a reservoir engineer with 18 years of petroleum industry experience working for operating and consulting companies. Colin brings extensive experience in reservoir flow simulation, uncertainty and optimization analysis and management, reservoir management, and field development planning. He has worked on reservoirs from across the Eastern Hemisphere including the Middle East, North Sea, Central Europe, Former Soviet Union, North Africa, Central Africa, and Far East. He has a proven track record of delivering results to a high standard and on time.

Diyar Barzanji

Principal Reservoir Engineer

Mr. Diyar is an experienced reservoir engineer with a strong background in reservoir simulation and project management. His areas of expertise range from field development planning to project evaluation and economics. This experience was initially gained with ExxonMobil Australia and further complemented by joining Halliburton’s Centre of Excellence for Reservoir Performance (CERP) in Abu Dhabi-U.A.E focusing on conducting field development studies for giant Middle East carbonate reservoirs. Diyar has a particular interested in fluid characterisation and PVT analysis which has proved invaluable when working on the massive EOR projects planned for Abu Dhabi.

Serdar Kaya

Principal Geomodeller

Mr. Serdar is a geological consultant with 15 years of petroleum industry experience working as a reservoir engineer and geomodelling expert. Serdar’s experience spanning the engineering and geoscience domains has proven invaluable in being able to deliver high quality static models that also meet the needs of the numerical simulation team. He has developed customized work flows that are particularly suited to the giant carbonate reservoirs in the Middle East. Serdar also has considerable skills in training and mentoring.

Zehra Dogan

Geomodeller

Ms. Zehra is a geomodeller in the early stages of her petroleum industry career who has already shown the ability to build and manage geomodels for giant Middle Eastern Carbonate reservoirs. By combining an education in seismic interpretation and her rapidly developing skills in geology, Zehra has been able to produce highly accurate and practically useful geological models.
