KAPPA | January 07, 2022

Kappa Engineering SA (KAPPA), a reservoir and production engineering software company, announces the acquisition of Reveal Energy Services (Reveal), a leader in integrated diagnostics and completion evaluation.

"We appreciate the KAPPA team's confidence in our company, and we're excited about joining them to further the industry's completion and reservoir engineering domain knowledge. By developing more powerful data analysis solutions with our combined expertise, operators can achieve even greater asset value,We're grateful for the industry's acceptance of our services and software during the past six years."

-Sudhendu Kashikar, CEO of Reveal Energy Services.

With the help of Reveal's team, the integration of ORCHID® in the KAPPA software portfolio will add completion information and diagnostics to our current handling of production data. It will be particularly useful in the context of unconventional plays," said Olivier Houzé, KAPPA's Managing Director. "Reveal's elastic models to characterize fractures will also complement KAPPA's diffusion models for the interpretation of pressure and production data. This will result in more efficient workflows by integrating completion diagnostic, reservoir and production data on a single platform, a decades-long challenge for the industry. This development axis complements and will ultimately converge with our global move towards Automation.
