From seismic acquisition to field development planning — the technical depth and multi-basin experience that makes Prime Waves a trusted partner for IOCs and indigenous operators alike.
The senior management have actively participated in several bid rounds held in Nigeria between 2000 and 2020 and have cognate experience in managing relationships with industry regulators, securing all related licenses and permits, and setting up new ventures and special purpose vehicles.
Prime Waves in partnership with its technical partners has the capacity and capability to provide quality and timely core geological, geophysics and engineering services for the upstream sector meeting both international and local clients' requirements.
As Nigeria strives for inclusive growth and equity, access to affordable, safe and reliable sources of energy requires massive investments, leading-edge technologies, the highest skilled human resources, and superior ethical business practices. It is the mixture of all these qualities that sets Prime Waves apart.

Six pillars of technical capability that underpin every engagement.
2D/3D seismic acquisition, processing, interpretation, velocity analysis, attribute analysis and subsurface geohazard assessment.
Formation evaluation, core analysis, reservoir parameter determination, thickness and sand characterization across diverse plays.
Characterization, modelling and simulation. Static and dynamic models, connectivity analysis, production planning and infill well optimization.
Gross Rock Volume calculation, STOIIP estimation, recovery factor analysis, reserves certification and prospect ranking.
Complete FDP preparation — well planning, facilities engineering, pipeline systems, production forecasting and abandonment planning.
End-to-end project delivery — concept studies, FEED, detail engineering, contracting, procurement and operational support.
A rigorous, data-driven workflow that integrates every discipline for optimal reservoir understanding and field development outcomes.
Use of past records — seismic, well log, core data — to constrain reservoir description, including structure and spatial rock property distribution models.
Characterization of global geologic continuity using novel connectivity-based parameterization techniques and field scale exploratory and production data.
Integration of measurement and model uncertainty to generate multiple plausible geologic scenarios for reservoir connectivity estimation.
Optimal injection-production scenario and infill well placement to maximize production and minimize bypassed oil.
Field application and validation with the goal of maturing technology to integration into standard workflows for major capital projects.
Reservoir studies and field development planning optimization — applied geostatistics, seismic integration and multi-objective optimization for 3D reservoir characterization.
