Together, NK Res2 and Firxal LDA will offer a broad range of programs and consultancy services tailored to the unique operational demands of various industries, including but not limited to:
Firxal LDA in collaboration with our network of senior geoscience and technical specialists, brings to clients a deeply experienced, multi-disciplinary team with demonstrated capability in delivering complex, high-value studies across the upstream energy sector. With decades of cumulative experience in geoscience consulting, unconventional reservoir evaluation, and advanced data interpretation, our team is uniquely positioned to deliver a technically rigorous, fit-for-purpose solution that aligns with client’s strategic vision for Angola’s sedimentary basins.
Our portfolio reflects successful delivery of similar projects in geologically analogous basins across North Africa and the Middle East, with documented expertise in structural and stratigraphic interpretation, seismic and petrophysical integration, and advanced reservoir modeling using leading software platforms such as Petrel, Techlog, Decision Space, and Kingdom. These capabilities are further supported by peer-reviewed publications and continuous involvement in industry training and knowledge transfer programs.
We are confident in our ability to support clients through professional execution, scientific integrity, and a commitment to quality deliverables that meet international standards and national priorities. We welcome the opportunity to collaborate with clients on this important and impactful initiative and look forward to contributing meaningfully to the understanding and development of Angola’s or other regions unconventional hydrocarbon potential.
