Kent Peters

Production Engineering Advisor

Kent has 35 years of broad oil and gas experience of proven track record with a focus on production and development engineering of adding profitable production and reserves. His experience includes a dozen years of field based experience (in various locations across Alberta and Saskatchewan) with a focus on safety performance, operational results and cost reductions. In the later part of his career, he focused on evaluation, planning and execution of both new pool and existing pool development in both conventional and unconventional reservoirs.  Kent is very familiar with evaluation and design of all forms of artificial lift and he is able to provide designs, comparisons and economic evaluations of various designs (using Prosper modelling). Additionally, due to his wealth of experience, Kent can provide a recommendation that balances practicality and economics.
