Beicip-Franlab

Activities and markets

Created by the 1992 merger of two companies founded by IFP, in 1967 and 1960, Beicip-Franlab provides global solutions in oil and gas Exploration-Production.
Its activities, almost all of them international, are organized around two main themes:
- "consulting": Beicip-Franlab performs studies to characterize basins and model petroleum deposits.
- "software": the company publishes and markets software, generally developed in association with IFP, for use in Exploration-Production studies.
 

Highlights of 2008

2008 was another very busy year for Beicip-Franlab, marked by a diversification in terms of its clients, the services sold and the countries targeted. The company performed services on a variety of giant carbonate oil fields in the Middle East, for Kuwait Oil Company, Qatar Petroleum and Saudi Aramco. Studies for major fields continued in Algeria, Angola, China, Libya, Mexico and Venezuela. New multi-year contracts were signed with several companies, including Sonatrach. A partnership agreement was begun with Petrobras on carbonate oil fields.
 
In the software field, a key feature of 2008 was the continued development of new-generation OpenFlowSuite tool versions. Revenue from maintenance increased sharply, linked to the successes obtained with FracaFlow (fractured field modeling) as well as CondorFlow and PumaFlow (reservoir simulation). Four companies joined the new-generation basin modeling project: BHP, IMP, PDVSA and Total. TemisFlow and DionisosFlow software, developed as part of this project, will expand the OpenFlowSuite range.
Finally, offices were opened in Libya and Malaysia, one of their missions being to provide technical support to clients in these regions.
