& gas research and development. Their lead-
ing team – headed by Dr. Kantzas, as well as
Vice Presidents Dr. Jonathon Bryan and Dr.
Sergey Kryuchkov – is constantly pushing
the boundaries of scientific understanding
for SCAL, EOR and Reservoir Character-
ization.
PERM has conducted more than 8,000
hours of research and development, and
completed more than 1,250 projects for sat-
isfied clients in the oil & gas field.
Dr. Kantzas describes their work as “solving
problems related to the production of oil
& gas from the ground.” Most of the time,
PERM is identifying and resolving these
problems before production even starts.
They mainly work with clients during the de-
sign phase of their reservoir projects, and use
their knowledge and real world laboratory
results to optimize reservoirs by mitigating
risk, increasing production and solving is-
sues.
