SERAFIM Limited is a company that specialises in solving non-standard problems in engineering, mathematics and programming. Clients include major oil companies such as Shell BP, fast growing independent oil companies such ADDAX, engineering companies such as Stolt, and a range of consultancies.
The motivation behind the work of SERAFIM is the notion that, in order to solve practical problems, it is necessary to understand them. This understanding can best be built up through a combination of knowledge, computer modelling and the application of mathematical reasoning.

Our History

A start from a vision
SERAFIM Ltd was established in 1999 by a group of reservoir engineering professionals who shared the same vision: to help clients increase their returns by utilising the full value of mathematical thinking and methods in solving complex interconnected problems. We specifically work with Asset Managers, Senior Reservoir Engineers and Project Economists, and tend to recruit self-motivated team-players who have strong academic background in science and/or engineering and advanced mathematical skills.

Since its establishment SERAFIM Ltd grew rapidly and achieved the following major milestones:

• The successful development of the pioneering Integrated Asset Model for Reservoir Engineers: SERAFIM Future®
• The completion of numerous Reservoir Engineering and mathematics projects in 8 countries and four continents
• The successful launch of a new business line: SERAFIM Perimeter® with the aim to use our unique combination of skills in order to integrate our clients’ Petroleum Engineering Information Systems and to increase their data analysis capabilities
• The publication of several SPE papers and white papers
• The completion of research projects which led to the development of pioneering methods in Investment Appraisal and Reservoir Engineering
• The delivery of numerous training courses in Reservoir Engineering and Quantitative Methods
• The development of a strong reputation in the industry that led to regular invitations to our staff to deliver speeches in prominent technical conferences.

Our drivers for progress
SERAFIM Ltd has strived since the beginning to deliver a high quality service that adds tangible value to its clients, and to fulfil its promises. We have built a faithful clients base. Strong relationships have allowed us to understand our clients’ business and to build on their strengths so that our innovative solutions (RE and or Information Management) are built around their feedback and successfully implemented and sustained.
