About KAPPA
KAPPA is primarily a petroleum engineering software company.
Our integrated software platform (KAPPA-Workstation) is the industry standard for the analysis of dynamic data.
It includes modules for Pressure Transient Analysis (Saphir), Rate Transient Analysis (Topaze), Multi-Purpose Numerical Modeling (Rubis), Formation Test Analysis (Azurite), Cased-Hole Logging Interpretation (Emeraude), Nodal Analysis (Grenat), and Fluid Modeling (Carbone).
Linked seamlessly to the numerical modeling in Topaze, our Completion Design Evaluation module (ORCHID) constrains the RTA model with real physics in unconventional plays.
This enables optimization of the frac program based on geometry and the resultant production.
To address the data overload arising from the advent of permanent downhole gauges KAPPA developed KAPPA-Server, a client-server solution that processes centrally and then shares permanent gauge data, production data, technical objects and various documents in a coherent environment for real-time reservoir surveillance.
In 2023, KAPPA released KAPPA-Automate, the next generation response to client requests to move beyond permanent gauge processing, and integrate automated analysis into customized workflows.
Founded in 1987, KAPPA has over 6000 active commercial software licenses used by more than 600 companies worldwide.
KAPPA is independent and 80% owned by its employees.
With its main development office in Sophia Antipolis, France, and regional offices in Houston, Bahrain, and Punta del Este, KAPPA is also present in fifteen other countries with local offices and distributors. KAPPA offers complementary Training and Consulting Services (TCS) which is based near Gatwick, UK.
It trains hundreds of engineers every year in their chosen disciplines.
