Our Story: Bridging Expertise with Innovation
The story of XOil Petroleum Consulting began with a simple, yet powerful premise: that the energy industry could benefit from a more agile, research-driven approach to solving its most persistent challenges.
Our founder, MR. Max (Amin) Mortezapour, spent over two decades working in the field for major international energy players across the globe, from the Middle East to Southeast Asia.
He witnessed firsthand the incredible efficiency of large corporations but also observed a gap: a need for a nimble consultancy that could quickly translate cutting-edge academic research and innovative technology into practical, cost-effective field operations.
The turning point came during Max’s involvement in a joint research program between the University of Queensland and various Coal Seam Gas (CSG) operators. There, he helped develop a novel, low-cost well abandonment solution—a project that eventually earned him the prestigious one of top 10 researchers in Asia.
As a step-up in his career, he persuaded a game changing chapter of his career with Weatherford where he experienced hand on cutting edge career in Onshore/Offshore Asia Pacific and received multiple Awards.
This experience solidified the XOil philosophy: Innovation isn’t just about big budgets; it’s about smart application of knowledge.
Established with this entrepreneurial spirit, XOil was built as a platform for industry peers, experts and researchers to collaborate seamlessly. We combine the rigorous data analysis of a research institution with the operational grit of a field service provider.
Today, XOil Petroleum Consulting is not just about engineering; we are actively engaged in the energy transition. Our commitment extends to pioneering research into efficient decarbonization technologies and leveraging the power of Artificial Intelligence to optimize reservoir performance.
Our story is defined by a dedication to integrity, innovation, and partnership. We are committed to helping our clients navigate the complex energy landscape, ensuring operational efficiency, and driving sustainable value in every project we undertake.
To achieve our promising goal toward our customers, we believe that by working together, we can power the future responsibly. We have built partnership with world class entrepreneurs, researchers, innovators, consultants and peers from 5 continents and 10 countries.
