Description
Tankless full field development project for unconventional oilfield:
- Greenfield development
- 15 wells pads spread out across an ample area
- Constrained investment timeline
Challenge
- Significant production of associated gas
- Stringent GHG emission regulations
- Treated fluids (gas, oil, water) to comply with midstream specs
- Stringent RVP specs
- Staged development required to match investment curve
Project Development
- Assessment of configuration alternatives for the gathering network for multiphasic and single-phase options
- Development of distributed and centralized processing facilities alternatives
- CAPEX and OPEX assessment to weight options
- Design of all the required process equipment
Outcome
- Developed tankless facilities concept to reduce emissions
- Designed modular facilities concept to allow investment constraints and track production objectives
- Embedded equipment relocation schedule to reduce CAPEX
- Take-Away: future proof, reliable facilities developed to minimize upfront CAPEX, immobilized HCs stock and reduced total carbon footprint
