FMC Technologies provides integrated Field Development Services to our clients. Oil companies increasingly recognise and call upon FMC's expertise, experience, and technologies to enhance the development of a field from its very start. Consequently, FMC offers engineering and field design services, as well as full support in all phases of development, from commercial evaluation through concept selection, design, procurement, installation and operation.
FMC’s overall objective is to understand the project drivers and the customer’s needs from a total systems perspective, from the reservoir to topside processes, so we can provide a total system solution that optimises the drilling plan and field architecture and defines a system that satisfies the key success factors of safety, performance, operability, CAPEX, OPEX, availability and risk.
In this way FMC Technologies aims to be the preferred partner by adding value throughout the whole project life cycle, beginning with the concept selection process.
FMC provides specialist skills and expertise in a broad range of field development services, including: flow assurance, processing, field architecture, well completions, operability, pipelines/risers, manifolding, controls, installation, intervention and materials.
