Both operators and engineering contractors are faced with substantial challenges when planning a new oil or gas field development. How the separation of oil, gas, water and sand is handled may have substantial impact on the CAPEX and OPEX.
We offer field development studies that assist in planning how the field will be operated from first oil has been achieved to the mature production phases. We have expertise to assist with difficult operational challenges such as
- low reservoir pressure
- high water cut and
- potential use of the infrastructure to tie in new fields
In close cooperation with operators we establish a good processing system that will work successful all through the field’s lifetime while also achieving an attractive CAPEX and OPEX. We have in depth experiences on the requirements and flexibilities of separation technology. Our expertise includes use of advanced vessel internals and InLine separation technology, both for topside and subsea processing. With our assistance the operators and engineering contractors get the best separation solution for the field based on required evaluations. We both work with independent cases as well as integrated in teams together with the operator and system engineering contractors. Early involvement design can enable substantial production optimization and cost savings when new fields are being developed.
