FIELD DEVELOPMENT PLANNING

At the heart of our service offering is our ability to provide field development planning expertise. We create a realistic and practical work plan and set up a sound internal business processes. For a given field development planning assignment we adopt a strict methodology to obtain the optimum development scenario:

   Obtain a clear understanding of all drivers and constraints.
   Ensure that business objectives, for example economic hurdle criteria, are fully understood by all parties.
   Adopt a holistic approach, which recognizes the commercial, marketing, subsurface and surface engineering constraints and opportunities.
   Formulate a robust and realistic plan in order to minimize reworking of a solution.

We create outline options of possible architectures and product export routes for a field development recognizing the risks and uncertainties of the reservoir, its properties and volumetrics.

Screening against mutually agreed decision criteria including cost estimate and project economics provides a quantitative decision basis for selection of the optimum development scenario.

We also offer specialist technical assistance such as screening development options at drilling proposal stage, technology survey and evaluation for a given field development and process design and flow assurance studies for gathering systems and central processing plants.

We offer a genuinely integrated approach, planning from reservoir to market.
