Field Development Planning
Having a field development plan (FDP) in place is critical for navigating all phases of an oil and gas project, from exploration to decommissioning while considering technical, economic, environmental, and social implications. This strategic document serves as a comprehensive outline for optimizing development while identifying and managing risks associated with the project. Experts can create static and dynamic models of oil and gas reservoirs and use these models to compare alternatives for development scenarios.
We can provide multi-disciplinary teams of consulting experts to complete the various stages of a field development plan including:
- Geophysical and Geological Studies: Assessing subsurface structures and field geology. Conduct seismic surveys. Execution of exploration, appraisal and development drilling programs to reduce uncertainty and mitigate risk. Plan and analyze formation evaluation data. Create static models.
- Reservoir Engineering: Characterizing the reservoir, predicting its behavior, and optimizing production. Estimating the recoverable reserves and resources. Create dynamic models.
- Well Design and Construction: Planning the location, type, and completion of wells.
Surface Facilities: Designing and building the necessary infrastructure for production, processing, and transportation. Drill wells and conduct production tests. - Surface Facilities and Infrastructure: Concept selection for production facility. Designing and building the necessary infrastructure for production, processing, and transportation.
- Economic Analysis: Evaluating the economic viability of the project and optimizing production and cost.
- Project Management: Planning and executing the project in a timely and cost-effective manner. Appraise and delineate field.
- Reservoir Management: Surveillance, analysis, and optimization of field performance. Implementation of artificial lift and compression if appropriate. Execution of primary, secondary and tertiary recovery alternatives to enhance ultimate recovery.
- Abandonment and Decommissioning Plan: Plug and abandonment of wells, remove surface facilities, conduct site reclamation and environmental remediation as needed to restore to native state.
