Revamping and Optimization
Revamp projects are an important part in the lifecycle of any plant. A proactive approach, good communication, high-value engineering, and integrated team effort are keys to successful execution of any revamp project. PetroPlat’s highly qualified and experienced design engineers play a crucial role in the execution team. It is the execution team’s responsibility to develop a smart approach that can fit within the constraints imposed by the existing systems and facility, to avoid further challenges. Successful execution always requires:
- A healthy approach to understand the existing facility design and as-built documentation
- Proactive coordination and involvement of operations
- Robust planning
- Stage-wise reviews of all engineering deliverables with construction
- Commissioning and operations personnel
- Effective project management to control and monitor the overall project execution plan
In PetroPlat, production optimization is essentially” production control” where we minimize, maximize or target production of oil, gas and perhaps water. For example, we can easily maximize or target the production of oil and/or gas while minimizing water or run oil production and gas-oil ratio (GOR) to setpoints to maintain reservoir energy. There is a myriad of alternative production objectives. Since each well, platform or field is quite different from the other, a flexible means of controlling production is provided accordingly.
