Oil & Gas Concept Selection

 

Having confirmed feasibility and initiated the field development planning phase, we can now perform conceptual engineering.
 
The objective of conceptual engineering for oil and gas fields is to derive an optimum techno-economical concept for design and implementation.
 
EPConsult Energies has significant experience in performing conceptual engineering with the ultimate goal of concept selection and conceptual design. We have offshore and onshore experience from the North Sea, Europe, Middle East and Africa. Our multi-disciplinary teams of experts work in integrated teams to develop the optimum conceptual design for your oil or gas field.
 
This phase of your project is our opportunity for innovation. This is when the cost of change is small – so we explore smart developments, new oil and gas technologies and all alternative operational philosophies.
 
During conceptual engineering we perform similar activities as during the feasibility study – but in greater detail. We typically develop a base case, on which we develop optional concepts and present these to you in a conceptual selection matrix.
 

 

 

Deliverables from our conceptual engineering consultancy services are:

  • Conceptual engineering report: typically includes development engineering; conceptual selection; technology review; facilities definition using HYSYS simulation, facility cost estimate, project controls;  Risks, HSE, Schedule; CAPEX and OPEX oil and gas estimates, and Economics

  • Field development plan

  • FEED Basis of Design

  • FEED Scope of Work

The above is our standard approach. However clients and developments are different – and often require a bespoke approach dependent on different drivers. 

We are experts at conducting conceptual engineering for our clients. Our Energy Consultancy Services provide you with advice on the best strategy and structure for the development engineering phase of your project. In addition we have great experience in supporting our clients with contracting and tendering.

Conceptual engineering may include value engineering as a tool to help derive the best concept for the development.
