  • PARTIAL PROCESSINGUnlocking Production from Mature and Marginal Fields

    ePROCESS PARTIAL PROCESSING SYSTEMS OFFER AN INNOVATIVE SOLUTION TO CREATE SPARE CAPACITY IN THE EXISTING FIELD INFRASTRUCTURE TO ALLOW OPERATORS TO INCREASE THEIR PRODUCTION BY GAME CHANGING FACTORS.

    Operators of mature or marginal fields

    increasingly struggle to maintain production

    against an ever rising water cut. The infield

    flowliness between WHPs amd CPPs and the

    downstream processing facilities on the CPP

    become bottlenecked which stifles oil production

    due to the rise in total fluids.

    A eProcess Partial Processing system, retrofitted

    onto a WHP, can separate, treat and discharge a

    proportion of the water phase directly from the

    multiphase production manifold fluids. Removing

    produced water before it enters the topsides

    facilities creates spare processing capacity,

    allowing the operator to significantly increase

    oil production using its existing, and unmodified

    production infrastructure.

    Wellhead platforms are typically small, have very

    limited spare space, are unmanned and have

    almost no utility systems. To meet these

    restrictions, eProcess Partial Processing systems

    are compact, self sufficient, robust, flexible,

    intelligent and require minimal utilities to operate.

  • APPLICATIONS• Mature Field Developments with High Water Cut Production;

    • Infield transfer flowlines between WHP and CPP or Onshore

    Facilities - liquid constrained;

    • Process plant on CPPs operating above design capacity – liquid

    constrained.

    BENEFITS• Separate / Treat up to 95% of the Production Manifold water phase;

    • Reduces back pressure on existing producing wells;

    • Recover “lost” production from shut in high water cut wells;

    • Increase existing facility capacity - bring new/side-tracked wells

    online;

    • Increase production and enhance the economics of mature and

    marginal fields.

    OPERATIONS• Applications can be technically verified with Small Scale Field

    Test units;

    • Systems fully automated and controlled by PLC based

    control system;

    • Fully intelligent & responds to changes in separated water quality,

    online well portfolio and export pressure dynamics;

    • Systems tuned to cope with changing fluid production profiles

    over field life;

    • Separated Produced Water treated to customer defined

    discharge quality – typically
