Light Crude Oil & Export Platform

A 100 kbpd planning concept linking offshore production, subsea transfer, stabilisation, storage and deep-water lifting.

• Reservoir and well concept connected to production profiles, flow assurance and plateau-management strategy.
• Subsea production, gathering, control and export systems selected for water depth, distance and fluid characteristics.
• Floating or shore-based processing and storage alternatives compared for schedule, operability and local infrastructure.
• Metering, custody transfer, marine loading and export scheduling designed around crude quality and vessel access.

Subsurface uncertainty, offshore integrity and spill prevention are central to the concept-selection process.

• Seismic interpretation, appraisal planning, reservoir modelling and uncertainty ranges used to define recoverable volumes and well count.
• Production chemistry, gas and water handling, corrosion, hydrate and wax management incorporated into flow-assurance design.
• Major-accident hazard studies, well control, emergency shutdown, marine collision and oil-spill response requirements.
• Decommissioning, emissions, flaring minimisation, produced-water management and marine biodiversity considerations.

Economic robustness depends on recoverable resources, uptime, development intensity, crude netback and host-country terms.

• Production and revenue profiles built from appraisal outcomes, ramp-up, plateau duration, decline and realised crude differentials.
• Concept choices compared through development cost, operating cost, schedule, recoverability and abandonment obligations.
• Fiscal, state participation, local-content, export and repatriation frameworks integrated into project economics.
• Sensitivities cover volumes, well productivity, oil price, uptime, schedule, drilling cost, inflation and financing.

The programme is structured from country and licence selection through appraisal, concept sanction and operating readiness.

• Host-government and licence alignment, data access, subsurface diligence and appraisal strategy.
• Concept select, pre-FEED, environmental and social assessment, development plan and regulatory approvals.
• Drilling, subsea, facility, terminal and marine packages coordinated through interface and assurance plans.
• Strategic operators, crude marketing, project finance, local capability and emergency-response readiness.
