Process Industry Engineering & Project Management

Process Industry Engineering & Project Management

Are you ready to take your industrial projects to the next level? Discover how our expertise and experience in industrial project management can help you streamline your processes, improve efficiency, and achieve your goals. Our team takes care of the complete organization, preparation, planning, execution and completion of your  industrial project, fully tailored to your specific requirements. 

 

Our industrial project management includes the following steps:

Project initiation
The project is initiated, establishing objectives and requirements.
STEP 01
Determination of project scope
Defining the extent and boundaries of the project.
STEP 02
Project planning
A detailed plan is developed, outlining the necessary resources, tasks, timelines and responsibilities.
STEP 03
Phasing and/or sub-projects
Breaking down the project into different phases or sub-projects for clarity.
STEP 04
Execution of activities
The actual execution of tasks and sub-projects occurs according to the project plan.
STEP 05
Project progress monitoring
Regularly monitoring and evaluating project progress to ensure it stays on schedule and meets set goals.
STEP 06
Conclusion, reporting, and delivery
The project is concluded, with any necessary reports and documentation compiled, and the final delivery takes place.
STEP 07

Clean-Up and Flowback Operations

The well clean-up or flowback process, often combined with well testing, removes contaminants such as drilling mud, sand, brines, and stimulation fluids from the flow stream. To protect production facilities from potential damage, the well is processed through our temporary well testing equipment, including cyclone desanders, sand filters, and two or three phase separators.

 

These systems handle contaminants more efficiently and flexibly than standard production facilities. Clean-outs are typically performed using coiled tubing or hydraulic workover equipment, which circulates solids from the well to the surface. During this proces, the solid HUD can be deepened or plugs are milled and removed with the aid of specialized fluids, nitrogen, and gels that assist in lifting and circulating. Our cyclone desanders and sand filters effectively remove solids while our three-phase separators manage the separation of fluids. Nitrogen and gas are safely directed to flare stacks through KO (knockout) vessels, and the fluids are carefully measured and stored in designated tanks. Meanwhile, we collect valuable data on well performance to help optimize the well testing process.

Surface Well Testing

We recognize the importance of accurate well test data for effectively managing hydrocarbon assets. Surface well testing is the definitive method for assessing reservoir potential, from exploration to appraisal wells. With our extensive fleet of advanced equipment and experienced team, we are committed to delivering reliable, high-quality results.

Multi Rate Test

Once the well is cleaned up, we can begin the well testing process, including, for example, the multi rate test. During this test, the well flow is controlled at multiple rates using our double block choke manifold. If needed, flow can pass through our heat exchanger to prevent hydrate formation or assist with fluid separation and foaming oil. 

In our three-phase separator, water, oil, and gas are separated, quantities measured, and logged. Gas flow is measured using a precise Coriolis meter, then directed through a knockout vessel and burned efficiently by our silent flare stacks or returned to production.

Water and oil are measured using industry-standard turbine flow meters. Our surge tank can be used for second-stage separation, meter calibration, and establishing shrinkage factors. From there, fluids are pumped to storage tanks for processing or disposal.

At the end of the test, the well is shut in at the choke manifold, and a pressure buildup is monitored. This provides valuable data on reservoir boundaries, permeability, and skin factor. Strategically placed transmitters throughout the system log and display the data. Our data acquisition engineer compiles a detailed report, which is presented to the client for analysis.

Return Handling Packages

Our return handling equipment can be customized and utilized for a variety of demanding jobs and challenging circumstances, including P&A support, frac flowback, pigging jobs, clean-outs, and (underbalanced) drilling.

 

We provide solids separation with our cyclone desanders and dual pot sand filters, and fluid separation with a wide range of separators, including our low and high-pressure separators or our two- and three-phase separators. Degassers can also be employed if gases are anticipated in high-volume liquid streams.
