Upstream | Field Development Phase

The development stage takes place after successfully completing the


appraisal period and before the beginning of the field production.

Field Development Plans (FDPs) provide the necessary support for field
optimization, and include all activities and processes required to
optimally develop a field.

In general, development activities and processes involves:

• environmental impact, geophysics, geology, reservoir and


production engineering, infrastructure, well design and
construction, completion design, surface facilities, economics and
risk assessment

In particular, the activities and people involved in the development stage

• define a precise Field Development Plan (FDP) – geologists,


geophysicists and reservoir engineers
• decide the best production/injection well placement and design –
drilling engineers, reservoir engineers, geologists
• select the optimal production facilities required to properly
process hydrocarbons before their treatment – production
engineers, reservoir engineers, facilities engineers
• choose the transport options and route to export oil and gas –
logistics engineers

Typical Process Plant for Field Development –  Technip

The development of an oil and gas field costs millions of dollars and may
require long time (5-10 years) to be fully realized.

Costs and duration of the development phase depends on the location


of the field, the size and complexity of the facilities, and the number of
wells needed to achieve the production and economic targets.

A FDP must consider:

• Objectives of the development


• Petroleum engineering data
• Operating and maintenance objectives
• Description of the engineering facilities
• Cost and manpower estimates
• Project planning budget proposal

Once the field development plan is approved and before the beginning
of production, some actions follow:

• Detailed design of the facilities


• Procurement of the materials of construction
• Fabrication of the facilities
• Installation of the facilities
