Equally impressive, the team reached the milestone with zero
lost-time incident (LTI) days, the company added, saying that the journey to
these milestones started in 2019.
According to Halliburton, a customer needed to fast-track
its oil production from two drilled wells and two planned wells. It said with
support from TSS Nigeria and the global EPF team, TSS engaged with the customer
and developed a practical solution to meet the requirement for accelerated oil
production.
Halliburton built, operated, and maintained an EPF in a
remote and difficult-to-engineer area in the Niger Delta. It said this project
was the first of its kind for Halliburton Nigeria due to its complexity and
scope.
After the project kick-off, the company said the team worked
closely with the customer to execute a fast-track strategy that used existing
equipment to suit the production requirements.
“The team conducted extensive process simulations and flow
assurance calculations to verify the functionality of the fast-track EPF concept.
“The team successfully installed the EPF on barges and
sailed them to the customer location within six months of project
commencement”.
The facility, which is capable of handling 22,000 bbls of
oil per day with up to 7.5 MMscf of gas production and 5,000 bbls of water per
day, opened after successful onsite location pre-commissioning checks by the
customer and governing bodies.
“In the past three years of EPF production, we have achieved
a 10-million-barrel milestone while maintaining over 97% uptime,” said Iyen
Idienumah, Testing and Subsea country manager for Nigeria. “This is a testament
to the dedication and tireless efforts of the TSS EPF team.”
The EPF customer’s production facility manager praised the
Halliburton team for its significant contribution toward safety awareness and
its work with other contractors on the need to maintain site safety standards.
it said these efforts were an important reason the project
has experienced zero LTI days. # Halliburton Nigeria Production Facility
