The journey to these milestones started in 2019, and with support from the TSS Nigeria and global EPF team, TSS developed a practical solution to meet its clients requirement for accelerated oil production.
The Halliburton built, operated, and maintained an EPF in a remote and difficult-to-engineer area in the Niger Delta and the project was the first of its kind for Halliburton Nigeria due to its complexity and scope.
After project kick-off, the team worked closely with clients 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 barrels of oil per day, bopd with up to 7.5 million standard cubic feet of gas, MMscf of gas production and 5,000 barrels, bbl of water per day, opened after successful onsite location pre-commissioning checks by the customer and governing bodies.
