Gathering System Planning

Gas plant Construction and sizing for the second phase of a shale gas drilling program

 

Challenges:

- Second phase reserves and number of pads still variable
- Gas plant capacity planning is required for different sizing scenarios

 

Flow Diagram – Gathering System Planning

 

The gathering system for the second phase of the development project is under consideration, including the size of the gas plant and the number of pads to drill

 

 

The development plan for the second phase of development includes construction of a second gas plant and a second pad drilling program

 

The generation of a new what-if scenario can be done in a few minutes:
1 Copy the base scenario
2 Input the new key parameters to the development scenario
3 Calculate and Compare

 

 

The Key Parameters for the Second Phase of Development is Managed Through User Data

 

 

 

Comparing the different development scenarios can be conducted on an incremental basis

 

Scenario 1 (Baseline) Phase 1 - 50 MMCFPD Phase 2 – 100 MMCFPD

Scenario 2 (‘What-If’) Phase 1 - 50 MMCFPD Phase 2 – 150 MMCFPD

 

 

Incremental Results

Scenario 2 – Scenario 1

 

 

Including generating the key economic indicators to compare the options
