Halliburton Nigeria Production Facility Reaches 10m Barrels
Halliburton Testing and Subsea (TSS) Nigeria celebrates two significant milestones; an early production facility (EPF) recently processed its 10 million barrels of oil, the company said in a statement.
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 Reaches 10m Barrels Nigerian Banks Give Fresh Update on Naira Swap
