Fast-Track Solution: Innovative Well Testing for Optimized Production

Innovative Well Testing provides a fast-track solution designed to bring newly drilled wells online quickly and efficiently, optimizing production performance from the outset.

Customer Challenges

The client urgently required a fast-track production start-up solution to bring their newly drilled wells online quickly.

Following the successful initial deployment of a high-capacity 15K BOPD / 35 MMSCFD package, the client collaborated with APEX to replicate and deploy the solution across multiple new sites.

Apex Excellence: Integrated and Rapid Deployment

APEX provided a fully integrated, engineered process solution that combined rapid equipment delivery with cutting-edge monitoring technology, enabling first oil faster than conventional methods.

  • Rapid Equipment Delivery: APEX delivered a high-capacity 15K BOPD test separator package, complete with export pumps and site utilities, sourced from existing inventory on a fast-track schedule. This enabled the customer to achieve first oil within just 10 weeks.
  • Non-Intrusive Monitoring: Utilizing non-intrusive sonar metering technology, APEX installed meters at each customer satellite facility. This setup allowed for real-time analysis of separator flow conditions, troubleshooting, and root cause identification without disrupting production.
  • Enhanced Separation: The engineered process solution provided optimal control and enhanced separation efficiency, helping the customer achieve increased production across multiple sites.
  • 24/7 Remote Analysis: Implementation of real-time data monitoring significantly improved production efficiency and productivity by enabling continuous, 24/7 remote analysis of flow parameters.
  • Integrated Expertise: The project team delivered a fully integrated solution, supported by APEX’s technologies and in-house reservoir and engineering expertise, to help the customer achieve optimal production performance.

Value to the Client

APEX’s fast-track approach and integrated technology provided immediate and sustained benefits to the client:

  • Accelerated First Oil: The solution enabled the customer to achieve first oil from the initial site in just 10 weeks.
  • Early Production Gains: Fast-track equipment delivery from existing inventory allowed the customer to realize early incremental production gains.
  • Increased Production and Uptime: The client achieved over 35% increased production across multiple new sites and maintained more than 91% production uptime efficiency.
  • Continuous Oversight: APEX’s real-time data monitoring, processing, and logging system provided continuous 24/7 oversight of production from multiple sites.
  • Zero Interruption: Initial check metering was conducted using APEX’s non-intrusive clamp-on sonar technology, ensuring no interruption or loss of production.
