Early Production Facility

An Early Production Facility (EPF) is a modularized integrated solution for oil and gas production that enables customers to start oil/gas production on a fast-track basis.

EPFs are preferred by several oil and gas operators for marginal field development or to quickly monetize the fields prior to installation of a permanent facility. This provides financial and operational benefits for oil and gas production.

Apex’s Complete Production Facility

Apex offers the Complete Production Facility, comprising oil, gas, and produced water treatment trains compliant with environmental regulation. These facilities are designed for a long operational life with the required infrastructure, storage, pipelines, and utility systems. They can also be offered as a modular solution up to a certain size to minimize site engagement. The size ranges between 5,000 and 60,000 barrels per day.
