AWT - Advanced Well Technologies, Quality through Experience.

 

Expertise & Experience

Delivery of Real Innovation

There are two core areas in which AWT applies its engineering services:

  • Field Refurbishment - optimising recovery from existing fields.
  • Field Development - from an early conceptual planning stage, with key focus on maximising value through optimised life-of-field design.

AWT is providing Well Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management (EPCM) services for the Galoc field development in the Philippines. AWT have been managing project scheduling, cost estimating, well design, tendering, contracts and procurement (for all equipment and services including the rig, boats, helicopters, supply base), invoice processing, cost tracking, wellsite procedures and operations supervision.

Conceptual field development planning, including conceptual design of a field incorporating an FPSO and a small wellhead platform (WHP) template plus an additional two outlying fields tied back with a subsea pipeline via the WHP to the FPSO.

Generation of a fully integrated Field Refurbishment Plan for a massive heavy oil field to develop production optimisation strategies. This review lead to a significant increase in the estimated field recovery factors and the identification of very significant potential undeveloped reserves in a neighbouring block. The suggested field refurbishment strategy incorporated horizontal/multi-lateral technologies.

AWT was responsible for the conceptual design, detailed engineering and management of execution of a Rigless Abandonment of the Buffalo Platform offshore Australia. This Rigless intervention resulted in a significant cost savings of ~$8 Million and dramatically diminished offshore field abandonment liabilities.

A full field review / FDP study was carried out for a cluster of onshore Middle East fields with the objective of rejuvenating these fields through maximisation of recoverable reserves, identifying ways to manage excess water production & water cuts, identifying problematic wells & providing remedial solutions and productivity enhancement opportunities with a view for new technology application. The review/study lead to a significant increase in the estimated field recovery factors and the identification of very significant potential undeveloped reserves in a neighbouring block.

Well completion and artificial lift concept selection, detailed design and implementation for ROC Oil Company Ltd's Cliff Head development which incorporates ESPs (electrical submersible pumps) deployed on CT (Coiled Tubing) on an unmanned platform. Post implementation AWT has been contracted to manage and operate the CT intervention unit under a JV with US based Superior for the life of the field.

AWT developed a complete network model encompassing 14 oil and gas fields. The model included all the fields, wells, pipelines, compressor inlet/outlet & ex-platform/landing pressures, varying gas production rates and CO2 composition in order to determine the net sales gas volumes that could be supplied to address the gas sales demand, model the gas, condensate & oil profiles at selected production systems and address the impact of the CO2 in the gas profile.

In conjunction with LEAding Edge Advantage (a UK based specialised advanced drilling technologies company), conceptual designs and detailed planning and execution of a field refurbishment programme in the Cooper Basin utilising CT (coil tubing) UBD (under balanced drilling) techniques. In another Australian first, wells are being drilled using produced hydrocarbons as drilling fluids to allow drill cuttings to flow to surface.
