SYNOPSIS
Field Development Plan (FDP) is one of the major documents that Oil & Gas operators put together to realize a vision of an optimized method to develop a field. This is the beginning of a field development after the exploration phase, of what we see from the producing fields all around the world. This is a process that can take a very long time and a multi-disciplinary effort with information/requirement that comes the host government, local governmental agencies, joint-venture partners, and service contractors.
The objectives of this talk is to give the audience an idea of what FDP is and the process it takes to complete the document.
We shall be covering an overview of what FDP is, the contents and what does it take to produce such document. FDP is a document that talks about the Geological and Geophysical analysis, Reservoir Development and Management, Production Forecast, Infrastructure and Surface Facilities, Drilling and Completion Design, Petroleum Economics, and most importantly in any O&G projects, the Risk Assessment and HSEQ.
In this process, some of analyses that need to be made are determining the number of wells to be drilled to reach production objectives, establish the recovery techniques to be used to extract the fluids within the reservoir, comparing the type and cost of infrastructure installations, design the separation systems for gas and fluids and knowing what kind of treatment systems needed to preserve the environment. Most of the FDP these days must also include the plan and estimated cost to abandon the field in the future
