The Concept Engineering Services include Surface Engineering concept identification, concept development and concept optimisation. With applying these services, technically feasible Surface Engineering Concepts will be delivered to a level of engineering details which enables cost estimates and project schedules to be prepared for the concepts. Enabling the risks associated with each surface concept to be understood and managed within the context of the integrated upstream projects, is another advantage of these services.
In the past, Concept Engineering in the Upstream Projects was a specialism within Process Engineering. However, Concept Engineering has developed over the years into a leadership role for Surface Engineering in the FEL1 and FEL2 Phases. This has been recognized and Concept Engineering is now considered a challenging career path, leading a Surface Development Team in the initial phases of the E&P project development within the NAPTA’s PDS®.
Depends on the technical subject areas needed to be covered in the Surface Development Team, NAPTA is capable to provide fit for purpose services ensuring the best in class decision makers are in place to pick up the most competitive and integrated surface facilities in the Scope Development Phase. With this, it can guarantee an integrated decision-based upstream projects development, delivery and of course reliable and inherently value creation operation. Typical Concept Engineering Services, that NAPTA Corporation can provide, have been briefed as follows:
