Natural Gas Development Project - Processing Facility Design
Context
A major natural gas development project in South America required new processing facilities to handle variable feed composition from multiple wells, seasonal demand fluctuations, and export commitments to LNG terminals.
Value Delivered
Engineering team could evaluate thousands of design scenarios with full visibility to capital cost, operational efficiency, reliability risk, and market delivery capability. The model informed final investment decisions exceeding $1B.
Digital Asset Scope
Full process simulation from wellhead to product delivery
Compressor configuration optimization across mixed wet/dry gas scenarios
Heat exchanger network design accounting for seasonal ambient conditions
Reliability modeling for critical equipment (compressors, separators, dehydration units)
Market delivery simulation linking production capacity to LNG contract obligations
Economic evaluation across capital configurations and operational strategies
