Expro’s zero flaring Early Production Facility: a sustainable solution for remote wells

Our zero-flaring early production facility provides a sustainable solution for remote wells in North Africa, maximizing returns and reducing emissions.

Dual-train EPF rapid production, reducing flaring & costs, and enhancing safety and monitoring.

In the remote regions of North Africa, an operator faced significant challenges in monetizing production due to the lack of pipeline infrastructure for export. The wells present logistical difficulties in deploying people, maintaining process control, and providing ongoing production monitoring.

We were commissioned to design, plan, and deliver a dual-train Early Production Facility (EPF) system, implemented in phases to accelerate production.

The combined benefit of reducing costs and reducing flaring contributed significantly to the project’s sustainability. Integrating enhanced data acquisition and interpretation technology improved safety. 

Our EPF system eliminated unnecessary flaring while increasing oil production by 50,000 barrels a day from remote, previously inaccessible wells. Process efficiency improvements due to increasing automation, data adoption, and satellite communication led to a 30% reduction in energy consumption.
