Fast-track Early Production Facility for Middle East operator

• To enable production of oil, from previously tested wells, for an operator’s field in Kurdistan
• TPF to be deployed in parallel with main EPF engineering and construction phase

• In response to delays in EPF civil work, construction, fabrication and commissioning, Expro were challenged to adapt existing equipment into a fast-track Temporary Production Facility (TPF)
• Production equipment provided included: surface safety valves, indirect (dual fuel) heater, choke manifold, horizontal separator, surge tank, transfer pumps, vertical flare stack, and stackmatch ignition system
• The TPF was constructed within 120 meters of the EPF location
• The TPF was sourced from existing inventory equipment, configured offsite and required minimal construction of site piping and ancillaries
• The TPF was set up at an existing well pad, with the crude oil produced into onsite large capacity storage tanks, then pumped onwards to the tanker loading station (TLS) (9 km away)
• Expro’s flexible and proactive approach facilitated a smooth transfer between the TPF, clientowned storage tanks and loading station, and third party vendors

• The implementation of the TPF enabled the client to collect realtime production data to appraise reservoir performance, which in turn facilitated optimal design of the more permanent and
• larger capacity EPF
• The TPF site was prepared and located 150 meters from the well and 500 meters from the pipeline – a truck tanker loading station with initial capacity of 10,000 bbl/d was constructed 9 kilometres from the TPF near the main highway to facilitate domestic sales and export
