Abstract
ABSTRACT
The expiration of the design service life of production facilities at Field X necessitates an assessment of the economic efficiency of capital (CAPEX) and operating (OPEX) expenditures associated with the upgrade of process facilities, as well as the development of recommendations for optimizing investment decisions, taking into account the forecasted decline in production and the prospects for further field development.
This study is based on data from the development project of Field X and is aimed at substantiating optimal technical and economic solutions that ensure the efficient utilization of existing infrastructure and an increase in the overall profitability of field development.
In the course of the research, a new concept for the development of Field X was formulated, forecast values of CAPEX and OPEX were calculated, and an economic assessment was performed using incremental analysis.
