See the whole production system before making the compression decision.
Integrate reservoir, well, gathering network, process and compressor behaviour to determine where production is constrained, when compression is required and which field-development option creates the strongest life-of-field outcome.
A compressor cannot be optimised in isolation from the asset it serves.
Reservoir decline, well deliverability, gathering-system hydraulics, separator pressures, pipeline backpressure, process constraints and compressor operating envelopes all interact. Analysing one element in isolation can produce a technically sound answer to the wrong problem.
The production system is connected
ETA links the elements that influence production so the compression decision reflects the behaviour of the whole asset.
Engineering evidence for the next investment decision.
Life-of-field production forecast
Understand how candidate compression strategies influence future production performance.
Compression duty definition
Define flow, suction and discharge pressures, power and operating envelope as conditions evolve.
Constraint identification
Quantify where production is limited and distinguish compressor constraints from system constraints.
Option comparison
Compare central, field, wellhead or staged compression concepts on a consistent basis.
Phasing strategy
Identify triggers for additional trains, rewheels, modifications or new pressure stages.
Decision-ready recommendation
Translate modelling results into a practical recommendation for concept selection or FID.
From integrated model to compression strategy.
The model is not the end product. Its purpose is to support a better engineering and investment decision.
Define the decision
Clarify the production problem, decision criteria, field horizon and commercial question.
Build / validate the model
Integrate reservoir, wells, gathering network, process facilities and compressor behaviour.
Benchmark the base case
Establish current and future constraints before testing new equipment or modifications.
Test development options
Evaluate compression location, timing, capacity, configuration and operating strategy.
Translate to a roadmap
Recommend the preferred strategy, decision triggers, risks and next engineering actions.
Best suited to decisions where compression and production interact.
Field-development planning
Assess future compression requirements before selecting or revising a development concept.
Post-plateau decline
Determine how compression can sustain production as pressure and well deliverability decline.
Brownfield debottlenecking
Test whether the real constraint lies in wells, flowlines, facilities, compressors or export systems.
Compression concept selection
Provide system-level evidence for CONCEPTCOMPRESSOR™ option screening and selection.
Concept revalidation
Update the basis when pressures, reserves, forecasts or operating assumptions have changed.
CAPEX justification
Connect a compression investment to production recovery, timing and field-life value.
A specialist capability supporting multiple ETA decisions.
IAM should be positioned as a technical capability beneath the relevant service or Decision Tool—not as a standalone software exercise.
CONCEPTCOMPRESSOR™
Uses IAM to support compression concept selection, timing, capacity and life-of-field strategy.
modgas™
Uses integrated analysis to locate production constraints and test brownfield redesign options.
CompressorDoc™
Provides wider system context where compressor performance or reliability problems may have external causes.
Before adding compression, prove what the production system actually needs.
