PARTIAL PROCESSINGUnlocking Production from Mature and Marginal Fields
ePROCESS PARTIAL PROCESSING SYSTEMS OFFER AN INNOVATIVE SOLUTION TO CREATE SPARE CAPACITY IN THE EXISTING FIELD INFRASTRUCTURE TO ALLOW OPERATORS TO INCREASE THEIR PRODUCTION BY GAME CHANGING FACTORS.
Operators of mature or marginal fields
increasingly struggle to maintain production
against an ever rising water cut. The infield
flowliness between WHPs amd CPPs and the
downstream processing facilities on the CPP
become bottlenecked which stifles oil production
due to the rise in total fluids.
A eProcess Partial Processing system, retrofitted
onto a WHP, can separate, treat and discharge a
proportion of the water phase directly from the
multiphase production manifold fluids. Removing
produced water before it enters the topsides
facilities creates spare processing capacity,
allowing the operator to significantly increase
oil production using its existing, and unmodified
production infrastructure.
Wellhead platforms are typically small, have very
limited spare space, are unmanned and have
almost no utility systems. To meet these
restrictions, eProcess Partial Processing systems
are compact, self sufficient, robust, flexible,
intelligent and require minimal utilities to operate.

APPLICATIONS• Mature Field Developments with High Water Cut Production;
• Infield transfer flowlines between WHP and CPP or Onshore
Facilities - liquid constrained;
• Process plant on CPPs operating above design capacity – liquid
constrained.
BENEFITS• Separate / Treat up to 95% of the Production Manifold water phase;
• Reduces back pressure on existing producing wells;
• Recover “lost” production from shut in high water cut wells;
• Increase existing facility capacity - bring new/side-tracked wells
online;
• Increase production and enhance the economics of mature and
marginal fields.
OPERATIONS• Applications can be technically verified with Small Scale Field
Test units;
• Systems fully automated and controlled by PLC based
control system;
• Fully intelligent & responds to changes in separated water quality,
online well portfolio and export pressure dynamics;
• Systems tuned to cope with changing fluid production profiles
over field life;
• Separated Produced Water treated to customer defined
discharge quality – typically
