The client wanted to install nineteen well-facilities onto a single distribution pad. Using bulk separation across similar locations is not uncommon, however many facilities may only use up to four wells on a single pad to reduce production costs and lessen their environmental footprint. The proposed nineteen well-facility was an exceptional challenge for the Anvil team of designers and engineers.
Maintaining our client’s rigorous schedule while working on a project of this scope required our team to find innovative procurement solutions, such as implementing a modular-piping approach. Our engineers designed a ‘bolt-up facility’ for our client, fabricating modules off-site that could be delivered and easily installed on location. Anvil also proposed engineered helical piles that could be installed during extreme cold temperatures at a lower cost, allowing modules to be set as soon as they arrived on site.
The use of modular design, paired with Anvil’s common processing facilities approach, shrunk the footprint of our client’s site by a factor of 3x, reducing environmental impact and cost. Project construction time was reduced from 3 months to 1 month, while the Anvil design allowed the client to stagger their well-development plan, creating significant business flexibility to meet customer growth.
