Client Challenge:
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.
Anvil Solution:
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.
Results:
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.
