Feasibility Studies
Preliminary Investigation
- Route Optimization
- Work Pad Evaluation
- Site Accessibility and Pipe Layout Consideration
Production Rate Evaluation and Scheduling Forecast
- Accurate Project Budgeting and Schedule Forecasting supported by Entec's databases
- Internal Key Performance Indicator Tracking to verify data used in budget and schedule forecasts
Geo Technical Evaluation
Options for Geotechnical Investigation
Boreholes to identify
- Lithology (Rock or soil types)
- Stratigraphy
- Unconfined compressive strengths
- Potential Penetration rates
- Identification of potential fluid loss zones
- Packer Tests to identify
- Potential fluid loss zones
- Maximum annular pressure for the drill path
3-D Seismic Data, Resistivity and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to identify consistency of stratigraphy
- Information on the size and extent of fractures in three dimensions
- Anomalies such as boulders, caverns and density pockets
Environmental Studies
Hydrological Investigation
Identifies
- In-stream flow rates
- Water body depth
- Potential scour depth
- 100 yr flood levels
- Ground water conditions
Environmental Investigation
Identifies potential impact to:
- Fish habitat
- Water quality
- Wildlife
