1. introduction
1.1 project descriptionOPL 283 is an onshore lease formerly operated by Elf Petroleum Nigeria Limited as OML 56 until 2005 when operatorship was transferred to Centrica Resources Nigeria Ltd. Centrica and CCC in February, 2010 divested their respective participating interests in the block to Newcross Petroleum Limited. The block is bounded in the West by Seplats OML 38, in the East by AGIPs OML 60 OPL 280 and in the North by Pan Oceans OPL 275 and in the South by OML 30. Based on current exploratory activities, Newcross has so far, identified Efe-Main as one of the prospects located within OPL 283 block. The structure was proved to be hydrocarbon bearing from the Efe-1 discovery well and subsequently appraised with Efe-2 while Efe-3 has just been drilled.Initial DST results indicated flow rates range of 350-1750 bopd per well, 42-48Deg API light crude and 1.5-18MMsc/D gas per well with 1800-3850psig on tubing. As part of plans to fast track development in the field to first oil, we desire to carry out a Front End Engineering Design for the Construction of an Early Production Facility (EPF) within OPL 283 Field. In consideration of the field size/number of wells, terrain, date to first oil, export strategy, health safety and environment, and abandonment, the following development concept is proposed:
1. Wells are predrilled using a minimum of 2000 horsepower land rig on a predetermined cellar slots
2. Well effluents flow through a multiphase flowline to a 15,000BOPD, 100MMSCFD modularized early production facility (EPF) for processing
3. Oil will be evacuated via a 42km ROW to LACT unit at Ovade / Ogharefe Flowstation facilities for metering and onward transmission to Amukpe-Escravos export line.
4. Rich gas will be evacuated via a 42km ROW for onward transmission to Ovade / Ogharefe Gas Plant for processing.1.2 DOCUMENT objectivesThe objective of the project is to carry out FEED aimed at achieving the following:
1. 15,000 BOPD and 100 MMSCFD modularized land-based oil and gas production facility with provision for future expansion.2. Oil separation, stabilization, storage and metering before being exported via an export pipeline.3. Compression of gas to the required specification and metering before transfer to the existing Pan Ocean gas plant facility at Ovade-Ogharefe, Delta State for processing.4. Produced water treatment to the standard specification for disposal or possible re-injection.

1.5 project design overview
The OPL 283 Early Production Facility shall be modularized designed with an allowance for future expansion. It is expected to gather fluids form all the wells in Efe field, some other fields within OPL 283 and other contiguous fields. It is also required to receive fluids via a four header production manifold, comprising of HP, MP, LP and test headers in order to accommodate life cycle wellhead pressures.
The fluid from the wells would flow to the inlet test / production manifold via a 4 flow lines which shall be installed during the construction and commissioning phase. Inlet manifold design would allow independent well testing through the test separator to ensure proper production allocation to the various wells. The fluids would flow from the manifold to the production processing facilities to enable it separate, stabilize, stored and metered before being exported via an export pipeline. The separators shall separate free water from the oil and remove the gas from the liquids.
The facility shall have HP, MP, LP and Test separators, inlet and outlet shutdown systems to allow EPF isolation in case of emergency or for maintenance purposes. Flexibility not to flare produced natural gas shall be incorporated in to the design; hence, there shall be connections on gas outlet piping of HP, MP, LP and Test Separator. All fluids processed shall pass through a well designed LACT unit at the battery limit to account for volumes delivered to Ovade / Ogharefe flowstation.
100 MMSCFD or more of associated gas from OPL 283 and other adjoining fields shall be compressed and sent to the existing Pan Ocean gas plant facility at Ovade-Ogharefe, Delta State for processing. The gas flow shall also be measured at the battery limit using a 10 installed Daniel Orifice Gas Meter or similar DPR accepted gas measuring device.
It is expected that the wells will produce dry for the initial 1 year, however, provision shall be made to hold up to 2% produced water in a storage tank which shall be treated to be virtually free of oil (
