Avoiding Overdesign: Flexible Design over the Lifecycle | AIChE

Session Chair:

Session Description:

Production process demands are dynamic for the duration of a field's economic life (initial, plateau and decline). This session will attempt to address how we assess the economic and process risks of fixed verses modular designs to provide for flexible, safe and profitable asset development aligned with these variable production profiles and uncertainties.
