About Taqa
3
Canadian Unit headquartered in Calgary, AB
Focus on Conventional O&G
Business Highlights
- 2P Reserves of >300mm bbl
- Average Daily Production of > 75,000 bbl/d
Multi Well Pad Design - WHY
4
Geological
- Montney formations
- Multiple pay zones
- Technology
- Using horizontal fracking methods to access pay zones
- Scalability & Standardization
- Common template for company
- Ease of development with contractors
- Efficiency
- Cost
- Time
Our Template – 2/3/4/5 Well Pads
5
- Wellhead, Wellhead stand, ESD
- Individual separators with 200 bbl water tanks
- SCADA Tower, PLC, Solar System
Well Head Design
6
- Standard Well head
- Standard wellhead height
- Spacing 10m between wellheads
Well Head Design
7
- Removable platform that bolts on to wellhead
- Standard hydraulic ESD and wellhead transmitters
- ESD Valve Mounted within 1 meter to isolate well during loss of
containment from sand erosion
Automation and Communication
8
- Standard PLC control system
- Solar panels with battery boxes
- 40’ Mast to Company Network
Automation and Communication
9
- System can be controlled Remotely
- All devices are hard wired to PLC
Separator Design
10
- 600 ANSI, threaded sweet Design
- Three Phase separation,
- Building for Cold Weather Design
- High Level and Low Level Switches
- Basket Strainers on condy and Water
Legs
- 200 BBL water tanks with integral
methanol tanks
Separator Design
11
- Proving taps
- 200 bbl water tank
- Water dumps directly to tank
- Condy dumps to pipeline
- Back pressure valve
Mounted low for maintenance
Separator Design
12
- Vertical separator
- Electric level switch's with
manual test button
- Electric level controllers
- Turbine meter for water
- Turbine meter for condy
Chemical Injection
13
- Pipeline Chemical
- Wellhead chemical
- Single pump for two sources
- Chemical tank is integral part
of water tank
- Tank Level Gauges Inside
Building
Reduce On Site Cycle Time
14
- Entire Well site facility can be pre built
- Separators prewired skid package
- Pipe rack modular with break flanges
Reduce On Site Cycle Time
15
- Platforms & Piping prebuilt
- Reduced travel time for workers to site
- Driving is one of the largest risks faced by our staff
Project Cost Efficiencies
16
- Bulk purchase of materials
- Engineering costs significant reduction
- Fabrication to specification reduce/eliminate overtime
- Work onsite
- assembly, bolt up and pre commissioning
- Repairs & Maintenance
- One master set of parts applicable to all sites
Key Components to Design
17
SAFETY A Safe Facility for Our Operations Team
- Sand Probe Installed
- ESD Mounted Close to Wellhead
- Blast Tee’s used between Well head and Separator
- Keep it simple
RELIABILITY A reliable Facility to keep production flowing
- Heated and enclosed separator’s and Utility buildings
- Fully Automated
- Facility is completely electronically controlled and can be controlled
remotely
The TAQA Template Our Learnings
18
- ESD Valve is Mounted within 1 meter to isolate well during loss of
containment from sand erosion
- Wellhead platform is removable to allow for service rig to move in
and out quicker
- Separators are designed as three phase with condy shipped in
gathering line and water is tanked and trucked
- rack design to allow for easy operability
- Continual learning. Working toward a LEGO® set for each well pad
Closing Thoughts – Multi Well Pad Design
19
- Better Risk Mitigation Standard build and operation of facilities
- Standardization Plug & Play components
- Cost Efficiencies Reduced cost per well
- Cycle Time Less time onsite per well
- Training Plug and Play personnel
- Scalability Increase # of wells per location as required
