Development Planning involves the studies of investments and initial expenses of the project and its evolution in the life cycle of the project. The key indicators to be developed are related to CAPEX and OPEX estimates, investment and expense profiles, drilling activity profile, general schedule with milestones for review and approval of commitments. In general, the project development plan is formally developed in linear form and then the various opportunities to advance production income and reservoir risk reduction are studied. Some of these options are:
i) Study early production options to finance up-front investments,
ii) Explore options for configuring smaller processing modules to reduce the risk of diminished potential and,
iii) Schedule alternate growing options as results from appraisal drilling activities become available
CAPEX optimization
Using cost estimation tools known in the market (QUE$TOR, Aspen Capital Cost Estimator) cost optimization studies are carried out
and their corresponding effects on reliability - availability, technical risks of product quality and project execution risks.
OPEX optimization
Modeling operating costs through knowledge of the local supply chain of goods and services allows identifying the contracting strategy that allows operating optimally with acceptable reliabilityGeneral contracting strategy
Development planning involves identifying major project contracting schemes. The key elements involved are costs, execution times and risk and Environmental Permitting and Regulatory Strategy.
Project Structuring
Comprehensive knowledge of infrastructure project management, planning, design, construction, economic analysis, regulatory and environmental compliance
Project Definition
Extensive experience in elaboration, definition and execution of oil, gas and LNG infrastructure projects
Project brief estimate
Development of Class V (visualization) estimates of cost (CAPEX - OPEX), schedule and preliminary management structure and risk assessment
Frequently Asked questions
Nexta is well known for providing quick project estimates for:
- Gas treatment and compression process equipment and process interconnexion cost and schedules.
- Offshore infrastructure for oil & gas green projects or expansion configurations cost and schedule comparisons.
- Source EPC contracting services in Colombia and Venezuela.
Nexta, finds technical resources by maintaining close relationships with various communities and individuals. One of these communities is the northern Latin American engineering community. Additionally, Nexta has strong connections with alumni from both Universidad Simon Bolivar in Venezuela and MIT, as well as former engineers from PDVSA and Ecopetrol.
Nexta has vast experience with MS Office software tools (Incl. MS Project and MS Visio), IHS Markit QUE$TOR onshore / offshore / Regas, Witness Business Simulation (Lanner), Hysis (ASPEN), Finite Element Method tools (ANSYS Solid Mech - CFD), Autodesk software tools (ACAD - Inventor) and Google Sketchup. Nexta also produces purpose made web pages for clients. This web Page was made at the office from a template. See also in "Products the LNG Calculator".
Nexta's founder was involved in the early MIT offshore structures and ocean engineering research group (1978 - 1980). Thereafter, a series of subjects on structural dynamics, offshore engineering and logistic business modelling were developed during yrs 1980 - 1989.
