The challenge of developing new oil & gas fields An increasing number of new discoveries are in remote land locked areas. Finite Resource Long distance ONSHORE pipelines represent a greater proportion of field development costs
The change in technology focus FROM THIS TO THIS
COST DRIVERS Typical Pipeline Cost Breakdown Owners Costs 20% Engineering & PM 10% Materials 30% High Strength Composite Materials Construction 40% Automated Construction Methods
COST DRIVERS Typical Pipeline Construction Cost Breakdown Pipelines Built the same way as a generation ago. No Real Improvement in productivity in 25years Manual Processes Prevail. 8 support personnel to 1 front-line worker Automation is the key, Mechanical 16% Trenching & Reinstatement 25% In-Land Logistics 24% Camps and Infrastructure 35% Managing New Technology through the project lifecycle is a challenge PIPELINE COST REDUCTION IS ACHIEVABLE
Why No Innovation for Onshore Pipelines? Client Attitudes Risk adverse on cost and Schedule Lump Sum preference Regulator Attitudes Risk adverse on safety Risk adverse on environment Contractor Attitudes Difficult to take a long term view with short term order book Existing plant & equipment Need to remove Blocks to Create Value via Innovation and Technology
