 Collaboration: Strategic Supplier
Relationships

 Production schedule sharing (both parties)

– Greater visibility with both Fabrication and on site needs
– Just-in-Time delivery on site reduces costs and storage

Relationships
• Value engineering: Opening design books for review together
– Harvesting cost savings and lead time saving options
– Also allows all parties to sit together and work through problems
(Operations, Engineering, Fabricators, etc.)

 Design Work: PSI and Hess

 Teams collaborate to modularize design

– GPU: stack line heater and separator
– Optimize size of vessels for increased efficiencies
– PLC, MCC, generator, and air compressor to one skid
– Consolidate Electrical Components, reduce field installation costs
 Additional improvements
– VRU/FGC combined to one skid
– Reduced SIMOPS during facility construction
– Optimized storage tank design

 Well Site Process Simulations and
Optimization
By taking a detailed look at actual well conditions, the benefit of Modular Packaging is
further enhanced by optimizing component design.

• Smaller Vessels
• Optimized Process
• Reduction in Components
• Reduced Heat Input Wellhead Separation Control Valves
• Smaller Footprint
• Component Cost Reductions

 Benefits of the Work

 Reduced on site construction time

– Better quality control
– Optimized crane use, less trenching, reduced welding, and
electrical
 Standardization
– Increased installation and operation efficiencies
– Decreased lead time
– Created purchasing efficiencies
 More efficient design
– Increased availability and reliability
 Reduced footprint

 Hess Facility Costs

• Cost Savings
– After initial switch: 13% savings total installed cost per well (first 3 pads)
– After 5 more pads: 29% savings from initial total installed cost per well
– Installation time reduction: 24 days on average

 How can this process
be used elsewhere?

• Vette suppliers and find strategic partners

• Review current equipment and processes together
• Seek out solutions to field problems as well as optimizations
• Implement changes on future units
• Use a planned feedback loop to continue improvement
