Literature Study on Cost Effective Platform for Marginal Field
1. BACKGROUND
PT. Pertamina Hulu Energi West Madura Offshore
(PHE WMO) nowadays have many marginal field
development in 30-70 meter water depth ini Madura
Offshore Area.
1. BACKGROUND
PHE WMO is trying to find concepts, which considerably
reduce the costs of these marginal field developments
and consequently make these developments
economically feasible.
Most of these marginal developments are based on the
"satellite principle", which means that existing pipeline
transportation infrastructure and production facilities in
the vicinity of the marginal field are used so that the
development costs are significantly reduced.
Marginal field infrastructure experiences need to be
collected to meet the requirements of this study. This
study typically deals with the literature study of cost
effective platform.

2. OBJECTIVE OF STUDY
This objective of this study is to analyze and
select the suitable platform (monopod, tripod
or other) for PHE WMO Marginal Field in West
Madura Offshore that have
30-70 meter water depth
about 350 tons topside weight.
This study is expected to be a guideline as
reference for development concept.

4. BREAKDOWN OF COST
4.1. Platform Cost Breakdown (1/2)
The cost breakdown of a marginal field over the various activities holds the
key to cost reduction and better insight into areas of practical improvement.
Based on historical project cost and cost estimates for current projects the
typical cost breakdown of a field development is as follows:
Field development cost breakdown: [Ref 1]
Wells = 55 %
Pipeline = 15 %
Platform = 30%
Cost can be optimized from the beginning if development cost effective
strategy is implemented. For example, a platform construction with 20
wells can be compared to two (2) platforms and 10 wells for each platform.
The second option may be better from cost aspect.

4. BREAKDOWN OF COST
4.1. Platform Cost Breakdown (2/2)
The above-table shows that the platform costs are approximately 30 of the total field
development costs. Analysis of the cost components for marginal fields shows the following
breakdown for the platform cost:
Platform cost breakdown: [Ref 1]
Design & engineering =15 %
Procurement = 15 %
Fabrication = 20%
Installation = 50%
It is noted that the cost breakdown may vary considerably depending on specific
circumstances, but it is concluded that the installation costs are the key cost driver for a
marginal platform.
These costs can in many cases amount to about 50% of the total platform costs; especially if
the installation is taking place using scarce, purpose-built and high-cost heavy lift installation
vessels.
The installation cost varies depend on structural size and weight, load out & installation
method and location water depth.

4. BREAKDOWN OF COST
4.2. Reduction of The Installation Costs
The assessment of existing platform concepts and their
cost structure led to the conclusion that the choice for
any concept is closely related to the method of
installation, as it constitutes approximately 50% of the
total support structure costs.
Recognizing the impact of the installation activity, it has
been concluded to focus on that activity to achieve cost
savings.
The three following ways have been identified to reduce
the installation costs and consequently the total cost of
a marginal field development.
