Field Development Solutions

'Working with you to identify the field development solution that maximises the value of a project and minimises the risks, utilising our world leading data and information resources and powerful project evaluation tools.'

Why Field Development Solutions?
Development of the operational facilities around an oil or gas field is the single largest investment an operator will make during the lifetime of the field. A pro-active, professional and comprehensive approach to the planning stages can realise significant savings during later stages of the project life cycle.

The IHS approach - thorough evaluation and analysis for maximum value from field or asset
IHS Consulting will work with you to put together a team to realise the optimum value from your field or asset. We will identify the requirements and then select a development solution. This will incorporate new technology options, solving production, logistics, construction or local content issues and presenting the solutions to authorities and stakeholders.

Whether it is a single well extension or a super giant development, from reservoir to market delivery, onshore or in the new deepwater frontier areas, jungle or arctic conditions, we can assist from the very early planning stages through to final decommissioning ensuring that the development progresses to the optimum plan.
