Validating a Critical Well Design for Performance and Compliance
Suriname’s state-owned oil company, producing approximately 25,000 barrels of oil per day (BOPD), aimed to deliver a cost-effective injector well design that met both functional requirements and international well integrity standards.
To ensure the design met its objectives, the company sought expert validation and potential redesign recommendations.
EnergyEdge’s Role
EnergyEdge was brought into the project to conduct a comprehensive design review and provide engineering guidance. The team was tasked with:
- Reviewing and commenting on proposed injector and wellhead designs
- Assessing suitability, functionality, and cost-effectiveness
- Providing written justifications for any design modifications
- Ensuring alignment with industry best practices and integrity standards
Where required, EnergyEdge offered re-engineered design alternatives to better meet technical, operational, and economic goals.
Deliverables: Detailed Engineering Report
At the conclusion of the engagement, EnergyEdge delivered a structured digital engineering report that included:
- Executive Summary
- Technical Summary
- Analysis Methodology and Workflow Description
- Key Assumptions
- Results and Findings
- Conclusions and Actionable Recommendations
Outcome: Improved Design and Implementation Guidance
The final outcome of the project was a refined version of the well design, optimised for both performance and integrity. EnergyEdge also recommended a shortlist of equipment providers, enabling local engineering teams to access advanced technologies and implement the design efficiently.
Conclusion
Through detailed technical review and strategic recommendations, EnergyEdge helped Suriname’s state oil company reduce risk, improve design efficiency, and maintain compliance—all while supporting cost-effective execution.
