In the oil and gas industry, efficient operations are essential for maximizing productivity and profitability. One critical aspect of efficiency is ensuring that you have the right-sized equipment for your specific needs. Oversized equipment can lead to decreased profitability as underutilized equipment can be better served on wells where production rates are more correctly aligned.  


Why Right-Sized Equipment Matters 


Oversized equipment comes with a hefty price tag that impact CAPEX, OPEX and emissions. By selecting the right-sized equipment, you can significantly reduce your capital outlay on new equipment, free up valuable labor resources in the field and dramatically reduce site emissions.  



Equipment that was once sized correctly may become oversized with the decline of the well’s production; this will lead to it operating well below its capacity and potentially produce unnecessary methane and CO2 emissions. Equipment that becomes oversized for the well’s production also has excessive maintenance requirements which further impacts the bottom line. Sizing equipment to the declined output of the well will allow for more efficient operations and free up the larger, more sophisticated assets to be redeployed where they are needed. 


Considerations for Right-Sizing Equipment 


Selecting which equipment has become oversized for each pad’s production requires some careful consideration but will ultimately increase profitability by lowering operating costs.  


  1. Assess your current and future production requirements for your facility. Define the picture around mineral interests and hydrocarbon sales obligations. 
  2. Consider the specific operating conditions of your well pad, such as temperature, pressure, and flow rates, to ensure that the equipment can perform reliably under those conditions. 
  3. Evaluate the maintenance needs of different equipment options to minimize downtime and repair costs. 
  4. Prioritize safety by selecting equipment that is easy to operate and maintain, reducing the risk of accidents. 
  5. Consider current and future footprint needs for the production facility; especially scrutinize future infill drilling plans. 
  6. Analyze the permitting and goals for the facility emissions and calculate the impact of right-sizing the equipment.
