Total E&P Indonesie (TEPI) is an integrated oil and gas company based in Mahakam Delta (Mahakam PSC), East Kalimantan. The fields are mature, with declining reserves found on existing & newly drilled well. Global situation dictates oil and gas industries (Including TEPI) to adapt by controlling cost (CAPEX & OPEX). Change Culture Compete on Cost and Deliver (4C&D) becomes the daily practice as it is considered as the means to survive. The change of culture & way of working has translated into several success stories: • Installation of jumper line to unlock potential of wells. Since 2015, installation of jumper lines (instead of major piping modification) has become the base case of production debottlenecking. The method has been proven to be reliable (operation robustness), accrues minimum shortfall, while maintaining high safety level (TEPI core value). Currently, 7 jumper lines are in operation, each bringing around 9 MMScfd additional productions. • Revival of preserved facility through minimalist concept. The project demonstrates perfectly the “fit for purpose” design as the facility was revived with minimum effort, with material utilized from existing facility or existing stock. Currently, the facility is on operation, peaking with 16 MMscfd of production. • Management of material (utilizing existing stock selectively instead of procurement), by adapting design while still respecting safety requirement. One of the examples is the “fit for purpose” design for new relief system. Instead of purchasing a new set of device that was “tailor made”, design methodology and construction method is adapted to deliver the most favorable safe design. These examples are excellent demonstration that saving could work both ways: to reduce the expenditure and simultaneously gaining more production.
