Introduction
MARGINAL FIELD Definition

A field that may not produce enough net income to make it worth
developing at a given time; should technical or economic conditions
change, such a field may become commercial.
A field may be categorized as marginal under the following
considerations:
Reservoir size (small volume)
Lack of infrastructure / technology
Inaccessibility to the area- remoteness
Fiscal policy
Market for gas
Cost of development

Challenges & strategy of in-house

development

Challenges
Fields are smaller in size with lesser in-place HC
Short producing life

Limited G&G and reservoir data

Logistically difficult, Isolated areas, presence of H2S , CO2
Short life cycle
Overall project economics - marginal

B-193: Glimpses of Offshore Construction

B-193 Process Platform: Living Quarter(AQ) & the Process
Platform(AP).
The deck weight of B 193 LQ deck is 7800 Tons and process platform
deck is 13500 tons. Both the decks were fabricated in Pasir Gudang
yard of Sime Darby.
The float over installation is normally carried out for the decks
weighing more than 7000 tons.
The integrated deck is fabricated in the yard and towed out to the preinstalled jackets and then floated between the jacket legs until the
mating points between the deck and the jacket are aligned. The deck
is then lowered onto the jacket by ballasting the barge and adjusting
hydraulic jacks by which the deck load is progressively transferred
from the barge to the jacket. The barge moves between the jacket
during high tide and after installation of deck and transfer of load on
jacket , it is taken out during low tide. This process of moving the deck
into position over the jacket is a very precise & slow operation and
takes around 12 hours to accomplish.

Summary & conclusions

Summary & conclusions

ONGCs approach of offshore marginal field development
is at par with international practices.
96% of inplace reserves are accounted for in the in- house
development of Western Offshore Marginal fields
Majority of fields have been put on production and all the
possible in-house monetization efforts for 37 fields will be
completed by March 2015.
The current production is 40,000 bopd and 9 MMscmd of
gas in Western Offshore.
The technology induction (floatover and sour gas
processing) will go a long way in future developments.
