Concept & Feasibility Studies

CONCEPT & FEASITBILITY STUDIES

Elixir team is highly experienced to carry out concept & feasibility studies which empowers all our clients to make informed decisions about their future growth plans. We will highlight all the risks involved in new developmental projects at the early stage of the projects and advise any possible changes required to save cost on re-work during execution. Ultimately the investment into the study will pay itself back easily with fewer risks & better chances of success.

CONCEPTUAL ENGINEERING

Elixir team have been involved in many Conceptual Engineering Studies where the initial technical concepts were further explored and defined and systematic documentation was generated in terms Process Selection Report (CSR) as deliverable. With the documentation from Elixir clients should be able to achieve more precise definition, a better cost estimate and, ultimately, a scope of work for FEED providing the link between field development planning and FEED.

The scale of a Conceptual Engineering can vary dramatically depending on the nature of the project.  Regardless of scale, the activities include: 

  • Identifying the options and developing the schemes for each option.
  • Technology selection required for each option
  • Issue of enquiries for major equipment.
  • Cost estimating and economic assessment 
  • Risk assessment involved in each option
  • Options evaluation (techno economic)  based on defined weightage  
  • Preliminary P&ID development 
  • Layout development 
  • Preparation of preliminary project schedule 
  • Project execution plan and contracting strategy finalisation 
  • Preparation of survey scopes of work, tendering and management of the work 
  • Basis of design update 
  • FEED Scope of Work 

As a result, the Concept Selection Report (CSR) with a selected option in which:  

  • Final option selection is made;  
  • Risks and uncertainties are understood and mitigated where appropriate;  
  • The execution approach, cost estimate, budgets and schedules are clear and complete.
