Sketchup (3D design software) would then be used to create a feld layout, where the wells are, how “We see we’re long the pipelines are, etc. Then a manual process, in Excel, would begin, to cost the project, as well as work on fow assur- able to do double ance, freespan calculations, rocking dumping requirements, the number of etc., that would be done internally and externally in specifc simulations, e.g. Olga, etc. cases, using half “It’s a manual process that takes a lot of time and when the time. And there are more than 200 case books to look into. It takes a lot of time, so there’s little time for iterations.
