Well hook-ups in days, not weeks

More than 90 well projects delivered for Equinor FLX project Well hook-up in approximately three days. Proven cost reductions of around 40%, with the potential to exceed 50%.

The Well Project Factory is Moreld Apply's industrialized delivery model for well topside modifications, upgrades and hook-ups. Built on extensive experience across multiple assets, it brings together dedicated well teams, standardized engineering, campaign-based execution and optimized supply-chain strategies to deliver well projects with speed, predictability and efficiency.

Turning experience into a delivery model

The strength of the Well Project Factory lies in its ability to consistently deliver results across a large portfolio of projects.

A dedicated core team follows each scope from engineering through offshore execution, supported by standardized work packages, pre-assembled materials and close collaboration with asset teams, drilling organizations and suppliers. Experience gained from every campaign is captured and applied to the next, continuously strengthening performance and execution efficiency.

Built to perform at scale

The model covers the full range of well modification activities, including instrumentation and control upgrades, gas-lift modifications, flowline upgrades and wellhead hook-ups. Campaign planning aligned with drilling schedules, combined with standardization, bulk procurement and specialized execution teams, ensures a high degree of readiness throughout the project lifecycle.

The result is a delivery model that has proven its value across multiple assets and continues to create efficiencies at portfolio level.

Results

More than 90 well projects have been delivered through the Well Project Factory, reducing well hook-up time to approximately three days and cutting project costs by around 40%, with potential savings exceeding 50%.

Standardization, dedicated well teams and campaign-based execution have transformed well modifications from individual projects into a repeatable, scalable delivery model, consistently achieving Ready for Installation within 110-120 days and accelerating the path from XMT installation to production start.

Lessons learned: Repeatability drives results

The greatest gains came from combining standardized methods, dedicated expertise and campaign-based execution within a single delivery model. This approach has enabled shorter cycle times, substantial cost reductions and highly predictable project performance across a large volume of well activities.

The experience demonstrates that when proven work processes, specialized teams and accumulated operational knowledge are brought together, performance improves with every project delivered.

That is Not Business As Usual.
