Extending the Life of a Mature Field
The Incahuasi field is one of Bolivia's most important gas production assets. Incahuasi began its natural decline in 2022, going from a capacity of 11 million SM³/day to a current production of 7.3 million. Sustaining that level required interventions in the plant, not the wells.
The solution consisted of reassigning one of the export compressors to low pressure service, located upstream of the process train. This change of configuration—from Parallel compressors to a serial alignment—reduced inlet pressure and eliminated bottlenecks, without the need to modify existing heat exchange trains.
