Expert’s Corner Paper 2013-02 How to easily estimate the duration of an Oil Gas EPC Project by Hervé Baron Did you know that OilGasfacilities projects have all the same critical path? Well, if you think about it, you will easily realize that what takes the most time in their completion is their piping. Thanks to a number of rule-of-thumb estimates that can be added to this observation, it is easy to deduct what is the duration of an EPC project in the Oil Gas field, and what are the parameters that actually drive this duration. In this unique groundbreaking paper, Hervé Baron reveals key fundamentals that will be useful to any Project Manager in Oil Gas EPC projects. Capital Projects have become so big and complex nowadays that it is easy to lose sight of what drives their duration. This papers An easy rule to determine the project’s aims at recalling such fundamentals, and push further to deduct duration key rules for estimating project durations. The overall duration of a Project is indeed determined as follows. What takes the most time in the completion of most projects is the piping. Think about how many welds are involved and how First, determine the date of piping pre- much time each weld takes, not to mention all what follows: fabrication Non Destructive Examination, heat treatment when applicable, Piping pre-fabrication activities can only start once both the supports, painting, insulation, hydrotest. construction drawings h
