In the current macroeconomic context, it is of major importance to assess efficiency and risks of developing assets at early design stages.Engineering design in the oil industry is currently impossible without comprehensive design technologies. Already at the initial setup stage of a facility, it is required to handle the entire package of engineering information for the whole operating cycle of such a facility. Investors have to make decisions based on incomplete and inconsistent baseline data within short timeframes. The objectives set are addressed by using conceptual design tools. This work is intended to assess and analyse the existing approaches to the conceptual design of the field gathering and infrastructure development system. Presented are the methods and tools of the conceptual engineering developed by the following companies: Ingenix Group, Gazprom Neft STC (LLC), Gazprom Neft Development (LLC), RN-UfaNIPIneft (LLC), TomskNIPIneft (OJSC) and PermNIPIneft branch of LUKOIL-Engineering in Perm (LLC). The paper presents applications of the conceptual design tools at priority facilities of the branch, including the development of the Komandirshorskaya group of fields and the feasibility study of the strategic development of the Varandey-Adzvinsky asset. For both projects, multidisciplinary teams were formed; up-to-date re-estimation of reserves and multivariate elaboration of gathering and infrastructure development system plans were performed subject to a probabilistic approach; economic feasibility was estimated and most efficient options were proposed. Based on the analysis, the main conceptual design tools for the design of a new asset infrastructure development system were identified, and the further development options of the methods implementation at PermNIPIneft branch of LUKOIL-Engineering in Perm (LLC) were specified.
