The works associated with the construction of infrastructure facilities in the field require significant involvement of highly qualified specialists, high-quality implementation of these works and it requires adjustment of the developed project documentation directly in the construction process. PJSC «Gazprom neft» is faced with the task of increasing the efficiency of capital projects, in particular, reducing the time for their implementation. The faster the field is equipped and ready to start production, the sooner the capital investment in the project will pay off. The article discusses the method of organizing the construction (arrangement) using block-complete devices, namely one of its methods – superblocks. The essence of the method is the manufacture in the factory of modules, enlarged mounting assemblies, instrumentation and automation devices and their subsequent enlarged assembly into a large-capacity unit (superblock). The mass of the superblock can reach up to 1000 tons. The use of superblocks in the development of oil and gas fields guarantees high productivity, time saving and the quality of the facilities being built.

Oil and gas fields often operate two or more compressor trains in parallel instead of one big compressor train to optimize reliability and capital investment. These compressor trains are usually designed to be loaded equally in order to avoid excessive design margin, to operate at highest efficiency point, and to prevent any compressor from operating too close to its surge region (McMillan, 1983). However, this configuration means the lowest train’s capacity dictates overall system’s capacity. This paper shares Banyu Urip Central Processing Facility (BU CPF)’s successful strategy to compensate capacity decrease in one of its gas injection train using unbalanced load distribution. Upon implementation of the strategy, BU CPF managed to maintain operations at 100% gas injection capacity even though the capacity of one of the train was limited to 70%, therefore eliminating unplanned downtime or production curtailment.
