Project Duration Laws

Welcome to the presentation of the stunning

EPC Project critical path and duration laws

Case study

These laws are invaluable and should be known by all!

These are empirical laws, i.e., proven by experience.

For the full explanation and justification, please refer to my new publication “The Oil & Gas Engineering Guide”, 2nd Edition, Editions Technip, 2015.

Case study

An On-Shore EPC Project requires 250,000 Engineering manhours

The estimated tonnage of piping is 2,000 tons

The FEED was well done which allows to have 50% Equipment Purchase Orders placed by Project Month 6.

What will be the Project duration (from start to Mechanical completion)?
