Carbon Capture & CO₂ Compression Equipment worked example
Field Commissioning Cost at 92% equipment scope share: a worked example in carbon capture & co₂ compression equipment
What does the result look like when equipment scope share reaches 92%? The full calculation is worked below with real intermediate numbers. Use it when field commissioning cost in carbon capture and co₂ compression equipment is being put through a carbon capture and co₂ compression equipment weighted-cost review.
The inputs for this scenario
- Commissioning field days: 100 days (unchanged)
- Commissioning cost per day: 45 $ / day (unchanged)
- Equipment scope share: 92 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 80)
- Fixed mobilization and test cost: 250 $ (unchanged)
Working through the calculation
- Applying the documented formula (Variable commissioning cost = commissioning field days × commissioning cost per day × equipment scope share) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
- At this operating point the engine returns 4,390 $ for total field commissioning cost, the number this scenario is built around.
- At this operating point the engine returns 43.9 $ / piece for commissioning cost per field day.
- At this operating point the engine returns 4,140 $ for variable commissioning cost.
- At this operating point the engine returns 250 $ for fixed mobilization and test cost.
How this compares with the baseline
- Against the tool's baseline example, where equipment scope share sits at 80% and the headline result is 3,850 $, this scenario comes in 14.03% above the baseline at 4,390 $.
- A figure at this level is achievable when equipment scope share is genuinely sustained, not just peaked for a shift. A flat day rate assumes steady crew composition; commissioning often escalates to specialist OEM technicians at premium rates during compressor and performance-test phases.
