neqsim-capex-opex-screening

neqsim-capex-opex-screening is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from equinor/neqsim-community-skills. It costs 87 tokens per session (1,384 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A screening method for estimating the total cost of building and operating an industrial project from basic equipment costs. It gives early CAPEX, OPEX, and lifetime cost estimates using public assumptions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to estimate installed project cost, yearly operating cost, and total ownership cost from equipment and energy inputs. It can also supply cost figures for asset-value or net-present-value screening.
Why use it?
It provides a rough cost magnitude before detailed engineering data or specialist estimating tools are available. This helps with early project comparisons and financial screening.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

neqsim-capex-opex-screening scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (examples/basic_capex_opex.py, src/capex_opex_screening/__init__.py, src/capex_opex_screening/model.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

CAPEX/OPEX Screening

Use this skill for a quick, public screening of project cost. Given a bare equipment cost, it applies a public installation (Lang/Hand-style) factor and a contingency allowance to estimate a total installed CAPEX, then adds a simple OPEX (a fraction of CAPEX per year plus an annual energy cost) to produce a lifecycle total cost of ownership. It is intentionally simple and should guide users toward the validated NeqSim CostEstimationCalculator (Turton / Peters / Ulrich / Seider correlations with CEPCI escalation) and the NeqSim MCP runFieldEconomics workflow for real estimates.

When to Use

  • When a user wants a first-pass CAPEX and OPEX magnitude for a concept.
  • When an agent needs a cost feed for an asset-value / NPV screening chain.
  • When examples must run without confidential cost data or licensed estimating tools.

Inputs

  • bare_equipment_cost_musd: total bare (uninstalled) equipment cost in million USD.
  • installation_factor: Lang/Hand-style multiplier from bare to installed cost (default 3.5).
  • contingency_fraction: contingency added on top of installed cost (default 0.2).
  • opex_fraction_of_capex_per_year: annual OPEX as a fraction of total CAPEX (default 0.04).
  • annual_energy_use_mwh: optional annual energy use for the energy-cost term (default 0).
  • energy_price_usd_per_mwh: optional energy price (default 0).
  • project_life_years: number of years used for the lifecycle OPEX roll-up (default 20).

Outputs

  • installed_capex_musd: bare cost * installation factor.
  • total_capex_musd: installed CAPEX including contingency.
  • annual_opex_musd: OPEX-fraction term per year.
  • annual_energy_cost_musd: energy-cost term per year.
  • total_annual_opex_musd: sum of the two OPEX terms.
  • lifecycle_opex_musd: total annual OPEX times project life.
  • total_cost_of_ownership_musd: total CAPEX plus lifecycle OPEX.
  • capex_warning: ok, watch, or high (magnitude flag vs a configurable threshold).
  • neqsim_available: whether the optional NeqSim package is importable.
  • assumptions: public assumptions and required follow-up.
