649
-
650
-
651
- 5.1. General View
652
-
653
- β€’ Control and monitoring primarily from the Control Room (CR) on the Quarters Platform (QP2).
654
- β€’ Gas from 4 wellhead platforms directed to the First Stage Separator (FWKO) on the Main Compression Platform (MCP) at around 42 barg.
655
- β€’ Routed to two identical compression trains on the Low Compression Platform (LCP).
656
- β€’ Main operation on LCP is to lift pressure by compressing gas to 69 barg.
657
- β€’ Gas returned to MCP compression trains for further compression to 108 barg.
658
- β€’ Combined gas from both trains sent to Process Platform (PP) for dehydration and export via two export lines (36” and 24”).
659
- β€’ Gas flow processed based on demands for 36" export gas and 24" domestic gas users, considering line packing needs.
660
-
661
- 5.2. Key Parameters
662
-
663
- β€’ Gas can be produced in 4 configurations:
664
- β€’ HP mode: Directly from Well Platform (WP) to export with minimal treatment.
665
- β€’ MP mode: Through MP compressors.
666
- β€’ LP mode: Through LP and MP compressors.
667
- β€’ LLP mode: Through LP compressors in series and one MP compressor.
668
- β€’ HP potential not feasible since Q1-2016.
669
-
670
-
671
- 5.3. Flow Control
672
-
673
- β€’ Gas from wellhead platforms WP1+WP3 and WP2 is manifolded at Process Platform (PP) and directed to two First Stage Separator (FWKO) drums on Main Compression Platform (MCP), where it's mixed with WP4 gas received through Low Compression Platform (LCP).
674
- β€’ Compression trains started in segregated mode to allow compressor time to run up to required production rate without affecting alternate train due to pressure differences.
675
- β€’ WP1/WP3 & WP4 aligned to LCP/MCP train-A, returning gas to PP train-A.
676
- β€’ WP2 aligned to LCP/MCP train-B, returning gas to PP train-B.
677
- β€’ Optimized method for balancing production on both trains:
678
- β€’ Open MCP FWKO inlet balancing lines.
679
- β€’ Keep LCP inlet and outlet balancing lines closed.
680
- β€’ Keep MCP outlet balancing lines closed.
681
- β€’ Controls implemented to handle field operating modes and events:
682
- β€’ Choke limiter
683
- β€’ Pressure control
684
- β€’ Automatic actions for compressor trips
685
- β€’ Each dehydration train on PP has an independent flow control loop.
686
- β€’ Flow transmitter signal processed in PCS logic to allow operator setting of total PP flow rate required.
687
- β€’ FV-40025 and FV-40026 operated manually (full open) in practice.
688
- β€’ Chokes set manually to meet compressor suction pressure required for export demand.
689
-
690
- 5.3.1. Choke Limiter
691
- β€’ Overall well capacity limited to maximum of 950MMScfd (design capacity) during all operation modes via well control procedure.
692
- β€’ Operator sets chokes to achieve specific flow and does not adjust them afterward.
693
- β€’ Chokes have a maximum open position, called choke limiter, which operator cannot exceed.
694
- β€’ Well control procedure defines limiter setting and maximum potential capacity in case of error.
695
- β€’ Choke movements are limited to small increments to allow time for LCP and MCP compressors to respond to flow/pressure changes.
696
- β€’ Individual hydraulically actuated flow line choke valves set from QP2 control room via PCS.
697
- β€’ Once set, chokes can only be closed further, not opened.
698
- β€’ Choke position setting conducted under password-controlled system.
699
-
700
- 5.3.2. Pressure Control
701
- β€’ Pressure control system initiates actions in case of pressure increase at gas treatment inlet (PICA 49067 / 49061 / 80004) to minimize flaring during upset conditions and avoid tripping the second train on high suction pressure.
702
- β€’ Each inlet manifold equipped with a PICA monitoring gas flowing pressure with 3 threshold values affecting wells:
703
- β€’ First threshold: Automatically closes selected wells' choke valves to pre-defined value.
704
- β€’ Second threshold: Automatically closes selected wells' wing valves, which close faster than chokes, causing significant reduction in flow rate to prevent further pressure increase.
705
- β€’ Third threshold: Automatically closes all wells' choke and wing valves.
706
- β€’ Closing wells via PCS prevents ESD trip on Process Platform (PP) by using quicker response of wing valves to halt production before PAHH set point is reached, beneficial for remote wellhead platforms as PCS action doesn't require local reset like ESD trip.
707
- β€’ Other pressure control systems implemented on manifolds and vessels independent of previous means:
708
- β€’ Pressure relief valves (PVs) installed on each FWKO routed to HP flare with limited capacity of 192 MMScfd.
709
- β€’ PVs installed on each PP inlet manifold routed to HP flare, sized to relieve full gas flow from associated wellhead platform.
710
- β€’ Set of 3x50% full flow Pressure Safety Valves (PSVs) provided on each manifold (116.5 barg).
711
- β€’ Threshold values related to manifold pressure adjusted based on operating mode (MP/LP/LLP).
712
-
713
- 5.3.3. Compressor Trip Automatic Actions
714
- β€’ To anticipate wellhead platform shutdown during events on MP and LP compressors, the following logic is implemented in wells control:
715
- β€’ In segregated mode:
716
- β€’ On MP or LP compressor trip, all choke valves on associated wells are set to close position (except on WP3).
717
- β€’ In balanced mode:
718
- β€’ On MP or LP compressor trip, all wing valves on WP1 are closed, and choke valves on WP3 are set to a predefined value.
719
- β€’ In case of event on the second train, all choke valves are set to close position.
720
- β€’ Choke valve equipped with continuous position indicator/potentiometer providing feedback control for desired valve position.
721
- β€’ Implemented fixed timer counter in choke valves opening logic to overcome potentiometer failure. Timer corresponds to opening time of maximum allowable % opening. If choke opening doesn't reach set point % within this time, timer stops output of opening signal, notifying control room operator.
722
- β€’ Logic not implemented for choke valve closing as it conflicts when choke valve is required to close more than maximum allowable limit % during ESD or reaching threshold settings.
723
-
724
- 5.4. Gas Compression and Dehydration

- 5.4.6. MP Compressors K-2010/2020
763
- β€’ Compressors take gas from suction scrubber at 84barg to 58.6barg (WHFP declining) and compress it up to return pressure of 107.6 to 109.8 barg.
764
- β€’ Compressor suction pressure manually altered to achieve required flow using PICA controller at compressor suction scrubbers. Adjusting PICA set point affects compressor speed and capacity.
765
- β€’ PIC connected to MP FWKO opens to relieve excess pressure if vessel pressure exceeds PIC set point.
766
- β€’ Operators must make small changes in PICA set point to avoid venting via PV. Adjusting PICA preferred over closing/opening well chokes for better system stability.
767

805
-
806
- 5.4.13. PP Glycol Regeneration
807
- Glycol regeneration occurs in two separate trains using a classical fired boiler system. The process involves the following steps:
808
- 1. Flash Vessel: Rich TEG (water saturated) from the gas/glycol contactor under level control enters a 3-phase flash vessel via a glycol preheater. Gas is liberated under back pressure control, and any hydrocarbons produced are separated to an individual compartment. The rich glycol is filtered (solid filter and slipstream through a carbon bed filter) before going to the reboiler still column via the lean/rich glycol plate exchangers. Flow is controlled by level within the flash vessel.
809
- 2. Reboiler: A gas-fired tube-type reboiler, regulated by glycol temperature control, boils off water vapor to the still column (contacting rich TEG in a packed bed). The vapor passes through an overhead total condenser (fin fan cooler) and drum before disposal in the LP flare. Partial liquids from the overhead drum are recycled to the still column with a pump under flow control, with excess liquid dumped to the condensate flash drum under level control.
810
- 3. Lean Glycol Treatment: Lean glycol overflows from the reboiler via an external stripping column (fuel gas used to strip further water and increase purity of lean glycol) and heat exchangers to the surge drum. It is then circulated back to the contactor by reciprocating pumps. Lean glycol is cooled prior to distribution within the contactor by an air cooler with temperature differential control between dry gas outlet and lean glycol inlet to glycol contactor.
811
- 4. Control and Monitoring: Managed by the PCS, reboiler has an independent Burner Management System for pilot and main burners. Control includes back pressure control to LP flare and level control on glycol flash vessel. Manual globe valve on carbon filter bypass regulates slipstream flow through glycol carbon filters.
812
- 5. Additional Controls:
813
- β€’ Temperature control of reboiler liquids to regulate main fuel gas flow.
814
- β€’ Self-regulating pressure control valves on fuel gas supply plus manual flow adjustment of stripping gas.
815
- β€’ Flow control regulation of overheads recycle (reflux) flow with excess liquids to the condensate flash drum by level control from overheads drum.
816
- β€’ Temperature control on lean glycol to contactor by temperature difference between dry gas and lean glycol inlet.
817
- β€’ Temperature of lean glycol to the contactor adjusted by temperature difference control acting on air cooler louvers.
818
- β€’ Rich glycol return from contactor regulated by level control from bottom of contactor.
819
- 6. Glycol Make-up System: Manually operated system includes storage tank, pump, and filter. Tank is blanketed by inert gas (N2) with self-regulating valve and pressure/vacuum breaker valve. Entire system made of carbon steel.

846
- β€’ The 24” domestic gas manifold is equipped with FV-40139, operating in manual or automatic mode.
847
- β€’ Two pressure sensors ensure overpressure protection, initiating shutdown of the inboard emergency shutdown valve ESV-40268 if the gas pressure increases.
848
-
849
- 5.5.2 Pipeline Operation
850
- β€’ Normal Operation: The offshore pipeline is operated under packed conditions with some margin to cope with unplanned shutdowns.
