Process Modification at Senipah Terminal

to Cope with The Increase of Associated Condensate Production Economically

while Complying with Safety and Environmental Standards

Abstract:

At Total E&P Indonesie (TI), final stabilization of all crude oils and condensates is carried
out at Senipah Terminal i.e. at TPA (Terminal Process Area) for Handil Mix and Bekapai
oil, and at CSU (Condensate Stabilization Unit) for Tambora-Tunu (Tatun) and Peciko
associated condensates.

Continuity of condensate stabilization processing at Senipah Terminal is a very important

matter to ensure gas supply to PT Badak LNG Bontang.

With the increase of gas production from Tatun and Peciko fields, the amount of associated
condensate has increased, and it is predicted to significantly exceeding CSU capacity.
Therefore, HC liquid processing at Senipah needs to be modified to anticipate the increase
of associated condensate production in order to maintain a good final product quality for
storage and shipping. The produced associated gas also has to be processed to avoid gas
flaring to atmosphere.

To build an additional CSU involves high Capex and long lead time. Process studies have
been performed to obtain the cheapest and fastest solutions while complying with safety and
environmental standards. The result of the study is to recommend to install an Inlet Surge
Drum at CSU, to modify the arrival piping route to CSU/TPA in order to allow
flexibility/selectivity in blending crudes, to install LP compressor for CSU gas outlet, to
refurbish the de-commissioned Handil Heater and to install an additional Flare Gas
Recovery Unit (vacuum pump). In addition, to avoid/minimize Black Smoke in case of
excessive release of gas to atmosphere due to process upsets, it is planned to replace three
flare units by Smokeless Flare type (air-assisted flare system). All of the recommendations
are now at EPSC (Engineering, Procurement, Supply and Construction) stage.

I . Background

At Total E&P Indonesie (TI), final stabilization of all crude oils and condensates is carried
out at Senipah Terminal i.e. at TPA (Terminal Process Area) for Handil Mix and Bekapai
oil, and at CSU (Condensate Stabilization Unit) for Tambora-Tunu (Tatun) and Peciko
associated (unstabilized) condensates.

Originally CSU has a nominal unstabilized condensate feed capacity of 35,000 BPD. In
1998 CSU was de-bottlenecked hence it can handle unstabilized condensate feed up to
45,000 BPD. Several simulations/studies and site trials have been performed to improve the
capacity of CSU. The result is that the amount of unstabilized condensate feed can be
handled by CSU is + 50,000 BPD. A Black Smoke problem usually start appearing when
unstabilized condensate feed to CSU is above 45,000 BPD.

With the increase of gas production from Tatun and Peciko fields, the amount of associated
(unstabilized) condensate has increased, and in the next few years it is predicted to reach a
peak of + 55,000 BPD (significantly exceeding CSU capacity)

At moment in TI, with total gas production export to PT Badak LNG Bontang + 2,500
MMSCFD, the associated (unstabilized) condensate needs to be stabilized is + 51,000
BPD. Part of unstabilized condensate (+ 10.000 BPD) is deverted to TPA, to be blended
with Handil crude in Handil crude oil stabilization train to produce Handil Mix.

Continuity of condensate stabilization processing at Senipah Terminal is a very important

matter to ensure gas supply to PT Badak LNG Bontang. Therefore, the reliability and
availability of consendate stabilization processing at Senipah and its back-up is very
importance. A fail in stabilizing unstablized condensate can seriously affect to the gas
production rate to PT Badak LNG.

Currently, TI does not have facilities for full back-up to CSU in case of CSU shutdown.
That means in case of CSU shutdown, TI has to cut gas production until more than 60%. A
fullback-up for CSU is especially needed for CSU periodic shutdown for whole inspection
and maintenance that requires at least two weeks shutdown window (note: the last shutdown
of CSU for whole inspection/maintenance was in May 1999, and there is a planing for CSU
shutdown around mid of 2004).

Therefore to anticipate the significant increase of associated (unstabilized) condensate

production in the coming few years in order to maintain a good final product quality for
storage and shipping; and to guarantee the continuity of condensate stabilization processing
at Senipah Terminal (provide full back-up for CSU) in order to ensure gas supply to PT
Badak LNG Bontang as per planned, the HC liquid processing at Senipah Terminal needs to
be modified. The gas processing is also needed to be modified accordingly to avoid gas
flaring to atmosphere.

II . Existing Process Facilities at TPA and CSU

TPA (Terminal Process Area)

TPA consist of two crude stabilization trains i.e.: Bekapai Train for Bekapai crude
stabilization and Handil Train for Handil crude stabilization. Each train has four separators:
the 1st and 2nd separator are horizontal type; the 3rd and 4th separator are vertical type.

The average operating pressure and temperature of each train (from 01/01/03 to 10/09/03)
are:

2. LLP (1.22 bara) to LP (5.6 bara), by Lex compressor (capacity + 10 MMSCFD)
3. LP (5.6 bara) to MLP (8.9 bara), by Creusot Loire compressors (capacity + 8.5
MMSCFD)
4. MLP (8.9 bara) to MP (32.5 bara), by Tandem compressor (capacity + 30 MMSCFD)

Note:
VLP = Very Low Pressure (+ 1.01 bara)
LLP = Low Low Pressure (+ 1.22 bara)
LP = Low Pressure (+ 5.6 bara)
MLP = Medium Low Pressure (+ 8.9 bara)
MP = Medium Pressure (+ 32.5 bara)

Simplified Process Flow Diagram of TPA can be seen in Appendix-1.

CSU (Condensate Stabilization Unit)

Associated (unstabilized) condensate from Tatun and Peciko field is stabilized at

Condensate Stabilization Unit (CSU) prior to be storaged in the storage tanks (waiting for
loading to tankers for selling). The RVP (Reid Vapor Pressure) specification of stabilized
condensate to be reached by CSU is 10-11 psia.

Originally CSU has a nominal unstabilized condensate feed capacity of 35,000 BPD. In
1998 CSU was de-bottlenecked hence it can handle unstabilized condensate feed up to
45,000 BPD (with max 2% water cut). Several simulations/studies and site trials have been
performed to improve the capacity of CSU. The result is that the amount of unstabilized
condensate feed can be handled by CSU is + 50,000 BPD. A Black Smoke problem
usually start appearing when unstabilized condensate feed to CSU is above 45,000 BPD.

Process equipment of CSU consist of:

1. Pig receiver
2. Inlet filter
3. Feed Pre-heater
4. Water Condensate Separator
5. Filter Coalescer
6. Stabilization Column
7. Condensate Reboiler
8. Condensate/Gas Cooler
9. Stabilizer Reboiler pump
10. Condensate Recycle pump
11. Water drum
12. Degassing Boot

The average operating pressure and temperature of CSU at some equipment (from 01/01/03
to 10/09/03) are:

Pig Receiver Water/Cond. Stabilization Degassing Boot

III. Problems in TPA/CSU to be anticipated and overcome

If there are fluctuations or water slugs in associated condensate feed at high flow, it can
disturb thermodynamic process inside the CSU stabilization column, hence condensate
stabilization process will be upset and then it will reduce stabilization capacity of the
column. Usually if it happens, there will be a significant amount of heavy gas that will
be flashed in degassing boot, and it will create Black Smoke Problem to atmosphere.

If there is water carry-over to stabilization column, it can cause pressure and temperature
of the column to increase. If too much water is carried over to the column, the second
pressure control valve has to open (as the first pressure control valve is already fully
open), to release gas to the atmosphere in order to maintain column pressure, and it will
create Black Smoke Problem as well.

Currently, there is no facility to divert associated condensate from Tatun or Peciko only
to TPA (to blend with Handil crude). If too much water is carried over to the associated
condensate that is being sent to CSU (due to process problem in Tatun/Peciko process
area or chemical batch treatment to the trunklines or periodic piging on the pipelines), it
is better to divert (part) of condensate to TPA in order to reduce sending water to CSU,
since it may cause water carry-over to CSU stabilization column which can significantly
reduce CSU capacity and then could also initiate Black Smoke Problem.

As associated condensate to be stabilized in CSU/TPA is increasing, the resulting

amount of off-gas is also increasing and quite frequently exceed the capacity of Low
Pressure (Creusot Loire compressor) and Very Low Pressure (Flare Gas Recovery Unit)
compression system. It is creating Black Smoke Problem in TPA and CSU.

With the increase of gas production from Tatun and Peciko fields, the amount of
associated (unstabilized) condensate has increased, and in the next few years it is
predicted to reach a peak of + 55,000 BPD (significantly exceeding CSU capacity). To
anticipate this, diverting part of associated condensate to TPA (blended with Handil
crude) has been carried out for about two years to produce Handil Mix. However, there
is a certain maximum amount of associated condensate that can be blended with Handil
crude at TPA. If it is too much, it can cool the separation or stabilization temperature
hence could produce unsafe/unstabilized product (high RVP), besides off-spec product.

At the moment, there is no full back-up capacity for CSU. In case CSU is unavailable
(shutdown), it will significantly cut gas production export (could be more than 60%) to
PT Badak LNG Bontang.

If some amount of gas (+ 1 to 3 MMSCFD) has to be flared to atmosphere due to

process limitation or gets upset as mentioned above, then it will create Black Smoke
Problem since the existing flares are non-smokeless flare type.

IV. Process modification at TPA and CSU to anticipate and overcome the problems

To build an additional CSU involves high Capex and long lead time. And even if additional
new CSU is chosen, it still requires process modification in gas processing side. Process
studies have been performed to obtain the cheapest and fastest solutions while complying
with safety and environmental standards. It has been decided not to build additional CSU
but to use TPA (with process modification) as a full back-up for CSU.

The result of the process studies are to recommend:

a. To install CSU Inlet Surge Drum
b. To modify the arrival piping route (Condensate Flexibility Incoming Lines) to CSU &
TPA in order to allow flexibility/selectivity in blending crudes
c. To install CSU Compressor
d. To refurbish the de-commissioned fired heater
e. To install additional Flare Gas Recovery Unit (Vacuum pump)
f. To install Smokeless Flares
Note:
Please see the simplified PFD of TPA and CSU in appendix-1 and 2 respectively.
All of the recommendations are now at EPSC (Engineering, Procurement, Supply and
Construction) stage.

The rationalization of each process modification is explained below:

a. To install CSU Inlet Surge Drum

Fluctuations or water slugs in associated condensate feed at high flow to stabilization

column can disturb thermodynamic process inside the CSU stabilization column, hence
condensate stabilization process will be upset and then it will reduce stabilization capacity
of the column and also could create Black Smoke Problem.

To overcome these problems, an Inlet Surge Drum will be installed at the inlet of CSU (see
CSU PFD on Appendix-2)

CSU Inlet Surge Drum is a three phase horizontal separator. It acts as big surge capacitor to
ensure a stable/constant flow through a flow control valve to downstream equipment. It is
designed to be able to absorb associated condensate feed flow fluctuation (+ 20% of 58,000
BPD for every half hour), to handle water slugs (up to 50 M3 in 10 minutes), to separate
water (water cut up to 13%), to dampen pressure fluctuation, to flash the gas and to remove
the floc associated with the condensate feed if any.

Design flowrate (capacity) of CSU Inlet Surge Drum i.e.: for associated condensate =
249,500 kg/h (+ 55,797 BPD), for gas = 10 MMSCFD, for water = 57,352 kg/h (+ 8,614
BPD), with length (T/T) = 14 m, and diameter = 3.5 m.

6
The level control system for this vessel is designed in such a way that any fluctuation in the
feed or level of the new CSU inlet surge drum will not be transferred to the existing water
condensate separator.

Pressure in CSU inlet surge drum will be maintained at 14.0 bara by split range pressure
control using fuel gas balance and split-off to flare/compression system at TPA.

Constant associated condensate flow from the outlet CSU inlet surge drum to the feed pre-
heater will avoid regulating the opening bypass temperature control valve, hence a constant
operating temperature can be maintain in water condensate separator.

As associated condensate feed flow to stabilization column is constant or with minimum

variations and no water carry-over, it will result the stabilization column can operate on
stabilized operation/condition, so that it can achieve maximum capacity and can
avoid/minimize black smoke problem as well.

b.To modify the arrival piping route (Condensate Flexibility Incoming Lines) to CSU & TPA

Currently, there is no facility to divert associated condensate from Tatun or Peciko only to
TPA (to blend with Handil crude). If too much water is carried-over to the associated
condensate that is being sent to CSU (due to process problem in Tatun/Peciko process area
or chemical batch treatment to the trunklines or periodic piging on the pipelines), it is better
to divert (part) of condensate to TPA in order to reduce sending water to CSU, since it may
cause water carry-over to CSU stabilization column which can significantly reduce CSU
capacity (could reduce + 30% from maximum capacity) and then could also initiate Black
Smoke Problem.

To overcome this problem, there will be modifications on the arrival piping route to CSU
and/to TPA in order to allow flexibility/selectivity in blending crudes. These modification
routes/lines are called as Condensate Flexibility Incoming Lines. With this facilities,
associated condensed with contain much water carry over can be diverted to TPA.

There will be 4 options (mode) for incoming route of associated (unstabilized) condensate
from Tatun and Peciko to CSU & TPA, i.e.:
1. Tatun + Peciko to CSU, divert Peciko only to TPA
2. Tatun + Peciko to CSU, divert Tatun only to TPA
3. Tatun to CSU and Peciko to TPA
4. Tatun to TPA and Peciko to CSU

As Tatun and Peciko condensate have different value of oAPI gravity, there is an
economical benefit of this modification. It can be explained as follows:
o
API gravity Handil crude is + 37.0
o
API gravity Tatun associated condensate is + 51 .8
o
API gravity Peciko associated condensate is + 57.9
o
API gravity Tatun + Peciko associated condensate is + 53.9

7
Currently the specification of oAPI gravity of Handil Mix is 43.8 + 0.5

Illustration:
Assumption Price of Senipah (Tatun + Peciko) condensate is US$ 29.0
Assumption Price of Handil Mix is US$ 28.5

Since Senipah condensate price is higher than Handil Mix, in this case if we could we
prefer to produce more volume of Senipah condensate rather than Handil Mix.
Therefore, only Peciko associated condensate (higher oAPI gravity than Tatuns) to be
blended to Handil crude in TPA in order to send less condensate to TPA, while all Tatun
associated condensate will be sent to CSU.

Table below will explain clearly:

Basis of Rate (bbl/day) Volume rate (bbl/day) of ass. Condensate to be blended with Handil Crude
to achieve 43.8 oAPI
Handil Crude Tatun + Peciko ass. Cond. Peciko ass. cond. Tatun ass. Cond
(1) (2) (3) (4)
16,000 11,852 8,673 14,794

Different Volume per day i.e.: (2) (3) = (11,852 8,673) bbl = 3,179 bbl

Price different per bbl between Senipah condensate and Handil Mix = (29.0 28.5) US$
= 0.50 US$

Benefit per day = 3,179 bbl x 0.50 US$/bbl

= 1,589.5 US$/day

Benefit per year = 365 days/year x 1,589.5 US$/day

= 580,168 US$/year

c. To install CSU Compressor

As associated condensate to be stabilized in CSU and TPA is increasing, the resulting

amount of LP off-gas is also increasing and quite frequently exceed the capacity of existing
LP compression system (two Creusot Loire compressors).

Capacity of two Creusot Loire compressors is 2 x 4.25 MMSCFD, while currently quantity
of LP gas to be compressed is + 8 MMSCFD.

It is predicted that during associated condensate reach + 55,000 BPD, the quantity of LP gas
can reach + 9.5 MMSCFD. In this case, + 1.0 MMSCFD gas has to be flared. It is creating
Black Smoke Problem and also it means loss of revenue (see estimation calculation below).

8
Assume :
Amount of LP gas flaring per day ~ 1 MMSCF
MW LP gas ~ 40
1 MMSCF (MW ~ 40) ~ 350 BOE
1 BOE = 25 US$

Loss of revenue per day ~ 1 MMSCF x 350 BOE/MMSCF x 25 US$/BOE

~ 8,750 US$/day

Loss of revenue per year ~ 365 days/year x 8,750 US$/day

~ 3.19 Millions US$/year

To overcome this problem, a new LP reciprocating compressor (it is called CSU

compressor) with capacity of 10.5 MMSCFD will be installed (added). This compressor also
as a back-up for the existing two Creusot Loire compressors (quite old LP compressors)
with have capacity of 2 x 4.25 MMSCFD.

d. To refurbish the de-commissioned fired heater

At the moment, part of associated condensate is blended with Handil crude in TPA to
produce Handil Mix. However, there is a certain maximum amount of associated condensate
can be blended with Handil crude at TPA. If it is too much, it can cool the separation or
stabilization temperature hence could produce unsafe/unstabilized product (high RVP),
besides off-spec product. And also there is no full back-up capacity for CSU. In case of
CSU is unavailable (shutdown), it will significantly cut the gas production export (could be
more than 60%) to PT Badak LNG Bontang.

To overcome this problem, the de-commissioned fired heater is planned to be refurbished.

The original function of this fired heater is to maintain temperature of Handil crude above
its pour point temperature. Since 1986, the fired heater has not been used (off), due to not
useful any more as the pour point of Handil crude has been decrease (currently Handil
crudes pour point is + 20 oC).

Today, the purpose of refurbishing this fired heater is not related to pour point reason, but it
is related to RVP (Reid Vapor Pressure) reason. In case CSU is unavailable (shutdown) and
all unstabilized condensate has to be diverted to TPA, this fired heater is needed to give
enough heat to HC liquid feed in TPA in order to sufficiently de-gas during HC liquid
stabilization processing to achieve RVP of final crude product as per specification
(maximum RVP is 11 psia).

9
e. To install additional Flare Gas Recovery Unit (Vacuum pump).

As associated condensate to be stabilized in CSU and TPA is increasing, the resulting

amount of VLP off-gas is also increasing and quite frequently exceed the capacity of
existing VLP compression system (Flare Gas Recovery Unit).

Capacity of existing FGRU (two ejectors) is 2 x 0.3 MMSCFD, while the quantity of VLP
gas can reach + 1.0 MMSCFD during associated condensate flowrate diverted to TPA +
55,000 BPD. In this case, + 0.4 MMSCFD has to be flared. It is creating Black Smoke
Problem and also it means loss of revenue (see estimation calculation below).

Assume :
Amount of VLP gas flaring per day ~ 0.4 MMSCF
MW VLP gas ~ 50
1 MMSCF (MW ~ 50) ~ 450 BOE
1 BOE = 25 US$

Loss of revenue per day ~ 0.4 MMSCF x 450 BOE/MMSCF x 25 US$/BOE

~ 4,500 US$/day

To overcome this problem, a new FGRU with capacity of 2 MMSCFD will be installed.
The new FGRU will use Liquid Ring Vacuum Pump as a main equipment. Once it is
available, the old FGRU (ejectors) will be put in standby (back-up).

Operation Principle of Liquid Ring Vacuum Pump

A liquid ring (utility water) is created by the centrifugal force generated by the rotating
impeller. This force holds the liquid ring against the inner wall of the pumping chamber.
Since the impeller is located eccentric to the pumping chamber, the depth of entry of the
blades into the liquid ring decreases and increases as the impeller rotates. This creates
increasing impeller cell volume on the inlet port site, creating a vacuum. On the discharge
port side, the impeller cell volume decreases, as the blades move further into the liquid ring,
increasing the pressure, until discharge takes place through the discharge port. A continuous
flow of fresh sealing liquid is supplied to the pump via the sealing liquid inlet.

The FGRU withdraws gas from the flare header upstream of the liquid seal drum and
recovers gas that would normally be burned by the flare. The recovery systems operates to
maintain a slight positive pressure on the flare header upstream of liquid seal drum. This
ensures that air is not drawn into the flare system or the FGRU.

If the volume of gas relieved into the flare system exceeds the capacity of the FGRU,
pressure in the flare header will build until it exceeds the back-pressure created by the liquid
level of the liquid seal drum. At that point, any excess gas volume will begin to flow to the
flare. If the volume of gas relieved into the flare system is less than the full capacity of the

10
FGRU, the system is automatically turned down by staging vacuum pump and diverting
discharge gas back to the suction header.

The flare gas which is to be recovered flows directly to the FGRU skid (into the liquid ring
vacuum pump). The recovered gas and a portion of the sealing liquid combine inside the
vacuum pump, and then are jointly discharged into the separator vessel. Here liquids and
gases are separated.

Next, the pumped sealing liquid is cooled using a heat exchanger and returned to the
vacuum pump. Pumped (compressed) gas from the separator flows from the system and is
piped to destination.

No after-cooling of the gas is required with a liquid ring vacuum pump design because the
heat of compression is absorbed by the seal fluid.

A typical Process Flow Diagram of Liquid Ring Vacuum Pump System can be seen in
Appendix-3.

f. To install Smokeless Flares

With the modifications that have mentioned above, gas flaring that creates Black Smoke
Problem in TPA/CSU are no longer expected. However, to avoid/minimize Black Smoke
in case of excessive gas (+ 1 to 3 MMSCFD) release to atmosphere due to process upsets,
existing two flares in TPA and flare in CSU will be replaced by Smokeless Flare type. After
reviewing some smokeless flare system types, it has been decided to use air-assisted flare
system.

The air-assisted flare provides lower annual energy cost than traditional steam flares, lower
maintenance requirement, elimination of steam lines and controls, minimum standby energy
cost, extended flare burner life, and low noise levels. The air-assisted flare provides
smokeless combustion of low to moderate flows of waste gas using air from a blower as the
supplement energy source rather than steam. The elimination of steam and the associated
steam flow control not only simplifies the system, but reduces overall operating costs as
well.
The system includes a flanged burner assembly for easy burner access. To provide longer tip
life and increased smokeless capacity, the flare includes aground mounted vane axial
blower.
The blower is designed to have two-speeds (low speed and high speed). The blower requires
only 1/8 the available horsepower when operating at low speed hence it results reduced
utility costs with the added benefit of low noise levels at maximum capacity. Another
benefit of air-assisted flare is longer tip life, since the forced draft air continuously flows
past the flare tip eliminating internal burning and cools the flare tip itself. This results in
lower maintenance and longer tip life.

Schematic of typical smokeless flare (air-assisted flare system) can be seen in Appendix-4

V. Summary
Continuity of condensate stabilization processing at Senipah Terminal is a very important
matter to ensure gas supply to PT Badak LNG Bontang. Therefore, the reliability and
availability of consendate stabilization processing at Senipah and its back-up is very
importance. A fail in stabilizing unstablized condensate can seriously affect to the gas
production rate to PT Badak LNG.

To anticipate the significant increase of associated (unstabilized) condensate production in

the coming few years in order to maintain a good final product quality for storage and
shipping; and to guarantee the continuity of condensate stabilization processing at Senipah
Terminal (provide full back-up for CSU) in order to ensure gas supply to PT Badak LNG
Bontang as per planned, the HC liquid processing at Senipah Terminal needs to be modified.
The gas processing is also needed to be modified accordingly to avoid gas flaring to
atmosphere.

To build an additional CSU involves high Capex and long lead time. And even if additional
new CSU is chosen, it still requires process modification in gas processing side. Process
studies have been performed to obtain the cheapest and fastest solutions while complying
with safety and environmental standards. It has been decided not to build additional CSU
but to use TPA (with process modification) as a full back-up for CSU.

The result of the process studies are to recommend to install an Inlet Surge Drum at CSU,
to modify the arrival piping route to CSU & TPA in order to allow flexibility/selectivity in
blending crudes, to install LP compressor for CSU gas outlet, to refurbish the de-
commissioned Handil Heater and to install an additional Flare Gas Recovery Unit (vacuum
pump). In addition, to avoid/minimize Black Smoke in case of excessive release of gas to
atmosphere due to process upsets, it is planned to replace three flare units by Smokeless
Flare type (air-assisted flare system). All of the recommendations are now at EPSC
(Engineering, Procurement, Supply and Construction) stage.
