9 INTRODUCTION

Kauther cluster comprises of two sets of reservoirs, Fakhr and Kauther. It is proposed to tie-in
Fakhr-9(A3) HPG Well to KGP network.

9 STUDY OBJECTIVE

The objective of this report is to carry out hydraulic calculation using PIPESIM to identify
suitable size for Fakhr-9(A3) HPG Well flowlines with respect to pressure drop and erosion
velocity criteria. During hydraulic study suitability of 8” flowline is verified based on availability.

9 TIE-IN AND FLOWLINE LENGTHS

As Fakhr-9(A3) HPG Well is falling under Fakhr area, it is proposed to connect these wells to RMS-3
(Fakhr RMS) in KGP network.

9 METHODOLOGY

 Fakhr-9(A3) HPG well coordinates provided in the Flowline and Well Hook-Up
Authorization (Refer Attachment-1) are plotted on Kauther area topological map and
flowlines are plotted to Kauther RMS-3.
 20% margin is considered over length.
 No margin is considered on flow rate.
 Exiting PIPESIM model is utilized for the present hydraulic study.
 Hydraulic has been performed for both the tie-in options.
 Back pressure at the wellhead is compared with FTHP and maximum fluid mean velocity
is compared with maximum erosional velocity.

9 CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATIONS

8” flowline is hydraulically suitable for Fakhr-9(A3) since back pressure is less than FTHP and
maximum mean velocity is less than maximum erosion velocity. Hence, 8” flowline is
recommended for Fakhr-9(A3).
