1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
To optimise gas and condensate recovery from the Asset X facility, OMV Petrom plan to upgrade the
current compression capability available from the Central Production Facility (PFCP).
The PFCP-A platform was originally designed with six produced gas compressors:
• 1 x LP gas compressor (420-K-01) for the 2nd stage flash gas from the oil production
separators;
• 2 x HP gas compressors (421-K-01A/B) for the 1st stage flash gas from the oil production
separators plus the compressed gas from the 2nd stage separator;
• 3 x NAG compressors (450-K-01A/B/C) for non-associated or “free” gas.
The HP gas compressors and the NAG compressors were designed to be identical and
interchangeable to an extent. Over the years following the start-up of PFCP-A, the need for non-
associated gas compression never eventuated and two of the NAG compressors were utilised in HP
gas compression service and the remaining NAG compressor was utilised in LP gas compression
service.
Production rates of non-associated gas are declining rapidly and, in 2014, NAG compression is likely
to be required. This project will bring the NAG compressors into their original intended service. The
pressure and flow rate requirements for the NAG compressors are quite different to those
considered in the original design of the facility and the existing NAG compression packages must be
modified for the new service requirements.
In addition, the LP gas compression requirements have increased since the original design of the
PFCP-A facility and the LP gas compression capacity is to be increased.
1.2 Scope and Methodology
The scope of this document is to review the current Performance Standards for the PFCP-A platform
to ensure that they are applicable for the FRD Lebada East NAG & LP Brownfield Upgrade project
(LENAG).
This was carried out by firstly reviewing the Safety Critical Elements (SCE) that were identified for
the project and ensuring that each SCE is adequately covered by the Performance Standards. A
review is then carried out on all other Performance Standards to identify any additional shortfalls
that are outside the scope of the SCE’s. Any shortfalls in the existing Performance Standards are
identified.

2 REVIEW AGAINST SAFETY CRITICAL ELEMENTS


2.1 Methodology
The report Review of Safety Critical Elements for the FRD Lebada East NAG & LP Brownfield
Upgrade Project (Reference 1) was used to identify Safety Critical Elements (SCE) applicable to the
FRD Lebada East NAG & LP Brownfield Upgrade Project. The SCEs are addressed by the following
Performance Standards:
• PS06 - Compressors;
• PS08 - Lifting Equipment;
• PS22 - Firewater Distribution System
• PS23 - Deluge, Sprinkler and Mist System;
• PS29 - Emergency Shutdown & Blowdown System; and
• PS20 - ATEXE - ATEX Equipment.
The SCEs were reviewed against the existing Performance Standards, defined above, to determine
whether the Performance Standards were applicable and suitable for the upgrade project and if any
changes are required.
2.2 Gap Analysis
Table 1 provides an assessment of the applicability of the existing Performance Standards to the
FRD Lebada East NAG & LP Brownfield Upgrade Project SCE and highlights any identified gaps.

5 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS


The following Recommendations are made:
(1) As part of the Execute phase, review the SCEs identified for the project and confirm all
wording is applicable (e.g. special lifts may be considered a safety critical task rather than a
SCE);
(2) Update Performance Standard, PS06 Compressors, with boundary information for the new
compressors;
(3) Review the ESD Cause and Effects Chart to ensure all initiators and final elements for this
project are included;
(4) Develop a new Drains Performance Standard to include the new LCV on the NAG suction
scrubber liquid outlets;
(5) Complete a compliance assessment of the proposed design against the existing Performance
Standards, as part of the Execute phase, to ensure that each Performance Standard
requirement is met.
Furthermore, all Performance Standards associated with the project would benefit from a
detailed review and alignment with industry best practice where applicable. Improvements to be
considered include:
• Provision of detailed boundary information;
• A link between functional requirements and standards/guidance;
• More relevant and specific requirements; and
• Referencing of relevant maintenance routines for assurance activities.
