Early Production Facility

BASIC ENGINEERING

The Basic Engineering will cover conceptual design, heat and material balance utilizing latest
version of HYSYS, development of Process Flow Diagram (PFD), Piping and Instrument Diagram
(P&I D), and preliminary Plot Plan. The major equipments will be sized and specified. The
control philosophy will be developed and instrumentation requirements will be specified.

The oil wells flow lines are collected in four manifolds. The configuration of the field dictates
that three manifolds to be in satellite stations and one manifold in the gathering center (GOSP).
The manifolds are manual type with provisions for future automation. The production fluid gas
flow rate 18 MMSCFD, Liquid oil 18000 BB/Day and water 1500 BBL/Day are routed to either
the production header.

The design foresees two stage separation processes. In the first stage the fluid will be flashed at
200 psig and 100 deg F where the released gas is collected and sent to the flare regulating the
separator pressure by pressure control system. The two liquid phases namely oil and water, are
separated using the predetermined sufficient resident time in the vessel and discharged under
level control system. The separated water which contains less than 1000 ppm oil will be
skimmed off of oil to less than 10 ppm in an oil skimmer system and collected in the production
water tanks. The oil which contains less than 5% water by volume flows into the second stage
separator. The released gas in this stage is also sent to the flare system regulating the vessel
pressure at about 100 psig utilizing pressure control system. The separated water will be
directed to skimmer system to reduce the oil content to less than 10 ppm and collected in the
water tank. The crude oil (1 % by volume) will be further treated in a Heater Treater at 35 PSIG
where the fluid temperature rises to 120 ⁰F. The required heat is supplied by the associated gas
from the production separator. The electro static section ensures efficient separation of the
water and oil phases. The water is directed to the oil skimmer system and the oil is mixed with
fresh water to dilute the salt content before entering the Desalter.

In the Desalter, the water smaller droplets are coalesced into droplets large enough to settle
from crude oil to the desired level by virtue of electro static treating. The water content of the
crude oil is guaranteed not to exceed 0.1% by volume and the salt will be less than 5 PTB.

The oil is stabilized in the degassing both associated with the crude storage tanks where
shipping pumps will transfer the crude oil to the consumer. The metering station equipped with
the flow computer and the prover will totalize the amount of sold crude oil.

High pressure and low pressure flare system ensures low emission of pollutant to the
environment before future gas utilization project comes into effect.
