Ethane Recovery using Straddle Plants

Concept of straddle plants is based upon:


– New build greenfield plants instead of modification of existing units
– Standalone plants, only tie-ins are to existing sales gas pipelines and new ethane export line
– Deep ethane recovery using cryogenic turbo-expander technology
– Modular, replicable 300 MMSCFD standard plants
‘Straddle plant’
 1 plant for North Rumaila gas
 2 plants for Khor Al Zubair gas
(1 plant per KAZ train) Feed gas ex KAZ train 1/2 or
NR main train

Ethane Recovery from BNGL
Concept is based upon:
– New-build 200 MMSCFD per train deep, turbo-expander based NGL recovery facilities by
BNGL, initially configured to recover NGLs only and reject ethane into the sales gas
– “Easy”, future retrofit to change configuration to enable deep ethane recovery mode (i.e.
inlet compression and de-ethaniser tower + associated equipment)

NGL 1/2 initial configuration shown in black New de-ethaniser detailed overview

- On the basis of 20 vol% C2 in feed gas, a ratable Raw Gas Upstream Capacity of 1390 MMSCFD could in theory
supply 240 – 253 MMSCFD of on-spec ethane (96 vol%)
- Assuming an availability of 90% the ratable ethane supply becomes 216 – 228 MMSCFD of on-spec ethane
- On the basis of 15 vol% C2 in feed gas, the ratable ethane supply becomes 165 – 170 MMSCFD on spec-ethane

Key Decisions

Straddle plants vs new built for KAZ and NR


Required availability (n+1) / turn-down
3rd party Ethane
AGRU location
Operating pressure Ethane pipeline
Capacity fuel gas line to Nebras
Routing of Ethane pipeline
Heating value
Use other decisions as used for BNGL development:
• Power
• Composition profile
• Provisions for the future
• Layout
• CP strategy

Risks & Opportunities

Oil production over time and change of producing reservoirs


Changes in C2 content of captured gas
Aging of existing BGC facilities (currently 35 and 38 years old resp.)
