AND RELATED AREAS – CARITO FIELD - MONAGAS.

OCT 03rd, 2017

 GAS INJECTION CAPACITY EXPANSION AND RELATED AREAS - CARITO FIELD
Geographical Location
The MUSCAR gas complex is located in Punta de Mata, Monagas State,
Eastern Venezuela. PIGAP, high pressure gas injection plant, is part of the
complex.

Project Benefits and Justification

 To solve in a systematic way the deficit in gas injection for Enhanced Oil Recovery
(EOR) in the MUC-3 – Carito Field reservoir and provide leverage to field production
goals.
 The increase in gas injection will keep
adequate pressure levels in the MUC-3 –
Carito Field reservoir, which will allow:
 Recovering up to 8.8 % of OOIP
(Original Oil In Place) of remaining
reserves and speed up the recovery of
remnant oil in the reservoir, which
amounts to approximately 23 MMbls in
20 years. This represents an average
increase of 3402 bpd of light oil.
 Prevent the asphaltene precipitation and
consequently the reservoir impairment.

Project Scope
Increase gas injection capacity at 9000 psig, in 180 MMSCFD, at the existing PIGAP I
facility, through the development of an Engineering, Procurement and Construction
(EPC) project and start up of:

• One (1) Compression Train (7th Train), driven by a 33,557 HP gas turbine,
additional to the five (05) existing trains, of proven technology which
have been in operation since 2000. Another one (6th Train), is under
construction.

• One (01) Semiautomatic Gas Manifold, which will feed the compression
trains and efficiently distribute gas streams at 1200 psig in gas production
facilities, as part of the entire Gas Injection Complex.

Compression trains, will be feed with incoming dry gas at 1200 psig from Santa
Barbara Extraction Plant and Accroven III.

Project Scope of Work – Main Procurement

In a period of 24 months Y&V will develop the Engineering, Procurement and

Construction (EPC) and Start Up for:
Main Equipment
• General Electric-Nuovo Pignone Turbo Compressor driven by a MS5002D Gas Turbine
• Turbo-compressors mechanical auxiliaries
• Plant Utilities: N2 Skids, Instrument Air Skid, Gas Skids
• Oil & Gas Coolers, Scrubbers, Process Valves, Piping, Rack
• Transformers, Control Rooms, Motor Control Centers (MCC)
Environmental and Social Cultural Impact Study
• Works to be performed in a long time intervened area, MUSCAR Complex.
• For both facilities, High Pressure Compression Train and Semiautomatic Gas Manifold, the
Environmental Impact Studies (EIA) have been completed and the Authorization Request
for Affecting Natural Resources (Autorización para Afectación de Recursos Naturales,
AARN), have been issued by the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources.
• Even when AARN’s are currently to date, they are in the process of renewal.
