Nitrogen Calculation

1. Section 1 + 2 + 5 = 73.68 + 11.39 + 8.19 = 93.26 m3 = 586.588bbls

Pressure = 130kg/cm2 = 1,849psi
Nitrogen Volume Factor @ 80°F and 1,849psi = 729.72 scf /bbl

Volume of Nitrogen Require

NVF x Volume = 729.72 x 586.588 = 428, 045 scf
= 4,602.6 gal (N2)

2. Section 3 + 4 + 6 = 81.86 + 106.42 + 117.75 = 242.21m3 = 1,523.455bbls

Pressure = 2kg/cm2 = 28.44psi
Nitrogen Volume Factor @ 80°F and 28.44psi = 19.73 scf /bbl

Volume of Nitrogen Require

NVF x Volume = 19.73 x 1,523.455 = 30,058 scf
= 323.3 gal (N2)

3. Nitrogen Pump Cool-down Volume = 100 gal (N2)

4. Volume of Nitrogen Required = 4,602.6 + 19.74 + 100 gal

= 4, 722.34 gal (N2)

5. Total Nitrogen Volume Plus 20% Safety Margin = 4,722.34 x 1.20 gal (N2)
= 5,666.8 gals (N2)

This approximately 6,000gal (3Nitrogen tanks each 2000 gallons)
