1. PROJECT OVERVIEW
PetroVietnam Gas Corporation Block B - O Mon Pipeline Operating Company
(BPOC) is responsible for the development of the Block B - O Mon Gas Pipeline.
This project will be implemented to transport natural gas from a proposed Central
Processing Platform (CPP) located in Block B fields to Ca Mau, O Mon and
Neighboring Industrial Zones in provinces along the pipeline route.
The Block B-O Mon Gas Pipeline Project includes the following facilities:
Approximately 246.4km subsea pipeline with DN 700 (28”)
Mui Tram, Ca Mau Landfall station (LFS)
Approximately 152.4km onshore pipeline with DN 750 (30”) from Mui Tram
LFS to O Mon GDC
Nine Line Block Valve Stations (LBV)
A pipeline lateral section from LBV#2 to Ca Mau GDS: approximately
400m DN 250 (10”)
Ca Mau Gas Distribution Station (GDS)
A pipeline section from O Mon Gas Distribution Centre (GDC) to each O
Mon Power Plant
O Mon Gas Distribution Centre (GDC)
The project investment objective is to contribute to the economic development in
Southwest provinces and to secure gas/power supply in Vietnam.

3. SYSTEM MODEL
The hydraulic model of the facilities (Mui Tram LFS, Ca Mau GDS, and O Mon
GDC) can be done relatively simply by a combination of fixed flow resistance
elements along with the variable resistance pressure control valves. This is
depicted schematically below.
During the simulation, the control valves will work in conjunction with a controller
module and will open in an attempt to maintain the downstream set pressure.
Eventually the valve will go wide open and be at maximum Cv. From that point
on it will behave just as the other fixed flow resistance elements.
Notes:
1. Std Volume Flow is given for reference only and should not be used in calculations.
5. There is a tie-in for future facility down stream of Filter Separators at Mui Tram LFS. Hence, Design Flow of LFS inlet is higher than the outlet.
6. There is a tie-in for future facility down stream of Filter Separators at O Mon GDC. Hence, Design Flow of LFS is higher than the sum of the Design
Flow of Ca Mau GDS and O Mon Power Plant 1, 2, 3, 4.
Special cases are the heaters and the branch pipelines. Data for the heaters are
as follows:
Notes:
2. For GDS and GDC the temperatures are those downstream of the PCV
Heater cases will only be run if the corresponding non-heater case predicts liquid
dropout downstream of LBV2.

The total flow if all power plants are at design consumption is 20.286 MMSCMD.
When the total consumption for a case is less than this, the individual power
plant consumptions need to be proportionally reduced.
Objectives: System response. There does not seem to be a realistic scenario for
this.
Case R-1:
Gas production rate will be ramped up from minimum turndown flow rate of 2.067
MMSCMD to the flow rate of 20.3 MMSCMD per the production buildup schedule
appearing in Appendix 1.
Deliverables:
Plot of flow from CPP versus time.
Plots of pressure at CPP, LFS inlet, LFS outlet, GDS, and GDC inlet versus time.
Case P-1
CPP Shutdown, study the time taken for the redelivery pressure at Power Plant
(PP) to reach the minimum pressure. This occurs when all consumers drop
offline due to insufficient pressure. Initial condition is Steady State Case 1B .
Case P-2: same as P1 except initial condition is Steady State Case 2A3
There will be two variations of these cases related to the gas consumption during
this event. In Cases P-1A and P-2A consumption will be at the maximum rate
until the consumer drops offline. In Cases P-1B and P-2B consumption will be
initially at the maximum rate. After one hour, consumers will drop to the minimum
consumption rate. O Mon Power Plant 1 will ramp down from maximum to
minimum over a period of one hour. The other gas turbine power plants will be
considered to step down to minimum consumption immediately at that time.
Consumers will run at their minimum offtake until the they drop offline
Deliverables:
Plots of pressure at CPP, LFS inlet, LFS outlet, GDS, and GDC inlet, Ca Mau
PP2, O Mon PP1 and PP2-4 versus time.
Plots of temperature at LFS inlet, LFS outlet, GDS, and GDC inlet Ca Mau PP2,
O Mon PP1 and PP2-4 versus time
Plot of flow to GDC versus time.
Determine the time taken after an onshore facility shutdown, with the CPP still
sending out gas, until the pipeline inlet pressure at the CPP reaches Maximum
Delivery Pressure of 137.9 Barg, High High Pressure Shutdown of 145 Barg, and
Pipeline Design Pressure of 152.6 Barg. Initial condition is Steady State Case
1C.
Case L-1: O Mon GDC shutdown . Initial condition is 1C Steady State Case
Case L-3: No GDC operation, only GDS Operation. Initial Steady State Case to
be developed.
Deliverables:
Plots of pressure at CPP, LFS inlet, LFS outlet, GDS, and GDC inlet versus time.
Plots of temperature at CPP, LFS inlet, LFS outlet, GDS, and GDC inlet versus
time.
The objective is to determine time required for the offshore pipeline pressure to
decrease to 0.2 barg. The following blowdown cases are to be studied:
Case B-1:
Offspec gas case: Initial condition is Steady State Case 1A. Pipeline is
depressurized to a portable flare through a restriction orifice located at Mui Tram
LFS at an initial rate of 204,000 kg/h.
Deliverables:
Plots of pressure at CPP and LFS inlet versus time.
Plots of temperature at CPP and LFS inlet versus time.
Plots of flow to the LFS vent versus time.
Case B-2:
Offshore pipeline leak detection case (big leak case): One of the main concepts
in the depressurization cases is the technique of letting the consumers draw
down the pipeline pressure. This will be more effective and far more economical
than venting or flaring the gas.
The initial condition is Steady State Case 2A3. Depressurize the pipeline line
using the restriction orifice located at Mui Tram LFS and also drawdown by the
power plants.
Deliverables:
Plots of pressure at CPP, LFS inlet, LFS outlet, GDS, and GDC inlet Ca Mau
PP2, O Mon PP1 and PP2-4versus time.

O Mon PP1 and PP2-4versus time.
Plots of flow to the LFS vent, GDS, and GDC versus time.
Report condensation (if any) and liquid hold up generated while blowdown to
minimum delivery pressure to PPs.
Case B-3:
Offshore pipeline leak detection case (small leak case): Initial condition is Steady
State Case 2A3.
The Power Plants shall run at normal flow until the re-delivery pressure at end-
users is at minimum pressure. Then, the Offshore pipeline shall be blowdown
through the restriction orifice located at Mui Tram LFS.
Deliverables:
Plots of pressure at CPP, LFS inlet, LFS outlet, GDS, and GDC inlet Ca Mau
PP2, O Mon PP1 and PP2-4versus time.
Plots of temperature at LFS inlet, LFS outlet, GDS, and GDC inlet Ca Mau PP2,
O Mon PP1 and PP2-4versus time.

minimum delivery pressure to PPs.
Objectives:
Case S-1:
The flow rate into the pipeline is shut off (running start of CPP). The pipeline will
be shutdown for a period of 4 hours and restarted with the gas flowrate being
ramped up per the production buildup schedule appearing in Appendix 1.
Starts at the 4 hours point from case P-1.
Case S-2:
The flow rate into the pipeline is shut off and the pipeline is shutdown for a
period of 4 days and restarted with the gas flow rate from the CPP being
ramped up per the production buildup schedule appearing in Appendix 1.
Starts from case P-1 pipeline settleout condition.
Power plants restart as soon as there is sufficient pressure
Deliverables:

Initial Condition
Offshore and onshore pipeline dewatering completed. Pipelines are filled with
nitrogen to a pressure of 0.5 Barg.
Inlet SDV and PCV’s at LFS are closed. All onshore pipeline LBV’s, their
bypasses and inlet SDV’s at the GDS and GDC are closed.
Step I-1:
Step I-2:

second section of the pipeline. Determine time taken for pressure at second LBV
station to reach 10 barg.
Deliverables:
Plots of pressure at CPP, LFS inlet, LFS outlet, LBV1 and LBV2 versus time.
Plots of temperature at CPP, LFS inlet, LFS outlet, LBV1 and LBV2 versus time.
Allow 30 minutes for leak testing at LBV2. During that time flow from the LBV1 is
stopped.
Then restart flow from LBV1 and open 6-inch bypass at LBV2 to admit flow to
second section of the pipeline. Determine time taken for pressure at the third LBV
station to reach 10 barg.
Deliverables:
Plots of pressure at CPP, LFS inlet, LFS outlet, LBV1, LBV2 and LBV3 versus
time.
Plots of temperature at CPP, LFS inlet, LFS outlet, LBV1, LBV2 and LBV3 versus

Deliverables:
Similar to previous steps, just increasing numbers of LBV ststions to report.
Step I-12: Nitrogen removal step
Open inlet SDV to admit gas to the GDC and vents upstream of the SDV’s for
Power Plants at GDC outlets to PP1 and PP 2 - 4 until Hydrocarbon level is at
least 30%, then start up the fuel gas system. Close vents.
Deliverables:

time.
Plots of temperature at CPP, LFS inlet, LFS outlet, GDC inlet and GDC outlet
versus time.
Step I-13:
Continue to flow until pressure at the GDC reaches 40 barg so that PP1 can start
and pressure at LBV2 equals 45 Barg so that the Ca Mau GDS can startup,
whichever takes longer.
Deliverables:
Plots of pressure at CPP, LFS inlet, LFS outlet, and GDC inlet versus time.
Plots of temperature at CPP, LFS inlet, LFS outlet, GDC inlet and GDC outlet
versus time.
To assure that the pipeline system can abosorb the variations in consumption
while maintaining product at the daily average consumption rate.
Cases:
Case G-1: Dry Season, 4 O Mon PP + 1 Ca Mau PP, Basic consumption pattern
Case G-2: Dry Season, 4 O Mon PP + 1 Ca Mau PP, Low consumption pattern
Case G-3: Dry Season, 5 O Mon PP, Basic consumption pattern
Case G-4: Wet Season, 4 O Mon PP + 1 Ca Mau PP, High consumption pattern
Case G-5: Wet Season, 4 O Mon PP + 1 Ca Mau PP, Low consumption pattern
Case G-6: Worst Case Gas consumption
Data for these cases appears in Appendix 2.
Development of the initial condition for each case requires a steady state
simulation at the average offtake for each case at both the maximum supply
pressure and the minimum arrival pressure. Then the profile is assumed to be the
line through the middle of the envelope this establishes.
Deliverables:
Plots of pressure at CPP, LFS inlet, LFS outlet, GDS, and GDC inlet, Ca Mau
PP2, O Mon PP1 and PP2-4 versus time.
Plots of temperature at CPP, LFS inlet, LFS outlet, GDC inlet and GDC outlet
versus time.
