KPC Qasr - Installation

(KPC), a joint venture between Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC), Apache, is one of the largest oil & gas producer in Egypt.

KPC is in operation since 1985 as an oil producer.

In the beginning of the century, Apache has discovered a huge gas field in the Western Desert called “QASR”.

It was decided to go for a fast track project to utilize the discovered gas.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Up to 20 gas producing wells are provided with a solar powered Wellhead Control Panel (WHCP).

The gas is routed to a central area at Qasr Manifold for delivery in to the main export pipeline.

All wells are within 10km of the Qasr Manifold.

Qasr Manifold: The manifold site prepares the gas for entry into the pipeline to Shams.

Free water is removed, cooled and injected with inhibitors and H2S scavenger.

Shams: The site has a manifold system with isolation valves and a minimum set of instrumentation.

Obayied: At Obayied, the gas is stripped of free water and condensate, and metered to a fiscal standard prior to delivery to the adjacent Shell gas facility.

Tarek: At Tarek, the gas is received for processing.

Block Valve Facilities: As per ASME Standards four isolation valves are provided.

Actuators are remotely operable by the respective PCS.

Salam Facilities: The Salam site is the Central Control System (CCS).

It has a Honeywell TDC 3000 control system that has been modified for monitoring & control of the new facilities at Qasr Manifold, Obayied, Shams, and Tarek via fiber optic network as a primary link and VSAT as a backup link.

 REQUIREMENTS:

  1. PLC’s
  2. HMI
  3. Polling the data of the isolation block valves.
  4. Polling the data of the gas wells RTU’s via VHF link
  5. Factory Acceptance Test
  6. Training
  7. Site Acceptance Test

All the data shall be made available for monitoring and control at the Salam Site DCS via fiber optic network.

A major key issue in the selection of the successful contractor was the delivery time and ability to supply the field instrumentation, installation and commissioning which are completely in our scope of activities.
