![]() ![]() The XHP separator, which constitutes an additional separation stage, will enhance liquid recovery amounting to 500bopd starting from 2019, decrease waste associated gas production and conserve off-separator gas pressure. With peak production of 26,000 bopd, the station needs to be upgraded and debottlenecked by installing an XHP separator, as well as replacing identified under-sized lines, to resolve the identified constraints. Results showed that the flow-station, which can handle the current field production albeit a minor restriction by the HP Flare KO Vessel outlet line and flare line, cannot handle the forecast production beyond 2016 owing mainly to limitations in the HP separator gas handling, under-sized process lines and an ultimate restriction from the LP separator oil outlet line. API 12J and API 14E criterion were then employed to determine the fluid handling capacity of the vessels and the sizing adequacy of the process lines respectively. Process simulation models, based on the facility's existing configuration and the proposed configuration, were developed with Aspen Hysys v7 using the Peng-Robinson fluid package. ![]() Thus, in view of this anticipated increase in field production, it is expedient to assess the capacity and performance of the station, identifying bottlenecks that need to be addressed as well as defining requirements for the field's further development programme. Its current production potential is 6,200bopd and a 35MMscfd, increasing steadily to a peak of 26,000bopd and 98MMscfd by 2022. The reservoirs are of volatile-oil/condensate type, producing with comparatively high GOR and high FTHP. three-phase separator is realized in the following steps. All separation processes in HYSYS are based on phase equilibrium which. of the PRO/II, HYSYS, and Aspen HYSYS simulators were carried out. The XYZ field has a single-train two-stage separation facility consisting of a 3-phase test separator, a 3-phase HP separator, and a 3-phase LP separator. The three phase separator is a more generic unit operation by which one gas phase and two liquid phase can be separated. ![]()
