Providence Central Processing Facility
Wolverine Gas and Oil Company
Scope of Work:
Alliance performed conceptual design services for a Central Processing Facility (CPF). Alliance performed separation optimization studies using a PVT study and HYSYS process modeling software for normal, upside and downside production cases. The material balance, heat duties, compression horsepower, equipment sizing and line sizing were all derived from the process model. A relief system with flare was also included in the design. Data sheets and specifications were developed for major equipment and systems so that pricing quotations could be obtained.
Project Description:
The Providence CPF is a gas-oil-water separation facility designed to handle 1500 BOPD, 150 BWPD, and 7 MMscfd of associated gas. Inlet conditions are 250 psig and 72o F. Crude oil is recovered via a high pressure separator, heater-treater, and low pressure storage with mixing. Crude is stored in tanks prior to truck loading and measurement via an automated LACT unit. Separated water flows to an impoundment pond or injection well. Gas is compressed in multiple stages and re-injected into the production formation. Accommodations for a future pipeline and truck loading site were also part of the design.
