Gas Processing - Completed


Location  West Kuwait - Kuwait
Investment  950,000,000 USD
Announced  1/1/2009
Scope  Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) plans to build a new gas booster station (BS-171) in west Kuwait. The booster station will comprise three new identical two stage compressor trains high and low-pressure (LP & HP), including gas & condensate dehydration trains. Each train shall be capable of processing 125 million Cubic Feet a Day (CF/D) of sour gas. The booster station feeding gas will come from the existing gathering centers 17, 27, 28 and the new gathering centre 16 so the BS-171 contract will also cover an extensive pipeline network from these units to the booster station.

The project scope consists of detailed design, procurement, supply, construction, pre-commissioning and commissioning of the following:
1- A new BS-171 facility and associated access roads in West Kuwait.
2- Interconnecting pipelines between BS-171 and the feeder GCs (GC-17, 27, 28 and GC-16 (New) and also between BS-171 and Tie-in Points TP1/TP2.
3- Installation of new equipment and tie-ins at GC-17/27/28 and also GC-16 (New).
4- A new Intermediate Slug Catcher (ISC) facility and associated access roads in South East Kuwait.

The facilities shall be built with processing and exporting facilities for a maximum of 234 MMSCFD of dry and conditioned export gas and 69,000 Act BPD of treated condensate to Mina Al Ahmadi Acid Gas Removal Plant (AGRP).

KOC aims to ensure that 500 MBOPD crude production level and nominal 250 MMSCFD gas export from West Kuwait facilities is sustainable while keeping flaring below 1% per annum.
