INTRODUCTION
Tatweer Petroleum is undertaking a field development project to increase oil and associated
gas production by drilling three hundred (300) new gas lift wells.
To handle production from these new wells and some of other future wells, it is planned to
install two (2) identical new well manifolds facilities # 32 & 33.
Accordingly, gross liquid production of 99,000 BLPD and 210 MMSCFD gas is expected from
these new wells. Some wells will be connected to existing well manifolds and WTP’s and the
remaining 200 new wells will be connected to the two (2) new well manifolds WM-32 and WM-
33 (100 wells each to the 2 new well manifolds).
Description of Existing Facilities
Tatweer Petroleum presently operates 31 well manifolds (WM) and 8 tank batteries (TB) to
separate out the gas, oil and water. Legacy well manifolds range from WM-1 to WM-16 and
the new well manifolds range from WM-17 to WM-31. In legacy well manifolds, a few are
associated with the tank battery referred as local well manifolds, whereas the rest are called
remote well manifolds.
Existing remote well manifolds are equipped with two-phase separator to separate out the
liquid and associated gas. The associated gas feeds to the compression network and
produced liquid feeds to local well manifold where oil and water are separated in a Free Water
Knock Out drum (FWKO) or a 3 Phase separator. Local well manifolds feed to the local Gas
Oil Separator (GOSP) or 3 Phase separator along with produced liquid received from remote
well manifolds. In case of a GOSP, water and oil are separated in the FWKO. Water is sent to
the water treatment plant and from there for disposal. Oil feeds to the tanks; prior to shipping.
Description of The New Facilities
To handle production from new wells and some of the existing ones, it is planned to install two
(2) identical new well manifolds facilities # 32 & 33.
Each facility will be equipped with 2-Phase Production separator, production and test header
modules, test separators, produced liquid Buffer tank, produced Liquid pumps and the
associated utilities. Each New Well Manifold facility shall be designed to handle 39,000 BPD
of produced liquid and 75 MMSCFD of Associated gas. The header module shall be provided
with 100 wells slots at each manifold. All utilities like Instrument Air, Plant air, Fuel gas system,
Flare system, Chemical injection skids, Drain system, Control system and incoming electrical
supply receiving RMU, transformer and distribution within the plant (WM) forms part of the well
manifold scope of work.
