Gas Compression Plant

MODES OF OPERATION
 Mode A: Injection of all gas

 CO2 removal unit is by-passed;

 Fuel gas is imported from pipeline if necessary.

 Main compressors can run in any configuration (only 1 compressor, 2 of 3 and all 3
compressors), therefore it shall be foreseen the load transfer from one compressor
to another.

 Exportation compressors can run in any configuration (only 1 compressor, 2 of 3

and all 3 compressors), therefore it shall be foreseen the load transfer from one
compressor to another.

 Injection compressors can run in any configuration (only unit A, only unit B or
both), therefore it shall be foreseen the load transfer from one compressor to
another.

 Mode B: HC exportation plus CO2 Injection:

 Gas treated by CO2 removal unit is used for fuel gas, gas lift and the excess gas is
exported.

 CO2 is injected.

 Depending on gas composition, there will be 2 predominant operating modes in

steady conditions: 2 exportation compressor with 1 CO2 compressor or 1
exportation compressor with 2 CO2 compressors.

 Main compressors can run in any configuration (only 1 compressor, 2 of 3 and all 3
compressors), therefore it shall be foreseen the load transfer from one compressor
to another.

 Exportation compressors can run in any configuration (only 1 compressor, 2 of 3

and all 3 compressors), therefore it shall be foreseen the load transfer from one
compressor to another.

 CO2 compressors can run in any configuration (only unit A, only unit B or both),
therefore it shall be foreseen the load transfer from one compressor to another.

 Injection compressors can run in any configuration (only unit A, only unit B or
both), therefore it shall be foreseen the load transfer from one compressor to
another.

Mode C: Injection of HC and CO2 – Separated wells (Injection compressor A runs with HC
and Injection Compressor B runs with CO2):

 Exportation Compressors run with HC.

 Each Injection compressor runs with a different gas (Unit A runs with HC and Unit B
runs with CO2)

 Each Injection Compressor can run with distinct discharge pressures.

 Main compressors can run in any configuration (only 1 compressor, 2 of 3 and all 3
compressors), therefore it shall be foreseen the load transfer from one compressor
to another.

 Exportation compressors can run in any configuration (only 1 compressor, 2 of 3

and all 3 compressors), therefore it shall be foreseen the load transfer from one
compressor to another.

 CO2 compressors can run in any configuration (only unit A, only unit B or both),
therefore it shall be foreseen the load transfer from one compressor to another.

 Mode D: Partial Injection/Exportation – Partial bypass of CO2 Removal Unit:

 Part os gas from Main Compressors is bypassed from CO2 removal unit. On this mode,
Exportation compressors can run with different gases (e.g.: Unit A runs with HC and Unit C runs
with HC+CO2).

 Suction pressure of Exportation compressors are distinct between the ones that are running with
HC+CO2 and the ones running with HC.

 Main compressors can run in any configuration (only 1 compressor, 2 of 3 and all 3 compressors),
therefore it shall be foreseen the load transfer from one compressor to another.

 Exportation Compressor Unit B can run either with HC or HC+CO2

 Exportation compressors Unit B and Unit A can run in paralell or compressors Unit B and Unit C
can run in paralell. Therefore it shall be foreseen the load transfer from one compressor to
another (B+A or B+C).

 CO2 compressors can run in any configuration (only unit A, only unit B or both), therefore it shall
be foreseen the load transfer from one compressor to another.

 Each Injection compressor runs with a different gas (Unit A runs with HC+CO2 and Unit B runs
with CO2).

 Each Injection Compressor can run with distinct discharge pressures.
