Project Profile
Value: Undisclosed
Location: Northern Oman
Processing plant capacity: 48 million standard cubic metres of gas per day
Compression capacity: 76 MW of gas with 4 trains
Start-up Year: -
The Saih Rawl Depletion Compression (SRDC) project is one of several initiatives launched by PDO to sustain gas flows from reservoirs that have been in production for several years resulting in a drop in reservoir pressure and includes the construction of a processing and a gas compression plant. Production from the Saih Rawl (SR) Gas Fields, which are the largest in PDO \'s concession, commenced in 1999. However due to declining reservoir pressure in Saih Rawl Main (SRM) Field, the Saih Rawl Main wells Flowing Tubing Pressure will continuously decline until it reaches 35 bar in the first quarter 2015. In order to continue to produce on-spec gas through the Central Processing Plant (CPP) in first quarter 2015, second stage depletion compressors (SRDC2) are required to be installed upstream of the SRDC1. The SRDC2 involves installation of 76 MW of gas compression capacity with 4 trains, and modification of the condensate handling system at CPR. This will enable the Saih Rawl Main field to produce Maximum Annual Daily Load (MADL) of 30 MMSCMD gas.
Phase 1 of the Saih Rawl Depletion Compression project was officially inaugurated by PDO in April 2011. The depletion compression project managed to boost inlet pressure from 36 bar to 96 bar and the new plant has a capacity to handle 48 million standard cubic metres of gas per day. Beside the compression plant, a new power station with a total capacity of 120 megawatts was constructed as part of the project to cater for the increased power demand. Gas and condensates from the Saih Rawl field are collected and processed at Saih Rawl Central Processing Plant where the depletion compression is located. The treated gas is then sent to key customers such as Oman Liquefied Natural Gas (OLNG), Qalhat LNG, Power stations and desalination units, Oman India Fertilizer Company, Sur Light Industrial Area and South Oman Gas Line via a pipeline known as the Interconnector.
