Project Profile
Value: US$235 Million
Location: West Texas, Permian Basin
Capacity: 200 mmcf/d natural gas
Length: 60 miles
Startup Year: Q2 2013
The Red Bluff natural gas processing plant is a 200 MMSCFD greenfield project designed to produce purified NGL’s and natural gas for the petrochemical and utility industries. The new facility involves the integration of a Thomas Russell cryogenic module, two 1,050 gpm amine liquid treaters, two 15.5 gpm triethylene glycol dehydrators (TEG units), two 30,000 scfm regenerative thermal oxidizers, and other ancillary equipment.
BOP services encompassed foundation design for all equipment and components, civil site design, design for fabrication of all off-skid piping, pipe rack modules and supports, associated pipe stress analysis, electrical and instrumentation engineering for power distribution, grounding and lighting, instrument data sheets and electrical installation details. In addition, the project team provided master P&IDs, development of a coordinated project schedule, and assistance to ISTI on commissioning and start-up activities.
The facilities accommodates natural gas production from the Avalon, Bone Spring, and Wolfcamp plays of West Texas and Southeast New Mexico. As part of the project, 60 miles of pipeline will be constructed to deliver up to 20,000 bpd of NGL into Lone Star NGL’s Permian-to-Mt. Belvieu pipeline expansion, under a 15-year firm arrangement.
