West Dikirnis Field Development Project Execution Case Study
Agenda • West Dikirnis – An Introduction • Phased Development • Development of the Concept • Obtaining Project Approval • Sourcing the equipment • Putting it altogether • Getting it to work
Aims • Give you an understanding of how projects happen – the life cycle • Show that engineering projects are interesting • You made the right choice being an engineer
West Dikirnis • Discovered mid 2006 • Located in the Nile delta • 1st Oil field in the region • Production started in November 2007 • LPG on stream Aug 2009 • Refrigeration planned for September 2011
Development in Phases • Phase I – Separation & stabilisation • Phase II – LPG Recovery • Phase III - Refrigeration
Obtaining Approval • Develop Concept • Prepare Cost Estimate • Develop Schedule • Convince Melrose – find finance • Convince Partners
Sourcing the Equipment LPG Storage Tanks Dubai Separators Ukraine Stabilisation UK VRU Canada Column Trays UK Hot Oil Pumps Germany Reboilers Romania Export Pumps (LPG & MOL) Korea Skid Fabrication Hot Oil Drum Flare KO Drum Columns Bulgaria
Moment of Truth • Due to weight restrictions – no mating possible until on site
Fractionation system De-Ethaniser De-Butaniser De-Butaniser Reboiler De-Ethaniser Reboiler Hot Oil Expansion Tank Hot Oil Fired Heater Hot Oil Circulation Pumps
Getting it to work • VRU • Suction Pressure • Liquid carry over • Hot Oil • Get rid of the water!!! • Towers • Tune it, then tune it again
