Project Description
Client: NPDC
Capacity: 50MMSCF
Status: ONGOING
Scope
The Egbema West NAG GHF is designed to gather, treat and compress flared gasses to required specification and pressure, and route the resulting sales gas to the NDPHC owned Egbema Independent Power Project pipeline. Specifically, the Egbema West NAG GHF is designed to produce 50 MMSCF/D of gas
The Project Scope includes Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Installation and Commissioning for:
Main Process Skids
• Gas Compressor Unit.
• Inlet Header Skid.
• Refrigeration Unit.
• Glycol Unit.
• Liquid Handling Skid.
• Gas Metering Skid& Sales Gas Manifold.
• HCDP Control Skid.
• Fuel Gas Unit.
• Instrument Air Unit.
• Flare Unit.
• Pipe Rack System/ Plant Layout.
Others
• Power Generators.
• MCC + Switchgear + UPS Package.
• FAR / Control Room.
• Telecommunication Systems
Project Design Objective
The design for the Egbema West NAG GHF Project is consistent with:
- Eliminating flaring of the gas produced from the flowstation.
- Supporting operability, maintainability and reducing NPDC’s OPEX.
- Supporting sustainable development of host community.
- Giving due focus to HSSE standards.
- Standardizing design template and equipment packages such that they can be modularised and be adapted for other locations.
- The needs for operational integrity throughout the projected minimum 30 years life cycle of the Facilities.
- The requirements of the gas customers, as specified in the gas sales contracts.
- Meeting the requirements of high availability, cost effective operations, minimum maintenance and environmental sustainability.
- Minimisation of site work to reduce exposure of personnel and equipment by driving off-site pre-fabrication and pre-commissioning of equipment packages.
- Designs to allow parts of the project to be fabricated and/or constructed as much as possible in Nigeria by Nigerian companies.
- Low operator intervention and minimised use of consumables.
- Optimum use of existing utilities and infrastructure.
- Flexibility with respect to future development scenarios.
Engineering
Front End Engineering design (FEED)
Project currently in FEED phase and expected to be completed to International Standards. HAZOP Workshop completed. SIL Classification, Technical & Preliminary Plot Reviews ongoing and scheduled to run from 4th November-16th November, 2013 in ENERFLEX Houston office, USA. ENERFLEX is commissioned to design and fabricate process-related equipment with oversight functions provided primarily by MAKON and ultimately by NPDC, the end user.
Detailed Engineering Design (DED)
Project in FEED phase. ENERFLEX to handle DED phase of the project. Oversight function to be provided primarily by MAKON and ultimately by NPDC.
Procurement
As a result of the direct derivative of the FEED and DED, Procurement is divided into Major Equipment and Materials (Foreign Long Lead Items and Overseas Bulk items) and Minor Equipment and Materials (Local procurements).
Construction and Installation
