Injection Enhancement Phase 2 Feasibility Study*

18 May

Client: Centrica Storage Limited

Field (Type): Rough (Gas Storage; Offshore & Onshore UK)
Objectives:
- Following the previous successful injection enhancement project, the client wanted to explore the feasibility of further injection enhancements via minor and major operational and equipment modifications
- The client needed support with the simulation and validation of the existing baseline deliverability of the asset
- The client required help to identify potential injection debottlenecking opportunities
- The client wanted a phased implementation roadmap to be recommended and prepared.
Challenge: The driver for this study was to maximise the injection capacity of the facility to improve project economics
Our Engagement*: We were engaged as Engineering Consultants because of our unique gas compression expertise and understanding of the client’s asset portfolio.
Approach: Methodology like Eta’s modgas™ process was used
Stake: Potential failure to get the best out of high value gas storage asset and consequent lack of economic benefits
Results:
- Rigorous appraisal of enhancement and debottlenecking options successfully carried out
- Successfully demonstrated that 23% increase in injection rates were feasible with various modifications
- Successful development of indicative implementation roadmap

* NB: Some projects may have been performed by consultant in previous roles.
