Abstract

Flared gas emission control from an oil production platform. Phys. Sci. , 30(Supp. 1), 125–147, ABSTRACT: In Samarang oil platform of Repsol (Talisman) Malaysia Limited, there is a need to increase its current oil production that would result in an increase of the associated/excess gas from 21 mmscfd to 31 mmscfd. The current low-pressure gas system on the platform is designed to accommodate up to 21 mmscfd of gas. The excess produced gas of 10 mmscfd, if not re-injected back into the reservoir, shall need to be flared on a daily basis in order to maximise the oil production rate. This gas flaring expends large amounts of energy and causes environmental degradation and potential health risk. There are four practical cases being considered in this unprecedented effort to control the flared gas and its resulting emissions from the industrially practical standpoint. Three cases use the existing compressor and varying compressor suction pressure between 5 barg and 6 barg with total compressors power is limited up to 2280 kW. The flared gas emission for these cases ranges from 7 mmscfd to 1 mmscfd, which is lower than the expected flowrate of 10 mmscfd. In the case where a new compressor is installed, a zero flared rate is achieved.

某采油平台燃烧气体排放控制

石油生产平台燃烧气体排放控制。理论物理。科学。, 30(增刊。摘要:在Repsol (Talisman) Malaysia Limited的Samarang石油平台，需要增加其当前的石油产量，这将导致伴生/过剩天然气从2100万立方英尺/天增加到31万立方英尺/天。目前平台上的低压气体系统设计为可容纳高达21 mmscfd的气体。如果不将多余的10百万立方英尺/天的产出气体重新注入储层，则需要每天进行燃烧，以最大限度地提高石油产量。这种气体燃烧消耗大量能源，造成环境退化和潜在的健康风险。从工业实践的角度来看，在这一史无前例的控制燃烧气体及其产生的排放的努力中，有四个实际情况正在考虑之中。三种情况下，使用现有的压缩机和在5barg和6barg之间变化的压缩机吸入压力，压缩机总功率限制在2280 kW。在这些情况下，燃烧气体排放量在7至1 mmscfd之间，低于10 mmscfd的预期流量。在安装新压缩机的情况下，可以实现零膨胀率。
