OPTIMIZING PRODUCTION: INJECTING LOW SALINITY FRESH WATER IN WELLS TO INCREASE PRODUCTION.
Injecting fresh water in wells to increase production has been a long-awaited project for GUPCO’s stakeholders since the time BP’s executives and the EGPC endorsed this method some time ago. The GUPCO LoSal EOR project, will substitute a low-salinity fresh water injection stream in place of the seawater currently utilized for pressure maintenance within the GUPCO Morgan and Badri fields.
KARAM & ASSIL GAS TREATMENT PROJECT
The Karam and Assil project is one of the most important gas treatment projects operated by Bapetco, as it produces about 150mcf of natural gas and 2000 b/d of condensate. The project successfully was started on November 2014 and is located in the Western Desert, about 300 km west of Cairo.
QPC – Karama Fields – Power Requirements Project
Increasing power generation by using MPUs turbines (Mobile Power Units) with ISO power of 8.4 MW to cover the required power at karama fields.
Belayim Development Project- New Land Oil Train
Existing plant separation units are not achieving the required oil/water separation due to increasing water cut (80%) and aging of the equipment (20 years). Meeting the increased production of the plant (200 KBPD vs. 90 KPBD current capacity).
DCS System for Petreco Plant
This Petrobel project includes upgrading of an existing obsolete control system at Petreco control room from single loop to control to DCS system, and also including field instruments replacement to cope with DCS.
DEKA Development Project
The DEKA project launched by Petrobel is targeting the development of both the Denise and Karawan fields in Temsah Concession located at offshore Egypt in order to add a Natural Gas production of about 210 MMScfd, with an estimated cost of $ 470 MM. The Denise field is about 70 km off the Egyptian coast, while Karawan field is about 60 km off the Egyptian coast. The Denise field is in water depth of about 100 m and the Karawan field is about 68 m in depth. KHALDA’S KALABSHA GAS EARLY PRODUCTION FACILITIES UPGRADE PROJECT
