Wellhead Compression Project 2021 PMC

29 May

Client: Pluspetrol Peru Corporation

Field (Type): Camisea (Gas & Condensate production; Onshore Peru)
Objectives:
- The client wanted to install a new compression train(s) by 2021
- The client wanted to undertake the EPC of the third compression train for the Camisea Wellhead Compression Project.
- To provide project management consultancy services and technical support relating to the ITT and RFQ processes for the new compression train.
- To undertake a capacity review of existing compression trains and determine their suitability for the additional compression duty
Challenge: The key driver for the procurement of the third compression train was the declining reservoir pressures of the Cashiriari field.
Our Engagement: Eta was engaged as Owner Engineer (Engineering Consultants) because of its unique gas compression expertise and understanding of the client’s asset portfolio.
Approach: a methodology based on Eta’s verify™ process was used
Stake:
- If the action was not taken to install an optimum compression train, declining reservoir pressures from the Cashiriari field could have led to a significant loss of production/revenue.
- In addition, well fluids from the reservoir would have not had sufficient pressure to meet the entry requirements to the central processing facility.
Results:
- Successfully carried out consistency checks to validate compressor envelopes and sparing/standby philosophy of existing and proposed new trains
- Successful preparation of turbo-compressor RFQ documents package
- Successful management of pre-bid and post-bid clarifications
- Successful technical evaluation of turbo-compressor bids
- Successful contract award recommendation based on technical evaluation
