Wellhead Compression Project 2021 PMC

  • 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
