Abu Dhabi plant on track for major expansion
Expansion under way at the Habshan gas-processing plant, some 150 km southwest of Abu Dhabi City, Emirate of Abu Dhabi, will by the end of 1999 increase processing capacity to about 3 bcfd from current capacity of about 2 bcfd. Phase 1 of the project has just been completed and most of the major units are operating. This project was initiated to achieve four major objectives: (1) meet increased consumer demand for gas; (2) increase revenue by production of condensate, NGL, and sulfur; (3) process excess associated gas produced at the Bab oil separation plant; and (4) maintain oil reservoir pressure by gas injection. The paper describes the advanced features, condensate treatment, processes, control philosophy, safety, and the environment.
