Control instrumentation for wellheads and mud kill system

Conference · · Soc. Pet. Eng. AIME, Pap.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5809277

This work describes the wellhead and mud kill system instrumentation installed at the Mobile Oil Indonesia Arun natural gas field in N. Sumatra. The first part describes the controls and instrumentation associated with the field production wells. The philosophy behind the design of the pressure controls and pressure protection system is discussed, including details of the layout and operation of the various wellhead control panels. The second part of the study covers the well kill system at Arun and in particular describes the instrumentation and control equipment. A full description is given of the pressure and flow monitoring system and of the problems encountered when measuring the flow rate of well kill mud. The remote controls necessary for the system are described also.
