The first platform compressor installed in the Campeche Gulf to process associated natural gas has started operation with a capacity to process 400 mmcfd of gas which will be transported through a submarine gas pipeline to onshore terminals. Four compression modules are installed on the platform, each with a capacity of 100 mmcfd. This is the first of 7 compression platforms to be installed in Campeche Bay. With these platforms, Mexico will make possible the total use of its gas production from that area, expecting to utilize 98% of the associated gas, a similar proportion to the utiliziation of gas in onshore fields. The installation program and the characteristics of the compression platforms are presented along with a program to utilize the total gas production from the rich Campeche Gulf.
