Economic optimization of ARCO E. O. R. nitrogen plant
- Arco Oil and Gas Co., Dallas, TX (US)
- M.W. Kellogg Co., Houston, TX (US)
In 1986 ARCO determined that for both technical and economic reasons their Block 31, Crane, Texas EOR Program of compressing and injecting CO/sub 2/ scrubbed boiler flue gas should be replaced with a nitrogen injection system. ARCO decided that the most effective means to achieve their objective was to pool their experience with that of a general contractor with specific experience related to air separation plant design. This made it practical to pre-order the gas turbine and prepare the plant layout, including piping tie-ins concurrently with the bid preparation for the cold boxes and compressors. Once the vendors for the cold box and compressor were selected, there were opportunities to enhance the specific design criteria of selected items in order to maximize operating flexibility of the facility.
