The presentation considers original end of field life design constraints on crude oil separators and in a logi cal progression illustrates how hidden capacity in a separator can be iden tified and used to upgrade the separator, both by maximizing the use of av ailable volume in the separator and also by the use of upgraded process in ternals.
The presentation also describes the methods available for installing upgraded internals covering clamp type internals through to ful l vessel modification including fitting of new process nozzles.
Asp ects including mechanical design evaluation, HSE compliance requirements a nd chemical treatment considerations are also covered.
Summary and Conclusions \;
For crude oil separators, associated equipment and systems the late lif e field operation design case (usually maximum produced water production) is constrained by the economics of initial facility development budgets
Once this design point is reached achieving both produced water flow rate and quality (oil-in-water content) requires upgrade of the separators and equipment
Additionally, tie-ins of satel lite fields can require upgrade of crude oil separators and associated equ ipment and systems
This presentation has demonstrated a logical approach to investigating available capacity once original design point has been reached
Whilst this presentation has focu sed on crude oil separator upgrades for handling late life field productio n it must be remembered that such upgrades have to take a holistic perspec tive and consider the complete crude oil, hydrocarbon gas and produced wat er processing system requirements. It is only by considering the complete production facilities that successful late field life production can be co rrectly designed for resulting in the maximising of hydrocarbon production and recovery.
