5.1.2- Sour Feed Condensate Composition & Rates
The condensate produced from field facilities Attahady, Hateiba
.Facilities, these condensate products will combined in one stream to
feed the stabilizer in the new Gas Plant at one time.
The maximum condensate feed rate from the field facilities to the
Stabilizer is expected to be 20 MBPD. The design feed rate to the
Stabilizer should be 30 MBPD.
The normal operating pressure of the condensate at the inlet to the
stabilizer is between .. psia and psia, and the average
temperature is between 55-90 F, depending on winter and summer
conditions. The average temperature is expected to be around 70 F.
The condensate stream from time to time, could contains free water
with a high salt content ( the possibility to utilize the existing new
Desalter should be checked, to remove any trace of water and salt that
may be present in the condensate , we attached the desalter data sheet,
P&ID and other related drawing).
We have to be sure that the condensate is always at a safe operating
margin above the condensate bubble point pressure to prevent flashing
of the condensate.
Composition of the condensate as its attached in the table 2
There are two feed compositions that need to be considered. These are:
TP
REV.
PAGE:
Heavy Case Sour Condensate with heavy composition. Where in this

case will be more bottom condensate production and more load on the
bottom Stabilizer re-boiler, and bottom pumps.
Light Case Sour Condensate with light composition. Where in this
case will be more top stabilizer product and more load on the overhead
gas compressor.
The production of the stabilizer will be stable condensate (naphtha ),
and Gas where it will directed to combined raw gas feed, to treated in
the gas plant.

5.2- Process Description
5.2.1- Gas Stream in Gas Pant

The raw gas from Naser, Wadi, Jebel, Lehib, Raguba and other
facilities, should combined in on line, and delivered to compressors
unit to increase the pressure up to 405 psia in first compressing stage,
in second compressing stage to about 640 psia. Each Compressor
should be provided with suction and discharge drum also before each
discharge drum heat exchanger( air cooler fan ) should be provided, to
cool down the stream and enable better removing the humidity and the
condensate from the Gas stream. Condensate should be collected from
all suctions and discharges drums to be delivered finally to the
stabilizer unit.
Consultant Engineering should advice if compressing the raw gas is
better to be done in one stage or two stage. Compressors to Gas
turban or electrical powered motor.
Gas with pressure about 640 should be delivered to the gas treatment
unit, to remove H2S and CO2. Company prefer to use MDEA
treatment technology, where the company used to use this technology,
in the existing Gas Plant, unless the consultant engineering company
advice with different technology, this will be subjected to the
availability of the H2S and CO2 in the raw gas and the selectivity of
TP
REV.
PAGE:
the advised technology to H2S and CO2. Any changes to other

technology should be discussed with the SOC, to get agreement from
the SOC.
Sweet gas from MDEA treating unit will be cooled down by
exchanging the heat with cooled gas from after propane chiller drum by
heat exchanger, the sweet gas stream after the heat exchanger, will
enter the separating drum before the propane chiller to separate the
water and the condensate, the condensate will delivered to the De
Ethanizer as part of De-Ethanizer feed. Sweet gas from the top of the
separator will be directed to the Propane Chiller, Chiller should reduce
the stream temperature up to about 20 F or 0 F or -20 F, Consultant
Engineering Company should do their study to find out the
optimum cooling temperature at the outlet of the chiller, where it
will affect the product specification. (Company is preferring to have
Propane chiller, unless the Consultant Engineering Company advice
with better option so that should be discussed with the SOC to be
approved).
Sweet gas stream after propane chiller, will be directed to separator
drum, to separate the condensate and any trace of water, the sweet gas
from the top of the separator, will be directed to the heat exchanger, as
coolant flow, and cool down the sweet stream going to the separation
drum before the chiller, as first stage of cooling, before the propane
chiller, the sweet gas stream after the heat exchanger will be deliver it
to the coastal pipeline or to the petrochemical as sweet gas products.
The condensate from the separation drum, after propane chiller will be
directed to the heat exchanger, to be heated up and cool down the
propane in the chiller unit. The condensate stream after heat exchanger,
TP
REV.
PAGE:
will be mixed with the condensate from the separation drum before the
propane chiller and both streams will be delivered in one stream as feed
to the De Ethanizer unit, after reducing the stream pressure from about
585 psia to about 505 psia.
The re-boiler at the De-Ethanizer column will use hot oil as heating
effluent, unless the Consultant Engineering Company will advice in
different heating agent, if Consultant engineering company have
different advice should be discussed with the company f or approval.
The overhead stream at the De-Ethanizer will be cooled by propane
cooler up to 20 or 23 F (the consultant engineering company should
make their study to find out the optimum cooling temperature and
condition at the De-Ethanazer column) the stream at the top of the
De-Ethanizer will be directed to the separator to separate the C1& C2
gas, and liquid to be used as reflex, The C1& C2 stream from the top
products stream of the De-Ethanizer where this stream pressure about
500 psia and temperature is about 25F ( this gas stream could be used
as coolant to the top of De-Propanizer column stream, consultant
engineering to check this possibility where it could be more
efficient) will be directed to companied with the suction side of the
second compression stage.
The condensate at the bottom of the De-Ethanizer will be delivered to
the De-propanizer column, after reducing the condensate stream
pressure from about 500 psia to about 300 psia, where propane should
be separated from this condensate stream at the De-Propanizer .
The boiler at the bottom of De-Propanizer Column should use heated
oil as heating effluent unless Consultant engineering advice
TP
REV.
PAGE:
different agent (this should be discussed with the company for

approval).
The De-PropanIzer column conditions should be optimized to achieve
the most possible purity of the C3.
The overhead stream at the top of the De-Propanizer should be cooled
down by the air heat exchanger or by the product of the top of DeEthanizer, as consultant will advice. Part of this stream will be used
as reflex to control the top column temperature and the rest will be the
Propane top product.
The propane will be delivered to the existing storage tanks.
The condensate at the bottom of the De-Propanizer should be delivered
to the De-Butanaizer after reducing the stream pressure from about 300
psia to about 100 psia, again the boiler at the bottom of the DeButanaizer, should use hot oil as heating agent, unless consultant
engineering advice deferent agent. The overhead produced at the top
of the De-Butanaizer column will cooled down by air cooler. After
cooling the overhead stream will be directed to the separator, part of
the LPG will be used as reflex, to control the top column temperature,
the rest will be delivered to the existing storage tanks, the bottom
Naphtha product of the De-Butanaizer column will be pumped to
combined with the Stabilizer naphtha product after the stabilizer
bottom product pump before the air cooler, and delivered to the
existing storage.
5.2.2- Condensate Stream to the Stabilizer
TP
REV.
PAGE:
The Stabilizer column expected to operate at a pressure level which

results in a tower bottoms temperature which will comply with the
limitations imposed by the temperature of the hot oil of the bottom reboiler ( hot oil in the re-boiler will be used as heating agent unless
the consultant engineering will advice with deferent heating agent)
and the fact that no cooling water will be available. The latter limitation
results in a higher naphtha rundown temperature to storage. This, in
turn, necessitates a lower allowable RVP value to prevent naphtha
flashing in the atmospheric storage tanks.
Process description for both cases heavy and light condensate will be
typical, the different in the process parameters and condition.
The condensate feed to the Stabilizer will split into a cold feed and a
hot feed. The Stabilizer column has no-refluxed. The cold feed, enters
through control valve to the top tray as reflux, the remainder of the feed
will passes through another control valve to be heated in the
feed/bottoms exchanger, this two control valves should be provided
with ratio controller to vary the ratio of the cold to hot feed, as desired.
The condensate streams from the bottom of suction and discharge
compressors drums, will combined with stabilizer feed stream, the feed
bottoms exchanger will exchange the heat between the bottom feed and
the bottom products, the outlet exchanger stream feed temperature will
be controlled by controlling the product stream at the bypass line of the
heat exchanger. The hot feed enters the Stabilizer column at tray
should be specified by the consultant, the product quality should be
monitored. Hence, it is important to design the facility such that the
operating parameters such as the hot to cold feed ratio and the feed
temperature to the Stabilizer can be maintained the same, regardless of
TP
REV.
PAGE:
the feed composition, to simplify the stabilizer operation. The

condensate from the bottom of the stabilizer, after the heat exchanger,
and after the stabilizer bottom pump, will companied with the naphtha
products from the bottom of the De-Butanaizer ( Part of this Stream
could be used to heat up the feed condensate before the desalter, where
we face presence of wax in the feed condensate, where this wax in low
temperature could create problems in the desalter. the feed condensate
at the inlet of the deselter should be about 90 F ) and directed to the
existing storages after cooling by air cooler, and inject suitable
chemicals by the chemical injection kids mounted close to the outlet
product condensate (Naphtha)line.
The stabilizer overhead gas pressure, will be controlled by control
valve, and directed to the compressor suction drum to separate the
condensate, the condensate should be delivered back to the stabilizer
feed condensate, the gas will be pressurized (to pressure more than the
pressure at the companied feed raw gas at the inlet of Gas plant), by
compressor and cooled down by air cooler, before the discharge drum,
to separate the condensate, and any trace of water. Separated
condensate will be delivered to the stabilizer inlet feed.
The gas will be delivered to combine with the raw gas, at the inlet of
the gas plant.
W have attached the simple process flow diagram for the Gas Plant
including the Stabilizer, and the relation in between.
5.3-Turndown Requirements
The gas plant and stabilizer unit may not operate at this high feed rate
all the time. Therefore, whenever the feed rate is lower, the units shall
TP
REV.
PAGE:
be capable of processing the raw gas, at the same efficiency in the gas
plant, also condensate at stabilizer unit.
The gas plant and stabilizer unit shall be able to operate with a feed rate
down to 25% of the design rate defined earlier. The gas plant shall
operate in the range 150 MMSCFD down to 47.5 MMSCFD, and the
stabilizer shall be operated 30 MBPD down to 7.5 MBPD of feed rate
without loss of efficiency.
6- PFDs with Heat & Material Balances
Process Flow Diagrams with heat and material balances for the Gas
Plant also for stabilizer with the two cases.
a) Heavy Case
b) Light Case
Should be carried by the consultant engineering, the process should be
optimized to the optimum design criteria.
The main objective should be to maximize the C3 and LPG from the
raw gas in the gas plant, produce Sales Gas, C3, LPG and naphtha
within the specification, while minimizing the utility consumption. It
should be borne in mind, that the Gas Plant and the Stabilizer will
operate in parallel and continually, also we should be able to operate
one of them at the time. The PFD should be completed with heat and
material balance table for each of the mentioned referenced cases.
Consultant engineering company to provide, optimum process scheme
for an economic viewpoint and from simplicity and ease of operation.
We have attached simple PFD for your reference.

provides an insight into the way wants to control and operate the Gas
plant and the Stabilizer. Preliminary hydraulic calculations should be
carried out.

9- Special Considerations
9.1-Waxy Condensate
The condensate from Attahaddy field, contains between 7-10 wt% wax,
as determined by analytical method UOP 46, carried out on
atmospheric condensate sample, with the light ends flashed off.
The waxy Attahaddy condensate flows, in the main 16 condensate
pipeline from the field facilities to Brega. A paraffin dispersant
chemical, EC-6002A supplied by Nalco, is added at Attahaddy plant
facility, to inhibit the potential of wax building up in the 16 pipeline.
The chemical acts as a surfactant. It coats the wax particles, and
prevents them from agglomerating and minimizes their adherence to
the pipe wall.
Since Nalco chemical EC-6002A does not depress the pour point of the
waxy Attahaddy condensate, a suitable pour point depressant is
currently being sought to overcome any potential problem that may
TP
REV.
PAGE:
surface with the onset of winter. The cooler ambient temperatures are
likely to fall below the natural pour point of the waxy condensate, and
the naphtha product. Naphtha product is also a concern since wax that
accompanies the Attahaddy condensate ends up, after processing, in the
naphtha product to storage.
During the design of the facility the presence of wax should be
considered. For example, all instruments, sight glasses, dead legs, etc,
wherein wax is likely to be encountered/deposited must be protected
by, for example, electric tracing. Pressure gauges must be protected by
diaphragms to prevent wax from coming into contact with the gauge
internals.
Designer should consider skid mounted chemical injection system
comprising of suitably sized tank , pumps one in operation and stand
by, instrumentation, lines, etc to enable a wax dispersant chemical or a
pour point depressant chemical to be injected to maintain specific
concentration of the chemical in the naphtha product to storage.
9.2-Desalter System;
The possibility to utilize the existing desalter system with capacity of
55 MBPD should be considered, the desalter system data sheet,
specification and P&ID and layout drawing attached to this document.
10- Plant Performance Test & Process Guarantees
TP
REV.
PAGE:
The plant performance test should be carried out as below, this as per
SOC request. If Consultant Engineering Company advice with any
extra beneficiary requirement for SOC or any correction should
discussed with SOC.
The plant performance test, shall be carried out within six months,
from the date of transfer of custody and responsibility of the plant to
the COMPANY.
The performance test will be carried out by the COMPANY. The
performance test shall be of 72 hours continuous duration, or shorter at
the sole discretion of the COMPANY. The test shall evaluate/confirm
the performance of Compressors units, MDEA Gas Treatment unit
Propane chiller unit, the De-Ethanizer tower, De-Propanizer tower, DeButanizer tower, Operation, also the Stabilizer tower operating with
Heavy and Light feed compositions and a composition in-between, and
a feed rate between 150 MMSCFD and 37.5 MMSCFD for the Gas
Plant and 30MBPD and 7,5 MBPD, depending upon the availability of
the condensate for the stabilizer.
Detailed procedure for the performance tests shall be developed by
CONTRACTOR and will be reviewed and approved by the
COMPANY.
The performance tests shall be carried out in accordance with the
approved procedures in order to determine whether the plant performs
in accordance with the design. The performance tests shall not only
enable the evaluation and verification of the performance of the overall
plant but of each item of equipment within the plant.
TP
REV.
PAGE:
CONTRACTOR may be present to witness the performance test.

Samples will be taken by the COMPANYs operating personnel and
analyzed in the COMPANYs laboratory. CONTRACTOR may choose
to carryout his own analysis. In this case COMPANY will take another
set of samples for the CONTRACTOR.
CONTRACTOR shall provide all necessary tools to carryout the tests.
New bombs shall be supplied by the CONTRACTOR. The number of
bombs provided shall correspond to the number of samples to be taken
over a 24 hour period. Should CONTRACTOR desire a second set of
samples to be taken for carrying out his own analysis, then he shall
supply his share of the bombs along with his own chromatograph.
The results of the analysis obtained by COMPANY shall then be
compared with the analysis results obtained by the CONTRACTOR. In
case of a large difference, samples shall be analyzed once more. Should
the difference still remain, then another two sets of samples shall be
taken and the procedure repeated again. If, at the end, the difference
still remains and in the event no agreement could be reached, then a
third party laboratory technician shall be brought to the site to carryout
the analysis. The third party technician shall be acceptable to both the
COMPANY and the CONTRACTOR.
The results obtained during the performance test shall be scrutinized by
the CONTRACTOR, and a detailed report issued on the subject by the
CONTRACTOR. Upon acceptance of the report and on the basis that
TP
REV.
PAGE:
the performance test was indeed successful, COMPANY will issue the
provisional certificate.
It is recognized that exact duplication of the design conditions and
analyses serving the basis for guarantees may be improbable under
actual field conditions. Therefore, if actual conditions and analyses
vary from those used in the design calculations in sufficient degree to
influence the performance and efficiency of the plant, the gas feed and
condensate feed composition and rate obtained during the test run shall
be used as the basis for process calculations and the rerunning of the
computer simulation model, using the same program and method
utilized in the design of the plant, to determine the performance that
would have resulted and then comparing that to the actual test result. In
calculating performance in this manner, no operating conditions less
favorable than design shall be used if the conditions are less favorable
because of unsatisfactory operation or if insufficient
capacity/throughput is caused by the equipment installed by the
CONTRACTOR.
Should the performance test be deemed to be unsuccessful for reasons
attributable to the design of equipment items or units, the
CONTRACTOR shall take whatever remedial steps necessary to
correct or modify the defect to enable meeting of all the process
guarantees. In the event CONTRACTOR is unable or unsuccessful, the
CONTRACTOR shall be liable for these deficiencies as per the
Contract.
TP
REV.
PAGE:
Once remedial actions are carried out by the CONTRACTOR to fix the
deficiencies, the performance test shall be repeated in its entirety.
Alternatively, at the sole discretion of the COMPANY, performance
test may be repeated only for the affected area or areas of the plant.
COMPANY will issue the provisional acceptance certificate once the
COMPANY is satisfied that the plant performs as per design and no
process related deficiencies exist and that all process guarantees are
met as per the terms of the Contract, and accepted by the COMPANY.
The overall performance of the plant shall be measured based on the
following:
10.1- Plant Throughput
While continuously producing on-specification products, the

throughput value shall be the feed rate to the plant of 150 MMSCFD
Gas and 30 MBPD the Heavy or Light Condensate taking into account
metering accuracy.
10.2- Plant Production
10.2.1-Feed at Design Rate
Based on the design Raw Gas rate of 150 MMSCFD and
Condensate at 30 MBPD to the Gas Plant and stabilizer the
following shall be the production rates for the C3product, the
LPG product, the Naphtha and the Sales Gas.
a) The C3 production figure shall be X.taking into account
metering accuracy, based on the design Raw Gas and
Condensate flow. The temperature of the C3 product exiting
TP
REV.
PAGE:
the C3 Product Cooler shall not exceed 137 F and pressure

297 Psia
b) The LPG production figure shall be Y .taking into
account metering accuracy based on the design Raw Gas and
Condensate flow. The temperature of the LPG product
exiting the LPG Product Cooler shall not exceed 142 F and
pressure 98 Psia
c) The Naphtha production figure shall be Z.taking into
account metering accuracy, based on the design Raw Gas and
Condensate flow. The temperature of the Naphtha product
exiting the Naphtha Product Cooler shall not exceed 115 F
and pressure 100 Psia.
d) The Sales Gas Production figure shall be M.. taking into
account metering accuracy, based on the design Raw Gas and
Condensate flow. The temperature of the Sales gas exiting
the sales gas heat exchanger product should be about 80 F
and pressure about 586psia.
10.2.2- Raw Gas and Condensate Feed at Lower than Design Rate
In the event the Raw Gas feed rate is lower than the design
value of 150 MMSCFD and 30 MBPD to the gas plantand
stabilizer, the production figures shall be :
a. For C3, the actual feed rate, times X/ design feed
b. For LPG, the actual feed rate, times Y/ design feed
TP
REV.
PAGE:
c. For Naphtha, the actual feed rate, times Z/ design
