AL Hamed Pipe line Gas Stress Analysis, Ras Ghareb, Egypt
Integrated Engineers team has been involved as sub-consultant and designer in Pump station rehabilitation project
CAPITAL GAS AND PARTNERS signed a contract with EGPC and GPC to build and operate a Gas
Processing station in Ras Ghareb area within the premises of GPC. According to which, the company
was granted a land and a daily supply of 15 MMSCFD of sour gas where both (Company and GPC)
could share benefits from processing the gas.
This sour gas after treatment is giving the following products: butane, propane, condensate, Sulphur
and residue gas. All the butane and some of the propane are combined at storage vessel, the remainder
of the residue gas goes directly to GPC in its same form for , condensate and Sulphur will be stored in
special hangar.
The sour gas will be supplied to the station through 4 fields (Gharib, Fanar, Shukeir 3 and El-Hamed).
All flowlines from the fields to the plant already exist, except El-Hamed which is yet to be installed.
The scope of this report is to evaluate the piping stresses and flexibility analysis of the piping system of the gas pipeline in Elhamed Gas field. The analysis is made to provide check for flexibility and stresses of the system and to define piping loads required for structural work and for further pipe supports design
and analysis.
The target of the analysis is to ensure that the system is safe under different loading scenarios and that the proposed solution (if required) would be feasible.
The network routing is based on the provided layout and coordinates.
Scope of the work is as follows:
• Check stresses in accordance with applicable code
• Sustained Stress Check
• Thermal Stress Range Check
• Define/verify thrust blocks location (if needed)
• Identify the need for above ground supports
• Check displacements of the system
