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  

Project Brief

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.

Scope of Work

The following shall be covered: – Compressor Head verification

Transient analysis for the following cases:

  • Pressure & temperature diagram reporting 
    Upsurge and downsurge pressures                         identification 
    Surge suppression equipment sizing 

The steady state and surge analysis scope summarises the results of the following analyses: 

  • Confirmation that proposed 8” CS pipeline                 size, consistent with existing project use, is               sufficient to satisfy flow demand and ensure             MAOP of 1566 psig are not exceeded; 
  • Identify P/T profile for both summer and                      winter  case; 
  • Produce phase envelope, evaluate hydrate                 risk and  propose hydrate mitigation                             measures if any; 
  • Identify velocity profile along production                      system  with respect to erosional and                          minimum/maximum velocity constraint; 
  • Confirmation that the pipeline shall not be                  subjected to any pressure exceeding MASP               during  any transient case i.e. line packing                   while  compressor is still running.
