Heavy Oil Battery and Steam Facility Expansion
As part of a long-term relationship with this client, Vista completed engineering studies, pre-FEED, FEED and detailed engineering design for a grassroots oil treating battery initially processing 3,000 barrels of oil per day (BPD) or 412 m3/day. Vista was also engaged to perform subsequent expansion work to increase the production rate to 15,000 BDP or 2,060 m3/day. Features included:
- Production manifold and test tank;
- FWKO and direct fired treaters with desand systems;
- Inlet emulsion/sales oil exchanger, sales oil cooler, produced water cooler;
- Coalescing tank and sales oil storage tanks with future pipeline tie-in;
- Produced water skimming, filtration and water reinjection pumping facilities;
- Desand and recycle tankage and associated pumps;
- Utility systems: glycol heating system (process & utility) glycol cooling system for produced gas cooling, instrument air, fuel gas, and flare;
- Steam expansion – grassroots thermal steam generation facility with water treatment system, three 50 MM BTU/hr steamers, steam distribution system to 15 wells, and thermal production gathering system complete with manifold and test separator.
