In this time of energy crisis low production rate against the increasing demand of the gas production regularly hampers both the domestic and industrial operations since natural gas is the major power source of this country. Unless other power source is developed, natural gas is our only hope. Almost all the existing processing plants are now operating beyond their capacities. Nonetheless there has been a dwindling situation in the gas production. Besides political indecision regarding new establishment of gas plant and other power source have made the situation nothing but complicated. In such a case an idea of optimization of the gas processing plant will surely pave a way to a sustainable solution. This project has the intention to carry out the simulation of the Bakhrabad gas processing plant (at Sylhet) using the Aspen-HYSYS process simulator. The steady state simulation of the gas processing plant shall be performed based on both the design and physical property data of the plant.

In their gas processing plant on the Texas Gulf Coast the authors’ company recently converted from their original power source to two gas turbine units. This paper describes the equipment and reviews its installation, inlet and exhaust systems, maintenance, operation, and comparative cost. Based on this experience, the authors propose several changes for future installations.

The Hides gasfield was discovered by BP, and its Joint Venture Partner Oil Search Ltd, in Petroleum Prospecting Licence No.27 in Southern Highlands Province in late 1987 by the exploration well Hides-1. The well tested gas at rates of up to 15.9 mmscf/d with small volumes of associated condensate from four separate intervals within the Toro Sandstone.Negotiations with Placer Dome, a Vancouver-based mining company, led to an agreement to sell gas to supply electrical power for the Porgera gold mine in Enga Province 70 km North East from Hides. Approximately 10 mmscf/d of gas will be produced from two wells, one being the original Hides-1 discovery well, via an 8 km pipeline, to a gas processing plant in the nearby Tagari valley. The processed gas will be fed to turbines to generate approximately 42 M W of electrical power which will be fed to the Porgera mine by overhead transmission lines.BP has undertaken technical studies relating to the feasibility of producing the gas from Hides. In association with the technical work BP has also undertaken an environmental study of the impact of development and has embarked upon a survey of various local and land-related issues. It is anticipated that construction operations will start in early 1990, leading to first gas production in mid-1991, only 3½ years after the discovery. The Hides gasfield development will constitute the first commercial hydrocarbon production in PNG.

This general out line for Petroleos Mexicanos describes the natural gas production and processing in Mexico, and the influence that natural gas products and condensate have on petrochemicals production. Since about 80% of natural gas production comes from the off-shore oil-fields in the Gulf of Campeche and from the in-land oil fields of the Chiapas-Tabasco mesozoic region, the Petroleos Mexicanos four largest natural gas processing centres are located in the south-east part of Mexico: Cactus, Nuevo Pemex, Ciudad Pemex and la Venta petrochemical complexes. The first one is located in Chiapas and the others in Tabasco. The impact of natural gas processing over the basic and secondary petrochemical industries is shown through its growing and sustained development since Mexico increased its natural gas availability.

This study provides a workflow and preliminary estimations of the estimated ultimate recovery (EUR) volumes for natural gas and condensate liquids in the Tuwaiq Mountain Formation, the principal target in the Jafurah Field development project in Saudi Arabia. The strategic need for the field development is reviewed and the field characteristics are outlined based on public data sources complemented with data from analogous reservoirs. The target zone in the Jafurah Basin is a carbonaceous shale, being developed with up to 10,000-ft-long multistage-fractured laterals with 30 ft perforation cluster spacing and an assumed typical 1250 ft well spacing. The field will come on stream in 2024, when the gas-gathering pipeline system, natural gas processing plant, and underground gas storage facilities will all be in place. The range of uncertainties in the key reservoir parameters is taken into account to estimate preliminary EUR volumes (P90, P50, and P10) for both gas and condensates. Based on the present and prior EUR estimations, it can be concluded that the Jafurah Basin comprises one of the largest unconventional field development projects outside of North America.
