1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose This document establishes the design criteria, outlines the system design, equipment and component design features, as well as the performance characteristics consistent with those criteria. The document also creates the framework for the instruction documents and construction specifications. The contents of this document represent the objectives of the owner, project engineers, and consultants in terms of design features, systems functionality, and performance. 1.2 The Umusadege Field Umusadege is a marginal field operated by Midwestern Oil and Gas Plc. The field is near Kwale in Delta State of Nigeria, and is situated in OML 56. The fields current potential is 20 Mbopd, but is currently producing about 9 Mbopd, through an early production facility within the field, with the stabilised wet crude routed to AGIP via existing GGF and LACT systems. Further development activities are However, the planned, which will maintain the fields production at this level. forecast reference in this BFD 1.3 The Fields Facilities Development Objectives The objective is to replace the existing 10 MBD early production facility with a 20 MBD nominal capacity Central Processing Facility of two trains. operational deficiencies to bring the fields operations to standard. 1.4 Overview of The Fields Existing Processing Facilities The existing 10 MBD processing facility is a single train one-stage separation EPF, consisting of a 3-phase test separator, and 3-phase group separator, and related ancillaries. The produced crude is stored in rented tanks, from where it is pumped to a delivery pipeline for export through AGIP. The produced water is passed

2.0 KEY CONSIDERATIONS

The key considerations are presented and summarized below. 2.1 Mode The CPF should be designed as a normally not manned facility. It should be able to operate safely under this mode, as well as being able to be shut down safely remotely from a PLC based control room. Its start-up has to be locally from the field, or remotely only with local permissive from the field. 2.2 Brown Field Engineering / Strategy Fit The design will consider the existing facilities in operation, and equipment already ordered, and the extent to which they may be incorporated in the design, without prejudice to HSE, operating standards, and undue production deferment. 2.3 Field Life The projected field life is 20 years, for which facilities life of 25 years shall be considered appropriate. 2.4 Efficiency & Optimum Oil Recovery from the Process Systems Number of separation stages will be optimized in the light of surface oil recovery and pressure regimes of the wellhead crude. In this respect more than one-stage separation will be considered for the higher pressure streams, as that will improve their oil recovery. 2.5 Dry Crude Export The design will include infield dehydration, as export will be through a 3rd party facility that is willing to accept only dry crude, BSW 0.5%, and TVP 10 psia at 82o F.

5.0 THE CENTRAL PROCESSING FACILITY

The base case concept for the Central Processing Facility is a 2 x 20 MBD capacity processing facility as shown in the PFD below, and will be developed with a provision for possible future tie-ins of additional separator(s). The 2-train system is driven by the objective to minimize production deferment through SIMOPS on the facilities installation, as well as optimal utilization of equipment already procured. Other related options are considered and analysed in the concept selection study report (with Document No. CMA/UMUCPF/MDR-GEN/DOC/004). The CPF systems include the following facilities: 5.1 Oil processing and export facilities. Well test facilities. Utility and support systems operation. Produced water treatment facilities. Facilities / Process Description The oil processing involves two trains and 3-phase separation. The trains
configuration and installation have been planned to minimize production deferment at transition. In this respect, the first train, Train-1, will be designed and installed to start on one-stage LP separation, with provision to use mobile test unit for well testing (to be evaluated), while the second train, Train-2, will be designed and installed with the full complement of multi-stage separation, including a test separator. The multi-stage separation will start with two stages, with provision for future XHP / XXHP installation as will be dictated by the pressure regimes based on input information provided on well 9. The design for the XHP / XXHP integration is outside the current scope of work, and will be implemented if and when the time comes Crude processing will be segregated between the two trains as follows: higher pressure wells to be processed via the 2-stage separation (HP + LP),
EpicAtlanticLimited
Page26
while the lower pressure wells will be processes through the one-stage separation (LP). Piping will be configured for flexibility to flow any well through the HP train or LP train, as well as connectivity between the two trains. The test separator, though will be installed in Train-2, will serve both trains. In addition valving will be designed for flexibility to use the test separator as bulk HP separator for Train-1.

Figure 2: Train 1 & 2 Flow Scheme
Both trains will enable produced oil to be routed through three cascade tanks each of size 1,000 barrels before export through the LACT, or transfer to storage tanks with cumulative capacity of 100,000 barrels for temporary if and when the need arises. A heater currently available has been converted to function as an LP separator. All separation stages are placed as three phase separators, enabling water to be removed from each stage as well as the gas boots, for processing in a TPI facility. The TPI produced water is anticipated to meet DPR specifications of 10 ppm oil in
EpicAtlanticLimited
Page28
water before disposal in a water injection well, whose design is intended to be covered in a separate contract. In addition, given the fact that the produced water is planned to be disposed by injecting it into well(s), the need for treating to the high quality of 10 ppm needs to be discussed and confirmed with the DPR, to avoid the cost of achieving specifications that are unnecessary. The produced gas will be used as fuel gas for the CPF gas engine generator, with the excess available for external utilization. For the excess gas handling, five potential options have been compiled for evaluation, i.e.: 1. LPG recovery + power generated with surplus methane stream, 2. Power generated with whole stream of gas for export to National Grid, 3. CNG bottles manufactured by third parties, 4. Produced gas sold at CPF fence, 5. Gas injected into Umusadege reservoirs. This last option is only included only for completeness of the records and not considered to be a serious option, as DPR will not approve gas disposal by re-injection. Any or all of the options will be examined for potential uptake by third party offtakes or MWOG/partners, to enable a specific recommendation. This review will be carried out as part of the detailed engineering scope and will be reported separately. 5.2 Design & Operating Philosophy The CPF will be normally not manned

It should be able to operate safely under this mode, as well as being able to be shut down safely remotely from a local PLC based control room. The PLC will be equipped with HMI, and SCADA capability. Its start-up has to be locally from the field, or remotely from the control room only with local permissives from the field. The operating modes outlined in this philosophy shall be developed during detailed engineering. 5.2.1 The Inlet and Intermediate / ESD Valves Manifold The inlet manifold will operate in bulk and test mode and both modes can be operated concurrently. The bulk mode will be the normal production mode in which wells with the same pressure regime are switched to the same header where they are commingled. From the header, they flow into a targeted (HP or LP) or in some cases test separator (when the test is being operated in bulk mode). The test mode will be the mode in which a well is put under test to determine its production capacity and basic composition such as GOR and BS & W. In this mode, the well under test will be switched to the test headers from where it flows into the test separator. The inlet headers are process lines between the ligaments and the inlet separators. Each well and also each inlet header will have individual shutdown valves, which is used primarily to isolate the ligaments (wells and flow lines) from the inlet separators during an operational or emergency shutdown. On each bypass line is a 2 inch manual globe valve. The bypass line is used primarily during start-up to gradually pressurize the flow station and the instrument fuel gas header by the use of the 2 inch globe valve. The flow station is first pressurized before each header ESD valve can be opened for the following reasons: Enable the lighting of the flare. Prevent a pressure shock (hammer effect) on the facility. Prevent possible damage of the header ESD valves seat because of high differential pressure across them.

Allow a reset of the pneumatic safeguarding panel.
Each header ESD valve will consist of a ball valve with a spring return actuator. A pneumatic pilot operated three-way valve operates the actuator. The pilot signal on the three-way valve will be controlled by a pneumatic relay based safeguarding system. Pressure gauges are installed on each header to measure the inlet pressure. 5.2.2 The Test Separator The test separator operates as 3-phase. It will have two operating modes (test and bulk). When in test mode, any of the wells under test is routed to the test separator. In the bulk mode, it will be used for normal production and operates like any of the other two separators (LP & HP). In this mode, all producing wells within the same pressure regimes are switched manually through their individual ligament valves into the test header. From the test header they flow into the test separator. 5.2.3 The HP Separator The HP Separator will operate between 220 to 240 psig. All producing wells within the same pressure regimes are switched manually through their individual ligament valves into the HP header. From the HP header they flow into the HP separator. In the separator, liquid and gas are separated. The flashed gas exits though the gas outlet, while the oil and water stream is routed to the LP separator. 5.2.4 The LP Separator The LP separator will operate between 30 to 40 psig. All producing wells within the same pressure regimes are switched manually through their individual ligament valves into the LP header. From the LP header they flow into the LP separator. vessel. The oil, water and gas are separated. The flashed gas exits though the gas outlet, while the oil is routed to the gas boot / surge
EpicAtlanticLimited
Page31
The water is routed to the water treatment facility. 5.2.5 The Gas Boot The gas boot is a three phase degassing / stabilizing unit, also enabling additional refinement of de-oiled water to be routed to the water treatment facility for further processing. Final separation of gas and liquid occurs in both cases, the flash gas exits through an outlet line and flows into the flare knock-out vessel. The liquid (oil) exits through the outlet line where it flows by gravity into the cascade tanks, from where it is pumped to the LACT. Details of pump control will be developed with vendor data during detailed engineering. Pump discharge pressure floats on the pipeline operation pressure, which is a function of the liquid export flow rate and the other users of the pipeline system. 5.3 The Crude Export Pumps Centrifugal pumps, with variable speed drive mechanism have been procured to be used. These pumps are already on the site and will be evaluated to assure they fit the required duty. 5.4 The Closed Drain System All vessel drains are routed to the closed drain sump tank. Recovered oil is
pumped back to the crude oil export system while removed water is routed for treatment. Open and closed drainage systems shall be included. Open drains will channel rain water and non-hazardous fluids to the open drain pit via the open drain header. Closed drains handling oil contaminated and hazardous liquids are routed to the closed drain tank via the closed drain header. 5.5 Gas Handling Associated gas will be routed to an AG solution facility to enable value addition for sales. Options that may be considered for the AG solution facility include processing for direct sales, or for LPG extraction and power generation, for own use or for sale.

Supply pressure will be based on selected gas engine generator. A purge gas system shall be provided for purging and supply to flare pilots and ignition system. Critical control valves shall be spared to ensure availability of supply. 5.6 Flare System In line with DPR regulations, routine process flaring will not be permitted. However a full facility flare will be included for use under emergency conditions. The existing flare will be evaluated to determine capacity for the forecast production. A flare header / flare system will be provided to collect and safely dispose of produced hydrocarbon gases. As a minimum, the system will consist of flare headers, a flare knockout drum, and a continuously ignited pilot flare. In addition, the system will be designed to safely and continuously flare the produced gas capacity of the CPF and to depressurize all of the production flow lines in the shortest possible practicable time. routed to the flare system. Discharges from pressure relief valves and other hydrocarbon streams as required by the CPF Facility Specifications will be The flare system will be equipped with meters to measure flare volumes to within an accuracy of 2%. 5.7 Water Treatment Produced water will be routed to a TPI (Tilted Plate Interceptor) Facility ahead of disposal. The ultimate disposal route will be via re-injection into an aquifer. The TPI produced water shall be made to meet DPR specifications of 10 ppm oil in water before disposal by injection into an aquifer. Before the installation of the water injection plant, water will be disposed off in the existing pond. The design of the injection facility is outside the scope of this Basis for Design, and will be covered in a separate contract. 5.8 Storage Tanks The tables below summarise the tanks that will be installed:

The crude oil tanks will be fitted with a stripping system to permit removal of water that has settled out of the crude oil. The storage system will be capable of receiving stabilized crude from the production facilities. The offloading system will be capable of discharging at a rate and pressure such that it can flow into the GGF. Fiscal metering of the exported crude will be based upon the use of the existing LACT system at GGF since the existing facility is in-place and is reliable. The tank shall be fitted with local flow meters (or gauge). The facility and associated systems will be designed to remain on site for entire design life and with minimal maintenance and repair (e.g., no major steel, coating, and piping or equipment renewals) which might result in interruption of production operations. This will be achieved mainly from material selection. There will an automated and manual level control system on each tank. Motorised valves will be interlocked to allow one tank filling at a time. Two 14,500 barrel crude oil tanks shall be used for storage and settlement. Additional two 35,000 barrels capacity are anticipated for future expansion. The storage tank inlet motorized valves are controlled by the Level Switch High on the storage tank to prevent overfilling of the crude oil. The motorized valves are also at interlock with each other with the philosophy that only one tank can be

8.0 INSTRUMENTATION
Overall control of the liquid production system is through the Process Automation System (PAS). This extends over the pump stations, tank farm and the CPF. The facility will be normally not manned. Normal monitoring of plant performance, verification of set-points and starting/stopping of equipment, etc, will take place from the Control Centre located at base. The Flowstation oil production system will be maintained in stable operation by a number of factors, including manually set flowlines choke valves that will maintain the overall station production 8.1 Test Separator Instrumentation The test separator instrumentation will be designed to provide a means to initiate and carry out well testing locally, and in line with API 14C will have the following features: Back Pressure Control High Pressure Safeguarding Level Control Low & High Level Safeguarding Level & Pressure Measurement Gas Outlet Measurement Liquid Outlet Measurements Temperature Measurement
8.1.1 Back Pressure Control The test separator will be designed to operate at either LP or HP separator pressure, and in test or bulk mode. Hence, it will not have a dedicated back pressure control system, but will share with that of the LP separator (when in LP mode) or the HP separator (when in HP mode). This sharing shall be implemented by connecting the test separator gas outlet line to both the LP or HP header where their back pressure control systems are installed. The back pressure control will comprise a pneumatic pressure controller and pressure control valve.
EpicAtlanticLimited
The pressure controller measures the process
Page39
pressure and produces a standard pneumatic output signal, which drives a back pressure control valve. 8.1.2 Level Control The level control will comprise the following: a. b. c. d. Displacer type controller / transmitter Level control valve Test / Bulk mode selector switch Level Measurement Displacer Type Controller / Transmitter The displacer type pneumatic transmitter receives change in fluid level through change in buoyant force exerted by the fluid on the sensor displacer, and consequently produces a standard pneumatic output signal that drives the control valve. Test / Bulk Mode Selector Switch The liquid outlets will be divided into two, - a 2 and a 4 line, with a level control valve installed in each line, with both lines recombined into a 4 line downstream of the control valves. The required liquid outlet line (2 for test mode, and 4 for bulk mode) is selected by manually opening of the ball valves upstream and downstream of the level control valve, while the control valve selection is by use of a manual pneumatic switch. The pneumatic selector switch connects the standard output signal of the level transmitter / controller to the selected valve. The liquid outlet will be divided into oil & water to achieve metering separately. 8.1.3 Level Measurement The only level indication will be that directly on the vessel by the use of sight glass. There will be no direct level measurement and display on the test separator except level measurement by the displacer type transmitter / controller used
EpicAtlanticLimited
Page40
in the level control loop. The level control loop will be primarily field located with no form of indication. 8.1.4 Low and High Level Safeguarding The test separator will be equipped with a duplex type transmitter and controller that will provide dual function of level control and high / low level safeguarding. The safeguarding instrumentation will consist of high and low level displacer type pneumatic switches, connected to a pneumatic relay panel used for plant safeguarding. The safeguarding logic is implemented in the relay panel such that for a high level in bulk mode, all the inlet valves and the liquid outlet valve are closed. In the test mode, the inlet valve applicable will be that of the well on test. In the event of low level, the liquid outlet valve will be forced down. Other safeguarding functions will be conducted in accordance with the flowstations cause and effects diagrams 8.1.5 High Pressure Safeguarding The test separator high pressure safeguarding will comprise a high pressure pneumatic switch that will initiate the shutdown. When the pressure switch senses a high pressure, it sends a signal to the pneumatic safeguarding relay panel, where the shutdown logic is implemented in accordance with the cause & effects diagram. The objective is to close the inlet shutdown valve to the separator so as to prevent further entry of hydrocarbon. 8.1.6 Pressure Measurement All pressure measurement will be by pressure gauges only. 8.1.7 Gas Outlet Flow Measurement A senior Daniel orifice or ultrasonic meter will be installed to measure all outlet gas rates.
EpicAtlanticLimited
Page41
8.1.8 Liquid Outlet Flow Measurement Oil & water will be metered separately. 8.1.9 Temperature Measurement All temperature measurements will be by temperature gauges only. 8.2 HP Separator Instrumentation The instrumentation and safeguarding functions on the HP separator will be similar to the test separator, except that there will be no liquid measurement, only gas. Similar to the test separator, it will have a duplex type level instrument, which will provide both level control and high high level safeguarding function. 8.3 LP Separator Instrumentation Also, the instrumentation and safeguarding functions on the HP separator will be similar to the test separator, except that there will be no liquid measurement, only gas. Similar to the test separator, it will have a duplex type level instrument, which will provide both level control and high high level safeguarding function. 8.4 Crude Oil Export Pump Instrumentation The crude oil pump will have a pneumatic governor, which will be used to vary the speed of the pump gas engine driver as part of the level control system of the surge vessel. When the level in the surge vessel goes high, the speeds of the pumps are set to maximum by the surge vessel controller. At low level, the pumps are set to minimum speed. In the event that the level drops further, the recirculation valve begins to open so as to recycle the liquid to the surge vessel. Pressure gauges will be installed on the pump suction and discharge lines. The oil will be measured using turbine meters for accuracy that will be in line with DPR requirement.

8.5
Flare Knockout Vessel Instrumentation The knockout vessel will have four level switches. Three of the switches will be electric, while the fourth will be pneumatic two of the electric switches will be used for level control, while the third will be used to shutdown the pump on low low level detection. The pneumatic switch will be connected to the pneumatic relay panel for shutdown on high high level in the flare knockout vessel. The level control system for the pump will consist of a stand-alone electric relay logic control panel.

13.0 ASSET MANAGEMENT

13.1 Operating Philosophies Operating philosophy envisages that the facility is not normally management system. Other features include the following: a. Field production will continue un-hindered during the installation of the expanded facility. Aspects include placement and tie-in of processing vessels and piping works in tandem with systems in operation. b. Considering that the Umusadege is a marginal field, sparing of equipment items will be minimized. Also for this reason, high integrity systems will be included for process safety control. Moderate level of automation for process control is desired, with process control equipment placed in a purpose-built office. c. The facility will operate 365 days a year with shut-down only in the event of an emergency procedure or for statutory inspections on relief systems and vessel internals. 13.2 Asset Reference Plan The ARP that will be created by others at the end of detailed design will aim to utilize the Operations Readiness and Assurance report to: Define the boundaries of the asset. Optimize asset planning and operations with respect to previously completed sub-surface specifications Integrate business process strategies, studies, facilities design and equipment selection and manned.
