Changing Import Gas Mode of

Operation

Simulation,a.
From Mode B to Mode A via overlap
of both Modes Operation
Once The Fuel Gas Is Being Imported Via Mode B And The Plant Is Stable Operations Would Note Down The Total Amount Of Gas Being Imported Via The Gas Import
Heater (i.e. Total Fuel Gas Demand During Stable Operation- Not Expected To Increase That Day). Then Operations May Wish To Change To The Preferred Mode Of
Importing Gas, Via Mode A. This Would Be Established By Reducing The Amount Of Gas That Is Being Drawn In Through The Import Gas Heater Whilst Routing More
Through The Gas Lift Of All The Gas Lifted Wells. This Would Be Done By First Importing Gas Via The Gas Lift Manifold. It Would Be Necessary To Spread The Fuel
Gas Demand Across All The Gas Lift Chokes In Operation. Eventually The Extra Import Gas Being Routed Through The Gas Lift Cho ke Valves Would Make Its Way
Through To The Glycol Contactor And Be Exported (only To Be Re-Imported As The Plant Is Also Still Running Under Import Gas Mode B.

End

The shortfall in fuel gas demand anticipated can be fed forward into the fuel gas system via the import route by
placing PCV-52517 into MANUAL and opening up the PCV-52517 till it is passing this amount of flow. First the
Simulation, b.

gas being fed forward would need to be dumped to flare and warmed-up before via the dump line. This would
consume some time, In this scenario, there is a risk that fuel gas system may trip on low fuel gas pressure before
From Mode A To Mode B Via Overlap Of Mode B is established. In effect Mode B and Mode A gas import would be operating simultaneously. At this time
In effect Mode B and Mode
Both Modes both metering streams are required to be available and operating. This is required during a black start, fuel gas A gas import would be
operating simultaneously. At
system would be supplied with gas imported via the import gas heater this time both metering
streams are required to be
available and operating.
