Low Pressure Production Phase
In 2014 (LPP phase 1), a 30 MW gas turbine was installed to drive the export compressor (pre-compressor 27KZ7001) on Kvitebjørn, this to reduce the inlet pressure from the original 120 to a minimum of 38 barg.

Project

Low Pressure Production Phase 2​

Scope

Class D Study & Modification​

Date

2019-2020​

The purpose of low-pressure production phase 2 (LPP2) is to increase gas and condensate recovery by further reducing the inlet pressure from 38 barg and down to 20 barg at the field's estimated end of life in 2033​.

Scope of Work

  • Pre-compressor rebundling and replacement of internals in anti surge valve​
  • Parameter changes in CCC anti surge controller ​
  • Rerouting line from outlet 4th stage recompressor​
  • New Fuel gas source – discharge 3rd stage recompressor​
  • New bypass line between 1st and 2nd stage recompressor​
