Gas compression requirements often evolve as reservoir pressure declines, production rates change, and field operating conditions shift.
A compression system should therefore be evaluated against the anticipated operating envelope rather than a single design point alone.
Our Compression Engineering Approach
Define the Operating Envelope
Establish inlet and discharge pressure requirements, gas properties, flow rates, expected pressure decline, and operating scenarios.
Evaluate Equipment Configurations
Assess suitable compression technologies and configurations, including reciprocating and screw compressors where appropriate to the required duty.
Plan for Changing Conditions
Evaluate staging, turndown, suction conditions, equipment operating limits, and future compression requirements.
Integrate with Processing Facilities
Coordinate compression with separation, dehydration, gas sweetening, dew-point control, LNG pretreatment, power supply, and control systems as applicable.
Support Project Execution
Translate the selected configuration into equipment specifications, procurement requirements, engineering interfaces, and project delivery inputs within the agreed scope.
Compression as Part of an Integrated Development Strategy
When compression is evaluated alongside reservoir forecasts, the design process can consider both initial production conditions and the pressure and flow conditions expected later in field life.
This provides a stronger basis for assessing equipment selection, potential expansion requirements, and long-term operating flexibility.
