a stand-alone high-pressure and low- pressure flare tripod
bridges to link the new platform and flare stack to the PS-3 complex
the installation of new subsea pipelines.
The project calls for 300 million-400 million cubic feet a day (cf/d) of wet gas to be extracted from the gas cap, from which 36,000 barrels a day (b/d) of associated condensate will be recovered. The condensate will then be spiked into the existing main oil line running to the offshore loading terminal at Halul. There, it will be mixed with other offshore crudes and then sold as Qatar marine blend. The residual gas will be reinjected into the oil reservoir to maintain pressure.
The front-end engineering and design (FEED) contractor was Australia's Worley.
