Processing Systems

The topside processing system consists of three major plants: the crude oil processing plant; the water injection plant; and the gas lift compression plant (future option). The crude oil processing plant separates well effluent in dry crude, gas and water. The dry crude is stored in tanks.

The available gas is used in the power plant as fuel gas, lift gas, pilot and purge gas, and the bal- ance is flared in a flare stack. The produced water is cleaned prior to discharge overboard.

Water injection facilities consist of filtration de-aeration, chemical injection and HP water injection pumps.

As an option, gas lift facilities can be installed aboard Glas Dowr.

The gas lift facilities will consist of
