1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
Bangladesh Gas Fields Company Limited (BGFCL) is the largest state-owned gas
production company in Bangladesh. At present around 826 MMSCFD Gas is being
produced from 5 BGFCL producing fields. Aiming to mitigate the ongoing gas crises,
various production development projects have been identified under a Survey on the
Natural Gas Efficiency Projects carried out by M/s Oriental Consultants Company Ltd.
Japan in the year 2013. Amongst the development projects, the study recommended
installation of gas compressors at Narsingdi Gas Field to arrest the declining field
production and to meet the sales gas delivery pressure requirement at 1000 Psig.
At Narsingdi, gas production around 28 MMSCFD from two (2) wells is being
processed through a TEG dehydration unit.
Treated dehydrated gas after metering is injected in to the TGTCL sales gas
transmission line. Around 50 BPD of condensate recovered from the facility is sent to
condensate storage tank. Produced water around 30 BPD is being disposed through
the oily/ water separator to soak pit.
The proposed compressor will be installed at upstream of the Narsingdi gas processing
plant. Gas after the compression at 1200 psig will be collected in a single header for
feeding to processing plant.

3 PROCESS DESCRIPTION
3.1 General
Existing Narsingdi gas processing facility comprises inlet production separator,
dehydration unit, and gas metering station, condensate flash vessel, condensate
storage tanks, fuel gas system, flare and oily water separation units. At present two
wells are connected with the processing facility through a single gas gathering
manifold. Gas production from Well # 1 & 2 is treated in the Glycol Dehydration
unit.Treated dehydrated gas metered before being injected in to the TGTCL sales gas
transmission line. Condensate 50 barrels per day is recovered from the facility and
transferred to existing flash separator and storage tanks. Produced water 50 barrels
per day is recovered and disposed through existing oily water separator to soak pit.
BASIS OF DESIGN
A 30 MMSCFD compression facility shall be installed with all necessary auxiliary

equipment and materials such as inlet scrubbers, outlet scrubbers, gas coolers and
auxiliaries, in order to boost the declining well head pressure.
One production separator shall be installed upstream of the proposed compressors for
the purpose of separation of condensate and water from gas.

Narsingdi gas field compressor station is attached as Annexure – 3.
3.2 Corrosion Inhibitor Injection
The wellhead gas composition analysis identifies no corrosion threats as H2S is Nil,
carbon dioxide is less than 0.5 mol% and chloride contents in produced water is less
than 8000 ppm. Therefore no corrosion inhibitor injection is considered at wellhead or
at gas inlet manifold.
3.3 Wax Inhibitor and Methanol Injection
The composition of gas and condensate has been checked using Aspen HYSYS v 9.0.
It was calculated that fluid composition indicates hydrate formation at temperature of
52 0F. This temperature is below the operating temperature of 139 oF. It is evaluated
that methanol injection is not required.
3.4 Heating/Cooling at Inlet manifold
The temperature of wellhead fluid is approximately 139°F. The operating temperature
at dehydration unit is approximately 92°F. The gas cooler is proposed at compressor
discharge to cool down the gas to 110°F. Hence no cooling or heating requirement is
proposed at inlet manifolds.
3.5 Production Separator
The production separator shall be designed for 30 MMSCFD of raw gas associated
with 50 BPD of condensate and 50 BPD water. Additional 100 barrels per day of slug
is also considered for the sizing of production separator. It will be sized for a pressure
condition of 300-800 psig.
The vessel fabrication design pressure shall be 1380 psig. The vessel sizing will be
carried out as per API STD 12J and construction shall be as per ASME Boiler and
pressure vessel code section VIII Div1.
The production separator shall be installed upstream of the compressors to separate
out the gas, condensate and water. Gas will be transferred to the compressors.
Condensate will be connected to header of existing flash separator and water will be
transferred to existing oily/waste water separator.

3.8.1 Load Sharing Control
Load sharing shall be provided as part of New Control Room, however, functionality
shall generally be as follows:-
The process input variables used by the (LCP) PLC to define unit speed are flow rate,
discharge pressure and discharge temperature. Flow set point shall be maintained,
while discharge pressure and temperature shall not exceed defined limits and the
suction pressure shall not fall below defined set point.
Load sharing control shall modify the speed set-point by ensuring equidistance of all
active compressors from their respective lines. Load Sharing Control shall also

in parallel mode only to ensure energy efficient operation by switching units on/off to
match system demand. In case of low flow, units shall be switched off until a single
unit is running on speed control. Once this unit reaches to its lowest allowable flow
setting, the unit recycle valve shall open.
The compressor units to be selected and started (in parallel mode) shall depending on
the flow (capacity demand) and the operator set points.
Manual: Starting an additional unit manually.
BASIS OF DESIGN

to reduce the equipment pressure from initial conditions to a level equivalent to 50%
of vessel design pressure within approximately 15 minutes. Depressuring to a gauge
pressure of 690 kPa (100 psi) shall be commonly considered.” This criterion shall be
followed to ensure safe design for pressure vessels which require immediate
depressurization in case of fire. Other depressurization sections excluding compressor
and associated KODs shall be depressurized to achieve the peak flow rate to limit
radiation level within sterile area and stack height without time limitation.

their dedicated depressuring zones shall be identified. Compressor station blowdown
system with their dedicated depressuring zones shall also be considered.
Gas compressor station consists of several sections, which have to be isolated and
depressurized individually. The isolated sections of gas systems shall be
depressurized through the dedicated blowdown lines to flare stack. The necessary size
of the flare system and the required safety distance from the flare stack shall be
determined, considering the flammable gas cloud from the flare and accidental ignition
of the gas from the flare by sparks or lightning strike.
The flare stack shall be designed considering potential ignition by a spark or lightning
strike. The total permissible radiation intensity for the design of the sterile area radius
around the flare stack is 6.31 kW/m² at the outer boundary of the sterile area according
to API STD 521. This value allows “emergency actions lasting up to 30 seconds may
be required by personal without shielding but with appropriate clothing”. The solar
BASIS OF DESIGN
radiation intensity is 0.948 kW/m² and has been taken into account in the allowable
radiation level. A wind velocity of 9 m/s is an assumption for radiations calculations as
