5. STEP 2 - PREPARING FOR WELL FLUID INTRODUCTION
1) Start one main Air Compressor Package and one Instrument Air Dryer Package to generate
dry compressed air, and stop the Start-Up Compressor.
2) Start Nitrogen Generation Package and line up the supply of nitrogen to the main users, e.g.
compressor seals, purge of flare system and ensure removal of Oxygen.
3) Light up the flare using propane cylinders.

and 4th stage with Nitrogen
7) Start hot oil circulation pump through the WHRU of selected GLC train and through the
controllability bypass. ( FV1052 – PID 16598)
TECHNIP ABU DHABI
6. STEP 3 - WELL FLUID INTRODUCTION
1) Line up one Production Separator train.
2) Start selected production wells (preferably sweet wells) at WHTs and gradually pressurize
the system up to inlet of Production Separator (bypass MOV 2101 – PID 12505).
3) Gradually introduce well fluid into one Production Separator.

Pressure and level will build up in the Separator and Produced Gas Scrubber.
There will be continuous flaring from the Production separator (PV2004 – PID 12507).
4) Once level is built-up, start one MOL pump in full recycle, line up the system to
route crude oil to Zirku and start sending crude oil to MOL.
5) Produced water system connected to MOL pump suction also to be lined-up.

6) Pressurize up to MOV 2051 –PID 16507 and flare through PV-1244 ½, and then close
PV2004 –PID 12507
7) Pressurize GLC 1st/2nd stage using gas through bypass of MOV2051.
8) Start Gas Lift Compressor and turbine driver:

a) Start GLC turbine on diesel firing
b) Start GLC Compressor at minimum speed and in full recycle on all stages (all anti-
surge valves open)
9) Start warming up of hot oil through the WHRU of selected GLC train and through the
controllability bypass. ( FV1052 – PID 16598)
10) Start glycol circulation across GDU Contactor bypass

When hot oil is warm enough (T=165 °C), start circulating hot oil through GDU
reboiler. Open ESDV 2021 – PID 16567.
TECHNIP ABU DHABI

11) Introduce gas to GDU – Open MOV2051 and line up wet gas to GDU keeping PV2900
open to Flare.
Increase GT speed manually and pressurize GLC following Compressor and GDU vendor
recommendations such as ramp-up rate ( At low speed maximum pressure reached during
this step is around 28 barg).
Keep PV2900 open until GDU dry gas specification is reach.
12) Introduced Dry gas to GLC 3rd and 4th stage using bypass of MOV-2054and displace
nitrogen through PV-2042-1/2 keeping ESDV-2012 PID 16506 closed.
13) Master Performance Controller of the Compressor can now be put in auto mode.
14) Pressurization of Gas Lift pipeline (including bridge line from ULGTP downstream 576-
ESDV-2012) to be carried out in advance by utilizing gas from outlet of GDU contactor.
Through the kicker line up to GDU pressure (62 Barg).

15) Pressurization of Gas Lift pipeline (including bridge line from ULGTP downstream
576-ESDV-2012) to be carried out in advance by utilizing gas from outlet of GDU
contactor. Through the kicker line up to GDU pressure (62 Barg) using bypass MOV-
2058.

3) Route part of the gas from 2nd Stage of GLC to GSU Inlet Scrubber FV1001/1&2 in manual
mode.
4) Start pressurizing GSU Absorber with gas from GLC. Depending on the wells lined-up (sweet or
sour wells), gas may be required to be flared until on spec. using 3” vent line or DBV after H2S
analyzer.
a) The manual valves at the GSU outlet to FGCU-UTP and FGCU-GTP needs to be closed.
5) Once the gas is on-spec, pass it through the fuel gas electric heater by pressurizing the gas
flowing to UTP and GTP FGCUs.
a) Pressurization will be by means of bypass across manual valve for the line going to UTP
FGCU. Start warming up of the gas by keeping the warm-up line open XV2283 at the inlet of
Gas Turbine.
b) Once the set temperature is reached, initiate change-over from diesel to fuel gas of the
turbine. 05-DEC-2016

4) Start pressurizing Gas Injection Compressor up to Gas Lift Compressor 4th stage discharge
pressure using bypass XV2175 PID 16544 and start GIC on full recycle.
5) Once WHTs are ready to receive injection gas, line up the discharge of GIC to the Gas Injection
Pipeline by slowly opening the Stonewall protection valve FV 2006/2 to pressurize up to MOV-
1184, and when pressure equalize open MOV-1184 and then ESDV-1024 .
6) Once the pressures on pipeline side and compressor discharge are almost equalized, switch
the compressor control to auto mode.

9. STEP 6 - START-UP OF REMAINING FACILITIES
Once main power generation is operating on fuel gas firing, the remaining facilities,
i.e. fresh water making, water injection systems can be started.
Sequence of startup for these systems will be provided in a dedicated startup procedure and
Operating Manuals, once more data are available from Vendors.
