Beiseker, Alberta

Capital Cost - $2.8 MM

The Mandate. Build a Sweet Gas Compressor Station to process shallow natural gas and from field pressure to TCPL sales gas pressure and specification.

The Solution. GRB engineered and managed the construction of the Gathering System. The new Compressor Station was designed for a sales Gas capacity of 25 mmscfd. The plant was designed with a provision for future expansion of up to two additional compressors for a total of four compressors.

• Low pressure segment of the Station is designed to operate with suction pressures ranging from 14-70 kPa (2-10 psig)
• High pressure segment of the Station is designed to operate with suction pressures ranging from 70-517 kPa (10-75 psig).
• Discharge and Sales gas pressures range from 5515-6894 kPa (800-1000 psig).

Major equipment installed included:

• Two 1478 HP Reciprocating Compressor Packages
• One 36" Glycol Dehydration Package
• One 400 BBL. double walled Water Storage Tank
• One 50 bbl. U/G Vent KO Drum Package
• One 10" x 40' Vent/Flare Stack
