Saudi Aramco is planning to undertake the construction of Uthmaniya gas compression plant under Shedgum and Uthmaniya gas compression program in Saudi Arabia. (Tender No.: Bl-10-01989)

The Uthmaniya gas plant project aims to increase the NAG production from the Uthmaniya reservoir by reducing the WH pressures to 300 pounds per square inch gauge (PSIG) and install a new gas compression plant (GCP) to reach UGP's NAG facilities arrival and operating pressures.

Additional gas gathering network pipelines and liquid separation stations (LSS) will feed the GCP. A new low-pressure (LP), free flow system at UGP will be installed to receive the production from the remaining free-flowing wells.

One new GCP will separate the gas and liquids at 150 PSIG and boost the gas pressure to arrive at SGP at 1,000 PSIG. Separate liquids are pumped separately to UGP. UGP will receive up to 735 and 306 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD) of raw NAG from UTGCP-1 and UTGCP-2 and 315 MMSCFD of raw NAG from the LP free flow gas gathering system.

The Shedgum gas plant project aims to increase the NAG production from the Shedgum reservoir by reducing the WH pressures to 300 pounds per square inch gauge (PSIG) and install a new gas compression plant (GCP) to reach SGP's NAG facilities arrival and operating pressures.

Additional gas gathering network pipelines will feed the GCP. Wellhead compression (WHC) near the Fazran (FZRN) 23 and 28 wells and a new low-pressure (LP), free flow system at SGP will be installed to receive the production from the remaining free-flowing wells.

One new GCP (SHGCP-1) will separate the gas and liquids at 150 PSIG and boost the gas pressure to arrive at SGP at 1,000 PSIG. Separate liquids are pumped separately to SGP. SGP will receive up to 533 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD) of raw NAG from SHGCP-1 and 337 MMSCFD of raw NAG from the LP free flow gas gathering system.
