Introduction
1.1
Background
RWE Dea Egypt has discovered seven natural gas reserves in the Disouq Concession within
the onshore Nile Delta, starting in 2008, as shown on the concession map below. Further
exploration in the concession is on-going. RWE Dea Egypt is the operator of the Concession
with EGAS as a partner.
The selected development comprises a central gas treatment plant near NSG-1x, where the
gas is collected, treated by means of Low Temperature Separation utilizing the Joule Thomson
effect to achieve sales gas quality, and compressed for export. Sales gas is transferred via a
16 pipeline directly into the GASCO NTS pipeline.
The well fluids are gathered and fed to a common inlet separator at the central plant. All gases
and liquids will be separated and processed on the central treatment plant into sales gas,
stabilized condensate, and free production water.
Treatment of gas is carried out in two trains, while treatment of condensate is in a single train.
Three trains of gas compression and three metering streams shall be installed. Fuel gas for
the gas engine driven main power generators will be taken from the suction of the gas
compressors upstream of the sales gas metering package.
