0 PURPOSE
The purpose of this document is to define the design requirement of Production Separator
at Qusahwira Central Degassing Station.
One production separator is envisaged for Phase II. Section 3.0 through 6.0 lists the design
requirements for a new Production Separator vessel.

3.0 DESIGN BASIS

The following table provides stream flow rates and property data of individual phase at the
inlet of the new Production Separator for sizing purposes. Eight different HYSYS cases
were developed to analyze the overall CDS design requirements in peak production years
and the first year, for summer and winter operation. Estimated reservoir production rates
with associated phase flow information are also provided on the next page for different
production years. In order to simplify the sizing calculations for the new three phase
production separator, only peak gas and liquid volumetric flow data from the eight
simulation cases and the production profile summary table are summarized below.
The new Production Separator is intended to operate in parallel with existing two
production separators. The existing design can be referenced as a go-by for the new vessel
dimensional details, operational requirements and material selection. The Phase-II CDS
development assumed presence of 5000 ppmv H2S in produced gas coming from the
Mender field. The eight simulation cases developed are targeting to represent the actual
flow regimes from different gathering stations and well pads at CDS inlet manifolds.
Assuming normal operating flows received from each formation has resulted into < 300
ppmv H2S and ~ 2.7 mol % CO2 present in the gas stream separated from production
separator. ADCO to provide further directions in regards to potential H2S excursions
caused by flow upsets from different formations.
