 Group Gathering Station (GGS)
• Group gathering station is a production installation in ONGC, used for gathering of liquid supply coming
from many near by oil and gas wells connected through pipe lines. Oil ,associated gas and water usually
produce from subsurface reservoirs. Group gathering station has well manifold with metering devices for
measuring quantity of fluid and monitoring condition of well . GGS also houses separator to separate oil,
gas & water and storage tank for oil, water and gas, some times gas and water injection facilities , gas
compressor and pumping facilities , supply chain facilities is also house in the premises.
• Gas is then sent to GCS while the mixture of oil & water is sent to heater-treater for further treatment.
• Crude oil water content is reduced 50% sent to CTF via dispatch pumps at 4-5 kg/cm² through 8’’
pipelines.
The main component of the various GGS in ONGC are
• Test separator
• Vertical Separator
• Horizontal Separator
• Pipe Manifold
• Pumps
• Storage Tanks , etc
Heater Treater

 Heater size 8’x20’  Fire tube size 24”

 Transformer rated capacity 5kva  max working pressure 50 psi

 The volumetric capacity of heater- treater is 800 tpd and free

water capacity is 125-400 m3 per day.
 Central Tank Farm (CTF)
o Alternate name for an oil terminal or oil depot, a facility for storage of liquid
petroleum.
o Receives oil from all GGS treated as well as untreated.

o Sanand GGS
o Paliyad GGS
o Jahlora GGS
o Libodara GGS
o Gamis GGS

o Consist manifolds to receive oil from GGS in controlled manner.

o 2000m3 ,1000m3 ,and 20000m3 oil storage tank for oil.
o Storage tank are also available for water for injection.
 Desalter Plant - Nawagam
o The Nawagam desalter plant receives crude oil with an average BS&W 10-15%.
The output of the plant is up to 0.2%.
o Unitop De-emulsifier is used.
o There are five basic components which forms the desalter plant. These are:
o 4 Feed pump, 3 train, 4 blower , 4 booster pump
o Shell & Tube Heat exchanger
o Economizer
o Main heater
o Desalter vessel
o The desalter plant at Nawagam has 6 floating roof storage tanks with capacity
of 30,000 m3 each.
o Processed crude is stored in another tank and after draining of free water is
pumped to Nawagam CTF by set of Booster pumps for onward dispatch to
IOCL Vadodara refinery.
 Gas Compression Plant (GCP)

o The main function of GCP is to compress the gas it receives from GCS at 3 kg/cm² to
40 kg/cm² and send it back to GCS (Gas Collection Station).

o Compression of gas is necessary for its transportation and the pressurised gas may
also be used for gas lifting operations.

o Compression of gas up to 40 kg/cm² is done in two stages : -

o First stage (1-12kg/cm² )

o Second stage (12-40 kg/ cm²)

o 3 compressor are used with cooling system.

o It has a capacity of 150,000 m³/day.

 SCADA (Supervisory control and data acquisition)
 Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) is a control system architecture that
uses computers, networked data communications and graphical user interfaces for high-
level process supervisory management, but uses other peripheral devices such
as programmable logic controllers and discrete PID controllers to interface to the process
plant or machinery. The operator interfaces which enable monitoring and the issuing of
process commands, such as controller set point changes, are handled through the
SCADA supervisory computer system. However, the real-time control logic or controller
calculations are performed by networked modules which connect to the field sensors
and actuators.
Training Project
Artificial Lift Used in Oil and Gas Industry
 The production of crude oil in oil reservoirs can include up to three distinct
phases:
 Primary
 Secondary and
 Tertiary recovery.

 Artificial lift is a method used to lower the producing bottom hole pressure
(BHP) near the payzone formation to create or increase the drawdown to
obtain a higher production rate from the well. Artificial lift refers to the
mechanical lifting of wellbore fluids to the surface. The main goal of artificial
lift is to maximize the ultimate recovery from any hydrocarbon reservoir.
 Artificial lift is required when the self flow of the well ends i.e. natural drive
energy is depleted to a level that the fluid is unable to move to the surface
by itself or when the production rate is too low to be economical.
