Project Description

FPSO KNK and FPSO Prof. John Evans Atta Mills Ghana are operated by MODEC for the Tullow Oil Ghana. The FPSO Kwame Nkrumah MV21 and the FPSO Prof John Evans Atta Mills are two of the largest oil fields discovered offshore West Africa in the past 10 years. The FPSO KNK is located in the Jubilee Field and the FPSO Prof John Evans Atta Mills Ghana is located in the TEN Fields.

CPC Engineering has a great experience in gas compression processes and control systems, for this reason MODEC has requested the services of CPC Engineering for the optimization and the improvement in the performance of its gas compression and export systems from the FPSOs.

To this end, a team of process and compressor control specialists from CPC Engineering has been put in place to carry out the works required in the FPSOs. The main objective was to carry out a survey of the current situation of the controls, their operation and point of operation for a later analysis and definition of the proposals for improvement of their processes.

These FPSO's optimization projects are in a state of execution, resulting in potential improvements that will not only result in process optimization but also in a joint improvement of efficiency and the possibility of increasing crude oil extraction capacity.
