Access:
roads and airstrips |
| |
|
| |
Current
producing fields have access roads where most of the heavy
oilfield equipment can be transported. Air transport is
readily available in most remote parts of the country,
necessitated by the extreme physiography of PNG. Old airstrips
are readily available for use if needed. |

Production
Facilities |
| |
|
| |
There
are three production facilities that cater for the Kutubu,
Agogo and Gobe fields. These facilities are capable of
undertaking three main objectives: |
| |
|
| |
| a. |
Processing
of crude up to specifications suitable for export;
|
| b. |
Treatment
of Natural gas for re-injection into the reservoirs
for storage and pressure maintenance; and |
| c. |
Treatment
of water for re-injection also for the purpose of
pressure maintenance. |
|
| |
|
| |
The
three Production Facilities include: |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
1.Central
Production Facility (CPF) |
| |
|
| |
CPF
is situated within the Kutubu oilfield and processes Kutubu
crude oil. This facility has the capacity to process up
to 120 000 barrels of oil per day and includes utilities
such as Slug catchers, Inlet separators, Stabilizers,
Gas Compressors and TEG units all used to carry out the
three prime objectives already named. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
2.Gobe
Production Facility (GPF) |
| |
|
| |
This
Facility is situated within the Gobe oil field. It
can process up to 50, 000 barrels of oil per day. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
3.Agogo
Production Facility (APF) |
| |
|
| |
This
facility does not process any produced crude oil within
the Agogo area and thus is the smallest of the three production
facilities. A single inlet separator is utilized for the
main purpose of separation of crude oil, water and gas.
The different phases of separated fluids are then measured
and any gas produced is sent for treatment, compression
and re-injection whilst the crude oil and water are recombined
for export to the CPF for further treatment. The APF also
undertakes measurement of fluids produced from the Moran
oil fields (EWT production). Through the use of Moran
test separator the produced phases of fluids are separated,
measured and finally the crude oil and water are recombined
and exported to the CPF for further processing. Any Moran
gas is sent to Moran TEG units and Gas compressors for
treatment and re-injection within the Agogo field. |

Production
Flow-lines |
| |
|
| |
An
extensive system of flow lines and headers provide an
efficient gathering mechanism that is used for the transport
of produced fluids from the wellheads to the production
facilities. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
Export
Pipeline |
| |
|
| |
Currently
there is a 261 kilometers of 20-inch export pipeline that
connects the current oilfields to an offshore Marine export
terminal. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
Marine
Export Terminal |
| |
|
| |
The
Marine export terminal is on a platform situated in deep
water and readily accessible to oil tankers for offloading.
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
Kutubu
Mini Refinery (KMR) |
| |
|
| |
The
Kutubu Mini refinery has the sole function to produce
fuel hydrocarbons used within the Kutubu Project area
and a small quantity is sold to customers within and around
the Highlands of PNG. The KMR has a production capacity
to process 1500 barrels of oil per day. The products produced are
naphthalene, kerosene, diesel and residue. |
