Module-Type Formation Pressure Maintenance Plant

Formation pressure maintenance systems perform the following functions:

• Formation water lifting and pipeline transportation
• Bed stimulation by means of pressure build-up
• Local water injection into bed and produced water pumping

Pump stations for formation pressure maintenance systems consist of the following systems:

• Fluid registration and preparation system (suction pipeline)
• Regulation system (discharge pipeline)
• Automatic control complex (pump control station)

This plant package allows doing the following:

• Maintain optimal pump operation
• Make emergency shut-down in case of critical parameter value achievement

All the equipment is installed in a block-box.

The station operation is performed automatically with a preset pumping volume. Frame type block-boxes are equipped with heating systems (designed for operation at ambient temperature from +35°C to -50°C), ventilation and light.

Advantages of Formation Pressure Maintenance Systems:

• Block design concept of construction
• Small block dimensions
• Possibility of quick transformation and block moving to a new place
• Decrease of expenses for preparation of ground for block installation
• Use of wide range of pump units completing the block
• Possibility to carry out scheduled operations as well as mounting/dismantling works without involvement of any additional hoisting equipment (truck cranes, loaders etc.)
• All-weather block design
• Possibility to connect the block to the system of automatic industrial process control of maintain formation pressure

Upon the Customer’s request, any unit which is a part of the oil treatment plant (OTP) can be supplied apart from the complex in accordance to specific process conditions.
