Engineering Projects

DESCRIPTION

M&H was contracted to design and construct a production facility on the Kenai Peninsula of Alaska for 20 oil production and 10 water injection wells. The project was completed on schedule and under budget in 2016.

The facility contains oil and gas processing equipment and is rated at a capacity of 10,000 BOPD, 10,000 BWPD, and 15 MMSCFD.

The facility includes equipment to process, treat, and export natural gas to the local pipeline utility by using a series of reciprocating gas compressors, glycol dehydration, and onsite measurement. Oil is treated through separation, heat and filtration, and chemical treating before being metered through LACT units and exported by truck. Water is separated, treated, and stored in tanks before being exported offsite.

Gas Plant Repurposing

Amarillo, TX, USA

DESCRIPTION

M&H was contracted to complete a FEED study and the subsequent detailed engineering to repurpose a gas plant located in Amarillo, TX. The goal of the repurposing project was to bypass and abandon the existing cryogenic treatment facilities while providing a fit for purpose upgrade to existing process equipment and the addition of new equipment in order to meet the required specifications for sales of gas and liquids to a new buyer.

Design flow rates for the repurposing project were 50 MMSCFD with up to 300 PPM H2S and 2% CO2 and 2,500 BLPD with up to 1,200 ppm H2S and .1% CO2. The facility repurposing was designed and organized in a way that would allow for the facility to remain operational as much as possible during the construction phase.
