Ekulama I Flow station was commissioned in 1972 and was designed and built to run in an unmanned, automatic mode of operation; employing pneumatic instrumentation logic for control and shutdown in a fail-safe manner. It is built on a swamp piled foundation. The facility is a single bank, two-stage (High pressure-HP, and low pressure-LP), two-phase liquid/gas separation installation. The nominal production capacity of the flow station is 30Mbpd.
In line with standard practice and applicable regulations, NEWCROSS EP contracted MJD to carry out General Maintenance and Rehabilitation Works. This became necessary because of heavy corrosion attack caused by salty water.
The MJD Scope are not limited to the following:
- EPCI of Flare Header Sectional Replacement and Maintenance of Associated Structures: Provision of materials as per BEME/specification, flush existing 16” flare header, cold cut the corroded section as indicated by NEPL reps, Fit-up of 16” joints and weld, carry-out 100% radiography, hydrotest the flare header, clean pipe surface and paint with epoxy paint.
- EPCI of Saver Pit and Maintenance of Associated Piping
- EPCI Rehabilitation of Corrode Structural Deck
- EPCI for Replacement of a single unit of defective JIB Pole in OML 24 Field
EXECUTION STRATEGY:
- Shop fabrication & testing of Saver Pit
- Shop fabrication & testing of Jib-pole
- Site installation, Sectional replacement & hook-up to the flow station
