Capacity Expansion for Transportation ProjectSan Antonio’s Project, Bolivia

Using PipelineStudio® from Emerson (formerly Energy Solutions International), Transierra S.A. has successfully planned and optimized a capacity expansion for a critical natural gas pipelineMargarita Natural gas fi eld output is connected through a 10“ set line (17km) with Sabalo GASAN gas fi eld export lines 28“ OD (20km), which goes to Villamontes GASYRG compressor station (MOP 1440 Psig) and is connected with Yabog.

Average Volume Margarita = 1.43 MmcdAverage Volume San Antonio = 13.39 Mmcdtotal Volume SAN + MGT = 14.82 MmcdPressure out San Antonio = 1080 PsigPressure in Villamontes = 1030 Psig

“Gasan” Maximun Transport CapacityThe maximum design transport capacity is 21 MMCD. To achieve this, an output pressure of 1080 Psi (Sabalo) is required and arrival pressure of 1030 Psig (Villamontes) as shown in the simulation below.

Transport Capacity with System Compression Booster

To increase transport volume and meet the GTCS, we propose the following alternatives based on simulation:1. Independent booster system2. Integrated booster system3. Loop + booster independent/integer

Installing a booster compression system, at operating conditions of:Suction Pressure = 850-900 PsigDischarge Pressure = 1030 PsigSabalo Pressure = 1073 PsigRequired Power (Approx.) = 8400 Hp is reached at 34 Mmcd

Gasan with Loop 28 MmcdAs has been mentioned before, it is required to build a 7Km Loop and 28 OD to increase the transport capacity.

The simulation shows that, to achieve an arrival pressure of 1036 Psig (Villamontes) with a 28 Mmcd Flow and an output pressure 1080 Psig (Sabalo Gas Plant), it is not necessary to use compression for this volume, because the conditions of delivery are achieved at this point.

The simulation shows that, to achieve an arrival Pressure of 979/940 Psig (Villamontes) with a 34 Mmcd Flow and an output pressure 1050/1080 Psig (Sabalo Gas Plant), it is necessary to use compression for this volume, because the conditions of delivery required are not achieved at this point.

The simulation shows that, to achieve an arrival Pressure of 1030 Psig (Villamontes) with a 34 Mmcd Flow and an output pressure 1080 Psig (Sabalo Gas Plant), it is necessary to use a system compression booster with a power of 3000 Hp.
