SLIDE 2

Overview

  • Understand the process for evaluating CO2

facility needs

  • Overview of FEED study topics
  • Discuss facility issues evaluated during

FEED study

  • Basics of cost estimating for CO2 projects
slide-3
SLIDE 3

FEED Study Goals

  • Develop conceptual design of facilities
  • Evaluate alternatives and options
  • Provide cost estimates for analysis of project

economics

  • Develop schedule for project design,

construction, and implementation

  • Identify risks which could impact project cost

and/or schedule

CO2 Supply

  • Sources

– Geologic (Sheep Mountain, Bravo Dome) – Anthropogenic (Natural Gas Plants, Ethanol Plants)

  • Delivery Method

– Pipeline – Trucking

  • Delivery Conditions

– Pressure – Temperature – Composition – Water Content

slide-11
SLIDE 11

Gas Processing

  • What to do with the recycle gas stream

– Hydrocarbon recovery – Full-stream reinjection

  • Dehydration
  • Compression

– Optimal operating pressures – Horsepower requirements – Gas engine vs. electric motor drive – Efficiency of pumping vs. compression

Typical Recycle Stream

Inlet Compression Produced Gas Stream Field Injection Dehydration (if necessary) Re-Injection Compression Emergency Flare

slide-13
SLIDE 13

Production Facilities

  • Operating pressure
  • Flowline sizing and materials
  • Separator sizing
  • Adequate test facilities?
  • Automation requirements
  • Vent / relief systems
  • Water and oil separation
  • Storage capacity – adequate tankage?
  • Vapor recovery

Injection System

Operating pressure Water and CO2 distribution system layout Injection flowline sizing and materials Hydraulic modeling of injection system WAG injection skid design / location

slide-15
SLIDE 15

Water Handling

Where to put excess produced water?

– Utilize in existing waterflood – Use for “fill-up” in future CO2 project phases – Water disposal wells – Surface discharge permits

Make up water

slide-16
SLIDE 16

Auxiliary Systems

Electric power availability

– Coordinate with electric power provider – Power system analysis

Fuel gas needs and availability

slide-17

Cost Estimating

  • Utilize conceptual design from FEED study
  • Focus on capturing MAJOR costs
  • Understand the level of accuracy
  • Estimating methods

– Vendor quotes – Historical information – Rules of thumb (i.e. $60,000 / inch-mile)

  • Acknowledge regional factors
slide-18
SLIDE 18

FEED Study Deliverables

  • Technical Report

– Summary of study – Design description and justification – Comparison of design alternatives

  • Capital and Operating Cost Estimates
  • Project Schedule
  • Risk Analysis
  • Process Flow Diagram(s)
  • Field Layout / Routing Plans
slide-19
SLIDE 19

Needs from Client

  • Results of reservoir modeling

– Forecast production/injection rates and pressures

  • Maps

– Field map with well and facility locations – Pipeline maps (CO2 delivery, sales pipelines, etc.) – Power distribution system map

  • Fluid properties
  • Information on existing facilities

– Equipment lists, drawings, etc.
