Revamping of the Kitina platform’s gas compression system through integration of two new reciprocating compressors:a booster for the existing compressor and a new one, for a total capacity of 900.000 Sm3/h.
The project’s development has required the construction of structural deck extensions increasing the surface of the platform by up to 20%.
Problems of vibrations resulting from the compressors have been faced and solved.
A compression station has been realized that allows the use of the compressed gas for “Gas injection”, “Gas lift” and turbo generation both on-shore and off-shore.
Moreover, Renco has performed the revamping of sea water system, used for the compression gas cooling and successively deoxygenated and used for “water injection”.
