1.0. INTRODUCTION

The world as a global village is confronted presently with the threat of extinction as a result of incessant

emission of dangerous gases such as carbon dioxide(CO2), NOx (N2O,NO,NO2), Hydrogen Sulfide(H2S),

Halocarbons(CFCs and HCFCs), methane, HO radicals, etc. These are responsible for the destruction of

the stratospheric ozone layer, that protects the earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation, also known as

Green House Gases (GHG), and has subjected the global community to a disastrous ecological imbalance

known as Ozone Layer Depletion, which resulted to a catastrophic phenomenon called Global Warming,

a precursor of climate change and other pandemic effects, such as the damaging of the DNA of plants and

animals, skin cancers, cataracts, etc.

These gases are mainly anthropogenic in nature (i.e. caused by human factors) and are mostly due to gas

flaring. No wander, the United Nations in the Frame Work Convention on climate change (UNFCCC)

known as Kyoto Protocol, declared the above gases as Green House Gases, and they are mainly caused by

gas flaring. This resulted in the United Nations resolution to stop gas flaring.

A recent data released from the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), that oil and gas

companies in Nigeria burn over $3.5 to $5 billion yearly from over 257 flow stations in the Niger Delta.

That specifically, the country flared about 17.15 per cent of the 95,471 metric tons of gas produced in

June 2015 alone. Also, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) stated in 2015

Statistical Report, that Nigeria produced 86,325.2 million standard cubic meters in 2014. Also, NNPC

disclosed that Nigeria lost up to $868.8 million, about =N=173.76 billion to gas flaring in 2014.Using the

Nigeria Gas Company’s(NGC) price of $3 per 1000 SCF of gas at the current exchange rate realities,, the

flaring of 289.6 billion SCF of gas translated to a loss of $868.8 million, an equivalent of =N=173.76

billion. Specifically, the oil and gas company produced 2.524 trillion SCF of gas, utilized 2.235 trillion

SCF and flared 289.6 billion SCF.

Against these backdrops and the likes of it, Nigeria came up with a legislation to stop gas flaring. This

gave birth to the present gas monetization process in Nigeria, for which Ogabiri Gas Gathering project is

the nucleus.

1.1 BACKGROUND

Fig.1.0 Map Outlay of Ogabiri Gas Gathering Project.

Ogabiri Gas Gathering Project is made up of five flow stations, thus: Ibugben, Ogabiri-1, Ogabiri-2,

Rumokun-1 and Rumokun-2, with the central gas gathering facility located at Ogabiri-1, gathering gases

from Ibugben, Rumokun-1 and 2 respectively, via gas pipelines, existing along the right of way. Then, en

Route Ogabiri-2, where the new Gas Treatment and Compression Facilities are to be installed. Here, the

gas will be treated according to the West African Gas Pipelines’ specification before exiting to the NGC

Excravos-Lagos Pipeline Systems (ELPS) via a 4.5km new right of way.

1.2 SCOPE OF WORK.

The Field Engineering Limited’s Ogabiri Gas Gathering Project contract scope of this work covers a

“Detailed Pipeline Design for 38” x 9 km Pipeline Connecting Ibugben Flow Station to Ogabiri-1

Manifold. To achieve this, the Ibugben gas and water stream’s compositions and conditions were

simulated using HYSIS. While, the design simulation of the 38” x 9 km Pipeline connecting Ibugben

Flow Station to Ogabiri-1 Manifold, was done using PIPESIM simulation.

The design conditions, compositions, calculation results, codes, etc, of the high pressure gas line running

from Ibugben to Ogabiri-1 Manifold, will be included in the table below. Pipeline testing is also included

to ensure compliance to ISO, ASME and ASTM specifications.

1.4 DESIGN INTERFACE.

The 38” x 9 km gas pipeline from Ibugben Flow Station to Ogabiri-1 Manifold will be entrenched (1.5m

x 1m depth x 9 km) via existing Right of Way (ROW), en route the bushy/swampy terrain of Ibugben to

Ogabiri community, connecting the Ogabiri Gas Gathering Facility, from where the gas will be

transported to NGS Excravos via ELPS pipeline route. The pipeline will interface at the other end with a

Pig Launcher/Receivers, as well as other tie-in integration requirements.

Pipeline Design Teams will interface with these other teams: Process Engineering, Mechanical

Engineering, Piping, Civil/Structural Engineering as well as Electrical Engineering & Instrumentations

Engineering, for the success of the project and will during the course of this project, exchange inputs with

the afore-mentioned disciplines. The Pipeline teams will also interface with the project management team

for effective and timely delivery of the entire project.

2.0 GAS PIPE DESIGN CRITERIA.

Natural gas transmission system design philosophy has survived revisions of guidelines that specify the

detailed criteria for all component design. While standards used in different countries defer, still there is a

conspicuous wide overlap of the basic guidelines between them. The major criteria considered below

comprise pressure and temperature ratings, gas constituent specifications, gas velocity, pipeline sizing,

stress analysis and location class.

The size of pipeline and associated equipment should be determined, by applying a suitable flow equation

to a simple pipe system and/or by using a sophisticated computer program for their model.

2.1 Velocity Consideration

In choosing the line diameter, consideration was given to maximum and minimum velocities of the pipe.

It should not cause excess noise, erosion and water hammer. Also, the line was seized in such a way that

the minimum velocity of the fluid shall prevent surging and keeps the line swept clean of entrained solid

and liquids.

2.2 Corrosion Considerations

The piping lay out designed shall be in such a way to minimize corrosion in the piping systems due to

presence of water pockets and any other situation leading to internal or external corrosion. In general

minimum allowance of 1 mm is considered for carbon steel piping and 0 mm for stainless steel piping.

2.3 Applicable Industry Guidelines: Specifications, Codes and Standards.

The following industry guidelines and Standards shall apply.

2.4 Material Selection for Pipeline.

This pipeline connecting Ibugben Flow Station to Ogabiri-1 Manifold is the only line that discharges

production from Ibugben Flow Station to Ogabiri-1 Manifold. Therefore, no other alternative exists for

discharging production. Nonetheless, with respect to material selection, a detailed study carried out by

Field Engineering Limited came up with the following recommendation:

2.4.1. Pipe Material

The selection of material in general shall be as given below, thus:

(i) Carbon steel, for temperature less than or equal to 425ºC. This was used considering the

climatic condition of Nigeria.

(ii) Alloy steel for temperatures greater than 425 ºC.

(iii) Low temperature carbon steel, for temperatures less than -29 ºC to 45 ºC.

(iv) Stainless steel, for temperatures below -45 ºC.

2.4.2. Flexibility Analysis.

2.4.2.1. Rigidity of Pipe Supports.

i. There should be a complete utilization of the rigidity of the pipe supports and complete

avoidance of spring supports, as well as rod hangers wherever design permits. This will check caving in

or bending of pipelines, which may compromise the reliability of the pipeline.

ii In cases, where Teflon sheets or similar low friction materials are used to reduce the design loads on

piping and/or the supporting structure, provision shall be made to allow angular adjustment of bearing

surface during installation, so there shall be an assurance of even distribution of the load.

2.4.2.2 Dynamic Effects Considerations.

There should not be any oversight in putting into consideration the effects of dynamic pressures, both

external and internal. The dynamic pressures shall be critically analyzed and the final best result of the

analysis shall be considered a suitable choice for use, so as to contain the opposing dynamic pressures in

the pipeline. Take for instance, pressures from surge, slug, safety valve thrust, water hammer, etc.

2.4.3 The Choice for 38” Pipe Instead of Another for Ibugben F/S to Ogabiri-1

M/F Pipeline.

The hydraulic simulation studies carried out during the design stage included sensitivity analysis using

various pipe diameters. The study was however not limited to determining the size of the Ibugben flow

station to Ogabiri-1 Manifold line as the only standing pipe line, but took into a careful thought, the effect

on the sizing of the entire SPDC Ogabiri Gas Gathering-NGC-ELPS pipeline, of which Ibugben Flow

Station to Ogabiri-1 manifold pipeline is an integral part of it.

The sensitivity analysis indicated a very high pressure of between 66-82 barg for about 10 years of the

line operation as well as velocities higher or lower than that acceptable for same period, if an 18”, 22”,

32”, 40”, etc, diameter was used respectively. The selected 16” diameter line size provides the acceptable

pressure and velocity regimes needed for the desired service with special consideration to the Ogabiri Gas

Gathering – NGC – ELPS network.

Again, from the map out-lay of the Ogabiri Gas Gathering project, all pipelines are 38” pipes, excepting

from Ogabiri – 2 Manifold to NGC – ELPS line, passing through the CPF compression Gas Treatment;

which is 28”, due to gas compression, which entails more pressure.

3.0. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The proposed system will include tie-back of the following, thus:

The 38” X 9 km Gas Pipeline from Ibugben Flow Station to Ogabiri-1 Manifold, which dispatches its

production at Ogabiri-1 Manifold, alongside other pipelines. From here the gathered productions are

evacuated to Ogabiri-2 CPF Compression and Gas Treatment via 38” x 3km pipeline. Then, the

compressed and treated production is routed to ELPS, via a distance of 4.5km using same pipe-type.

3.1 Gas Export Pipeline.

The Ogabiri Gas Pipeline Project will be as per current WAGC codes and standards.

4.0 General Design Parameters.

Here, in this section, is presented a general design parameters for the Gas Export Pipelines, upon which

the FEED engineering is performed.

4.1 Functional Requirements.

The general functional requirements of the pipeline systems applicable in this project are summarized,

thus:

i. To enable a safe transportation and distribution of processed gas from the Ibugben Flow

Station to Ogabiri-1 Manifold, en route the ELPS.

ii. To provide preventive or interventional remediation methods to check blockage of flows,

such as chemical injection, intelligent pigging, insulation, testing, swabbing, gauging,

compact filling, etc.

iii. To counteract environmental effects and operational loads.

iv. To check temperature and pressure loss, respectively.

v. To ensure compliance to pipeline design integrity, by compliance to standard pipeline design

specifications, the effective use of supports, etc, where necessary. Etc.

4.2. Pipe Route Criteria.

The pipeline routes are entirely based on the existing Ogabiri Gas Project ROW. This is selected based on

the criteria that all routings shall be done in such a way to check or minimize the geo-technological

hazards, such as areas with severe depressions, faults, volcanic eruptions, urbanization and civil
