The Compression Phase III project handles approximately 100 mmscfd of additional associated gas production, which will contribute to increasing oil production from the Field. The compressors reinject this gas for reservoir pressure maintenance, effectively storing the gas for future production. The project has a total of 33 compressors in three stations and was constructed in approximately 6 months. The compressors now bring Tatweer’s total installed compression capacity to over 230 MMSCFD.
Dr. Mirza commended the progress Tatweer is undertaking to handle associated gas production as this will contribute to conserving energy and will pave the way for increasing future oil production from the Bahrain field.
