  1. EMPC Final Intern Presentation Caitlynn Roy EMPC Projects Execution Intern 7 August 2014

  2. Agenda • Safety Moment • Background • Projects • Other Experiences Gained • Lessons Learned • Questions

  3. Safety Moment - H2S Detection • What is the proper monitor placement? • Always place monitor at or near your face as to detect any H2S presence • Make sure sensor is not obstructed by clothing and facing outward • What happened? • Goldsmith Tract 2 Gas Leak • H2S Monitor Alarmed • Awareness: • Be aware of your surroundings • Always know the wind direction • Test the monitor each time you use it

  4. Background • Born: Dover, Delaware • Hometown: America • School: New Mexico State University – May 2016 • Degree: Chemical Engineering • Past Experience: • NMSU Aggie Innovation Space • NMSU Reduced Gravity & Biomechanics Lab • Involvement: American Institute of Chemical Engineers, Tau Beta Pi

  5. Project Assignments - XTO • MPZ/ROZ Expansion • Field: Means • Location: Andrews, TX • Facility: Sub-Battery 228 • University Block 20 Expansion • Field: Monahans • Location: Wink, TX • Facility: University Block 20

  6. Means Field Well Work Plan • History • 1934 – Discovered • 1963 – Start Water Flood • 1983 – Start CO2 Flood • Main Pay Zone / Residual Oil Zone • Re-developing the MPZ • Expanding CO2 into ROZ • Expansion will increase oil production from 6,000bpd to 13,000 bpd • Cost • Total Investment: $635 Million ($440 already funded) SB 228 North Dome Expansion Phase 1 Other Expansion Areas

  7. XTO - MPZ/ROZ Expansion • Scope: • Determine capacity of current facility • Determine facility design required for forecasted rates • Findings: • Concluded that Sub-Battery 228 will experience bottlenecking due to the current piping • The forecasted gas production requires significant facility upgrades

  8. SB 228 - Present Plot Plan A Test A B 8’x20’ Test B To TB200 Test Production To GCF/MCS

  9. SB 228 - Proposed Plot Plan New 6” Test Header New 10” Vent Line New 10” Header C A Test A B New 10’x30’ Sep 8’x20’ Test B To TB200 To TB200 Test Production To GCF/MCS

  10. Deliverables – P&IDs & Plot Plans

  11. Deliverables - Sizing • Vessel • Retention Times • Gas Composition • Slender Ratio • Pressure Safety Valves • Total blocked flow • MAWP • Pipe Line • Pressure Drop • Moody Friction Factor • Reynolds' Number • Erosional Velocity

  12. Deliverables New Facility Design • AFE – Cost: $750k • Design Review • Cost Estimates • Scheduling • Next Steps: • Bill of Materials • Passing onto the facility engineer • Construction to complete in October/November New 10” Header Key: New Equip. New 6” Test Header Existing Equip. C Test B A Production To TB200 6’x15’ Test A To TB200 8’x20’ Sep 6’x15’ Test B To GCF To Vent New 10’x30’ Sep To 10” Vent

  13. XTO University Block 20 Expansion • History: • University Land • Drilling started 2 ½ years ago • Better production than expected • Plan: • 4 wells are planned • Additional separation and treating required to meet forecasted production • Scope: • Locate potential tie-ins • Determine appropriate sized vessels • Determine line sizing

  14. University Block 20 – Plot Plan Existing Block 20 Test Sep New Block 20 Test Sep Existing Block 20 Prod Sep New H/T Existing H/T New Block 21 Prod Sep Existing Block 21 Test Seps

  15. XTO University Block 20 Expansion • Proposed solution • (2) 5’x15’ Separators • (1) 6’x20’ Heater Treater • (1) Transfer Pump • Modified Headers • Deliverables: • P&IDs, Plot Plans • Sized vessels, lines, PSV, pumps • AFE – Cost: $575k • Commission – Mid September

  16. Deliverables - Sizing • Heater Treater • Nomograph • Sivall’s Manual on Crude Oil Treating • Transfer Pumps • 1 Stage • Size: 1x2 - 10 • Impeller Size: 8.875 in

  17. Other Experiences Gained • Opportunity to work with XTO and travel to Midland, TX • Fracking & Acid Job • Perforation Job • Fabrication Yard • Enerflex Compression Skids • TB 200 Construction

  18. Lessons Learned • Value of a hands on experience • Importance of traveling to the field • Efficiency of asking an expert • Importance of engaging operations during design • Unforeseen issues not yet considered • Learning to be aware of the larger scope

  19. Thank You, Any Questions? Take the attitude of a student, never be too big to ask questions, never know too much tolearnsomething new. -OgMandino
