Power generation
Recovered electrical power reduces the load on conventional onboard generation and its associated fuel-gas consumption.
Offshore gas & gas-condensate
Offshore gas.
More value from pressure.
Convert reservoir pressure energy and available waste heat into electrical power in gas and gas-condensate production, with power recovery and process cooling integrated into the facility.
The opportunity
Use the energy
arriving at the facility.
High-pressure wellstreams carry substantial pressure energy into the facility. WEX²® recovers a significant part of this energy during pressure reduction. The turboexpander converts over 80% of the available gas expansion energy into shaft power while maintaining the required process conditions. The feed-gas heater transfers available waste heat into the gas before expansion, increasing electrical output.
How WEX²® worksWaste-heat conversion
Integrate available waste heat upstream of the turboexpander to convert it into additional electrical power. Expansion cooling supports suitable downstream process duties.
Asset-life flexibility
Production decline, compressor operation and potential satellite tie-ins are assessed to identify configurations that remain useful as the asset evolves.
Project development
Built around
your operating reality.
A project-specific assessment establishes recoverable power, process effects and the preferred integration concept.
- Changing field conditions
Evaluate plateau, decline and planned tie-in flows against the equipment operating envelope.
- Offshore integration
Space, weight, tie-in locations, maintenance and shutdown planning form part of concept selection.
- Production availability
Pressure control, bypass, isolation and protection must fit the facility’s operating philosophy.
Delivery
The right route
for the project.
For offshore projects, WEX²® can be integrated through the operator’s established development and procurement process. WellPower supports screening, concept selection and pre-FEED.
