The South Gas Company of Iraq (SGC) has let a contract for flare gas recovery for Nassiriya and Al Gharraf oilfields to Baker Hughes, a GE company.
BHGE will develop solutions using modular skid-mounted gas processing technology to build a fully integrated natural gas liquid (NGL) plant at Nasiriya that will recover 200 million scfd of dry gas, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), and condensate. Completion is expected by 2021.
The modular solution will support power plants with dry gas for power generation and will help curtail the amount of gas flared that otherwise goes to waste.
The technology used to develop the plant will help produce more than 1,000 tons of LPG per day and recover more than 900 cu m per day of condensates. The surplus LPG and condensate will be exported.
