Since its inception in 2004, SOGAT is now recognised as the premier event in the international oil & gas calendar focusing on sour hydrocarbon developments inthe Middle East. The technical content of the 25 presentations found on pages 9–13 not only reflects the scope of this prestigious event but also highlights the

current international concerns for sour processing plant on energy efficiency, increasing processing capacity, HSE reliability management, SRU operationalenhancement, improving amine treatment and CO2 management, capture and usage, particularly in EOR. These practical presentations are amply supported by theexhibition of services and supplies of the world’s leading contractors, vendors and consultants. An integral part of the SOGAT event is the significant number ofpractical workshops of current technical concern and further details will be found on pages 5–8.

Given its standing, SOGAT is supported annually by many sponsoring organisations and relevant media partners. The Organisers are indebted to the following whoto date have agreed to sponsor SOGAT 2017, and are finalising similar participation with others particularly within the ADNOC group.

Sour field development plans are ongoing throughout the Middle East,given the gas demand and none more so than in the UAE where priorities

in ADNOC’S integrated gas master plan include tapping into deep and sourgas reserves, improving the processing capacity of the Al Hosn Shah plant by 50 % to 1.5 billion cft/d and deploying innovative CCUS for EOR; the latterbeing the topic of a new workshop. Moreover, Al Hosn Gas has recently beenappointed by ADNOC to appraise and develop the offshore Hail and Ghashafields which are scheduled to come onstream by 2020. These fields are inwater depths up to 15 metres but are in a very sensitive marine protectionzone. Also plans continue for the development of the Shuwaihat field.

Within this region, Saudi Aramco and their Fadhili gas project with a projectedvalue of $13.3 billion due for completion in 2019, will treat gas from onshoreand offshore fields to the tune of 17 bcf/d by 2020. This project together withWasit and Midyan, two other major new gas developments and the offshoreHasbah field will add to focus on KSA’s sour gas plans.

2017 will also see the start up of Qatar’s Barzan Project which will add over1.4bcf/d together with significant additional increases in field condensate,ethane, propane, butane and sulphur.

PDO are moving forward with the Rabab-Harweel integrated project with thesour gas from Rabab injected into the sour oil Harweel field to enhancerecovery. The YibalKhuff project, which is technically one of the most complexventures undertaken in Oman, will require a sizeable investment in sulphurremoval techniques. Also plans at Budoir for the first ever water injectioninto a sour oilfield are under review following the discovery of additional gasreservoirs.

Iran is also operating offshore drilling at Pars Phase 14 and will expect toproduce 56.5 mln cm/d of sour gas.

A recent announcement from KOC involves targeting oilfields to produce 4 mlnbppd by 2020 and within this plan there are several gas considerations.Additionally sulphur treatment facility contracts have been recently awardedat Kuwait’s Sabriya and East Raudhatain gas treatment plants.

It could be said that this region is concentrating on gas sweeteningtechnologies to deliver the ever increasing volume of sales to meet collectivedemand but they are not alone internationally given the recentannouncement from Chevron of the expansion of the Tengiz developmentin Kazakhstan. This Future Growth Project will use sour gas injectiontechnology to ramp up production. Lukoil has commenced the constructionof the Kandym gas processing complex in Bukhara, southwesternUzbekistan. Elsewhere Malaysia’s SapKen have been awarded a US$311million project to install a 36”, 18 km sour gas pipeline in Mexico.

The technologies involved in sour field management and production arealways progressing and the latest developments across the wholemanagement spectrum including observations on capturing CO2 from sourgas processing facilities for use in EOR will be included in the SOGATConference Programme. This programme focuses on presentationsprimarily from operators case studies thus providing delegates withinvaluable knowledge and data to employ in their own environments ifrequired.

As usual practical Workshops on topical issues in these areas will bepresented in the first two days of SOGAT 2017 and will cover: Sour Oil & GasProcess Optimisation; GASCO and Al Reyadah Carbon Capture Utilizationand Storage Awareness; Improving SRU Cost Efficiencies and AssociatedKPI’s; and Benefits of Hybrid Solvents for Mercaptan in Natural Gas. Morecan be found on pages 5–8.

The SOGAT Exhibition will see the world’s leading vendors and suppliersreturning again and so SOGAT 2017 will continue its well known trend andreputation, as the international event that provides a one stop review of allthe latest developments in global sour hydrocarbon management.

08.15 Licensing an EPC Project – Case Study on aFully Modularized SRU and AGE Package forGas Field in EgyptAlessandro Buonomini, Armando Costantini, Claudio Pupatti, Marco Formisano, Daniela Boni, Roberta De Stephanis, Andrea Bonomo, KT - Kinetics Technology S.p.A., ItalyEach SRU (4 packages), with a capacity of 26 t/d, is integrated with theAcid Gas Enrichment section based on the KT Multipurpose™technology. The innovations introduced in this project involve bothmanagement and the technological aspects. The main technologicalissues consist in very lean acid gas from AGR and with a high contentof impurities (mercaptans and BTEX), the flexibility of operationrequested and the Sulphur Recovery Efficiency of 99.9% together withthe emission regulation.The H2S content (from 4.2% to 15% vol of H2S) with the low turndownand the presence of impurities required optimization of both H2Senrichment and co-firing to guarantee smooth operation andperformances in all operating cases. Beside the SRE of 99.9%, thefulfillment of SO2 emission (i.e. 150 mg/Nm3) has been achieved byrecovering also the H2S from liquid sulphur degassing and storagesection. In addition, the high mercaptans presence in the Acid Gas as theproject started has required the introduction of a flue gas SO2 removalsystem to be installed in a later stage with the SRU package in operation.

08.55 Planning for Uncertainties in Gas Composition:Reduce Project Risks by Early Adoption of aRobust Gas Processing ConceptGary Bowerbank, Shell, The NetherlandsThe objective of this paper is to demonstrate that selection of a gasprocessing concept that is robust against changes in the expected gascomposition while maturing (associated) gas projects, reduces the riskof schedule delays and cost creep and may even present the opportunityto deliver first hydrocarbons to the customer earlier. In early projectphases, the availability and/or quality of data on the specific field to bedeveloped, usually, is limited. Old data, data from short well tests and/ordata from analogue fields may be available, which enable predicting acomposition with a relatively high uncertainty. This uncertainty introducesthe significant risk of entering into design recycles once higher qualitydata come in, pointing towards a somewhat different composition. Suchdesign recycles may delay schedule to first gas and lead to cost creep,thus, eroding project value. Appreciating the uncertainty in the predictedgas composition is step 1 in mitigation of the above risk. Step 2 is theselection of a gas processing concept that is robust against significantchanges in expected gas composition.

09.35 Techno-Economic Impact on theImprovements of the THIOPAQ O&G Processfor Sulfur RecoveryJan Klok, Paqell BV, The NetherlandsSmall and medium scale sulfur removal commonly occurs viaphysicochemical and biotechnological processes. In general,physicochemical processes utilize a chemical catalyst which operatesoptimally in a tight operation window. In contrast, the catalyst supplied inthe biotechnological process, such as the THIOPAQ O&G process, isnot limited to tight specifications such as high operating temperaturesand turn-down.In the THIOPAQ O&G process, the catalyst is a mixtureof naturally occurring sulfide oxidizing bacteria which multiply itself (i.e.grow) by the oxidation of dissolved sulfide into sulfur. After successfulintroduction in the oil and gas industry in 2002, the THIOPAQ O&Gtechnology captured its place as proven and competitive in the globalmarket with 16 plants commissioned and several more in various designstages. Continuous R&D efforts ensure that the THIOPAQ O&Gtechnology remains cutting edge. The latest improvementsare farreaching, as the rates and efficiencies of the processhas been increasedsignificantly. This paper gives an overview of the technical and economicimpact of theseimprovements based on two cases, with capacities of 14LTPD and 70 LTPD sulfur.

08.00 Cost Effective and Innovative EmissionReduction Configurations in Sulphur Recoveryand Tail Gas Treating UnitsPavan Chilukuri, Shell Global Solutions InternationalBV, The NetherlandsGiven the global challenges of investing in new gas-processing capitalprojects, clearly there is a need to be innovative and be “capital efficient”to avoid expensive configurations for new or brownfield projects. Toaddress these concerns and be cost efficient, Shell has made significant,inventive modifications to the existing line-ups to allow brownfield andgreenfield SRUs to meet stringent emissions regulations while still keepingCAPEX and OPEX under check. For example, Shell has incorporated thefollowing changes to the SRU/TGTU line-ups: Shell has co-developed anew family of selective solvents that are highly selective towards H2S andcan achieve extremely deep H2S removal, compared to conventionalamines. Shell’s next generation Criterion catalysts not only improvesorganic sulphur conversion, leading to reduced emissions at the stack,but also potentially reduces CAPEX & OPEX of SRUs/TGTUs. Shell’sPressurized Degassing Process enables recycling this off gas to the mainburner of the SRU, where degassed sulphur components are recoveredas elemental sulphur, thus reducing the load on TGTU absorbers.

08.40 Portable Gas Analyzer for ContinuousMonitoring of Hydrogen Sulfide in Gas StreamsSayed A.M. Marzouk, Mohamed H. Al-Marzouqi,Mohamed A.R.A. Alnaqbi, Muna S. Bufaroosha, UAE University, UAEDesign, construction, optimization and application of a low-cost andportable analyzer for real time monitoring of hydrogen sulfide in gasstream are described. The analyzer is based on our patented (US Patentnumber: 8,709,820) detection scheme of hydrogen sulfide. This is basedon absorbing hydrogen sulfide into alkaline solution and then oxidizingthe absorbed sulfide ions with hydrogen peroxide. The reaction issignificantly exothermic and the temperature rise of the reaction mediumproved to be a very reliable analytical signal for the quantification ofhydrogen sulfide. The optimization of the analyzer performance andapplications will be also presented.

14.30 Managing Process Safety in Operations Phaseof Sour Gas FacilitiesDevendra Upadhyay, Sara Nasser Taha, Al Hosn Gas Company, UAEFor new operating facilities like Al Hosn Gas, ADNOC codes of practicespecify individual risk (IR) reduction to acceptable ALARP risk levels of1 in 1,00,000/ per person/year against international benchmark levels of1 in 50,000/per person/year, which is by far the most stringent safetystandard, equivalent to managing process safety in nuclear power plants.The paper covers a number of measures adopted by Al Hosn Gas duringpast 2 years to reduce the severity and potential of serious ProcessSafety incidents by: Implementing critical processes such as HSECES,MOC, ESP, RBI, RCM; Conducting process safety design reviews for allprocess units; Defining critical competence requirements and trainingplan for identified critical positions as per Operations HSEIA; Definingsafe operating envelope monitoring; Fine-tuning risk based inspectionand maintenance frequencies with actual operational experience; andImplementing critical equipment performance standards and checkliststhrough SAP- CMMS.

15.10 New Respiratory Protection Safety Solutionsfor Sour Oil & Gas Operations Mohamed Elagrab, MSA Safety, GermanyHigh protection factors (reflecting low leakages) are not indicative ofrespirator fitness for use in atmospheres containing extremely highconcentrations of H2S. Under those critical conditions permeation of H2Sthrough the respirator materials could become a serious issue. As more oil & gas operations are moving into sour phases, it becomesimportant to rely on respirators made of the right materials to reduceH2S permeation to a minimum.

09.20 cMIST™: Compact Inline DehydrationTechnologyShwetha Ramkumar, Edward J Grave, Norman K Yeh,ExxonMobil Upstream Research Company, USAThe natural gas industry is increasingly pursuing compact and lowerweight processing technology for offshore, onshore, remote, andchallenged gas processing. Increased modularity of process equipmentand process intensification require innovative solutions. ExxonMobilUpstream Research Company has developed and qualified a new inlinedehydration technology meant to replace conventional TEG tower andassociated separator vessels to meet pipeline dewpoint specifications.Compact Mass transfer and Inline Separation Technology (cMIST™)achieves this goal with significant reductions in weight and footprint.cMIST™ enables 50% dehydration system weight reduction and 50 -80% absorber footprint reduction along with significant capital costsavings. The technology is highly modular to allow for simpletransportation into remote, challenged, or offshore environments andprovide installation configuration flexibility.

10.00 Meeting Customer CS2 Specification forNaphtha ProductsTrevor Smith, John Griffiths, Honeywell UOP, USARefiners face ever tightening product specifications with desulfurizationbeing among the top treatment priorities. Over the last few years theconcentration of CS2 in naphtha products has become an issue for manycompanies in the refining and petrochemical industries. Whether as aresult of catalyst deactivation in downstream processes or varyingproduct quality in polymer production, removing CS2 to ultra-low levelsis a challenge which needs a solution. However, given the broad rangeof CS2 specifications for both feeds and products, no single technologyis optimal to meet all possible applications. In this presentation HoneywellUOP will discuss the ways in which CS2 can be removed from naphthato ultra-low levels including hydrotreating, adsorption and fractionationand the types of scenarios where they might be applicable. Solving thisissue does not need to be capital intensive, and many retrofit optionsare available for all points along the value chain.

11.10 Ammonia Destruction in Claus Tail Gas TreatingUnitC. Balasubramanian, I.W. Sheikh, M. Natarajan, GASCO,UAEThis paper presents results from a test program conducted to monitor thesource, concentration areas and destruction of ammonia in Habshan-5SRUs. A continuous generation of ammonia at low concentrations has beenestablished by SRU acid gas feed and de-super heater contact condenser(DCC) purge out gas samples. Ammonia destruction could not be ascertainedwhile SRU reaction furnace temperature was raised to 1250 deg C, by highfuel gas co firing. However, delta T increase across hydrogenation reactorwas observed in the downstream. A detailed test plan and ammonia slippattern during change operating modes will be discussed to postulate themechanism for the destruction of ammonia in a typical gas treating unit.

11.50 Causes of the Latest SRU Failings Inshan S Mohammed, Sulfur Recovery Engineering,CanadaThe paper reports on a case study survey of the last three SRUs not meetingexpected overall recovery efficiencies and we have found the following areasof concern for all SRU operators: 1. Apparent first converter catalystdeactivation; 2. Reduced recovery efficiency due to poor Amine Unitoperation; and 3. Lower than expected Carbonyl sulfide and Carbon disulfidehydrolysis rates for full Titania catalyst. This paper summarizes each of thesecase studies by providing a description of the problem, a review of thepossible causes, and recommendations for improvement.

12.30 Boiler Tube Protection Systems: Factors toConsider when Considering Air versus OxygenOperationDomenica Misale-Lyttle, David Barrow, Industrial Ceramics Limited and Elmo Nasato, Nasato Consulting Limited, CanadaTubesheet linings are the most fragile refractory systems in the entire SRUand maintaining its reliability is essential for getting from one turnaround toanother without unplanned outages. The relationship between tubesheetlining failures and upsets in the process side (reaction furnace) has been thesubject of numerous papers and the link to failure is intuitively obvious.However, issues resulting from the WHB water/steam side are oftenoverlooked and the result is chronic and catastrophic failures. Operators oftenturn to oxygen enrichment to increase unit capacity. CFD is a tool that hasbeen increasingly used to assess the effects of various design and operatingconditions on tubesheet protection systems. The authors will present a casestudy, looking at critical metal temperatures, process parameters of massflux and differential pressure (dP) and steam side heat flux.

14.30 Opportunities for 2nd & 3rd Generation CO2Capture Technologies and Energy Integration inNatural Gas Processing for Use in EORPrachi Singh, Frank Geuzebroek, GASCO, UAEA high level methodology was developed for CO2 capture project in naturalgas processing. This work highlights the potential CO2 emission sources innatural gas processing plant, such as from gas turbines, heaters, boiler andeffluent gas of Sulphur Recovery tail gas treatment units. A preliminaryevaluation of different CO2 capture technologies was conducted mainly post-combustion and oxyfiring, based on the CO2 emission sources. It wasidentified that for gas turbines, the post-combustion capture process togetherwith exhaust gas recycling shows potential for application. For utility boilersand heaters both postcombustion and oxyfiring technology can be applied.CO2 capture from effluent gas from tail gas treatment unit can be done byboth post-combustion and oxyfiring. A brief overview of 2nd and 3rd generationadvanced CO2 post-combustion capture technologies is given. This work alsohighlights the potential to use available high and low grade waste heatavailable in natural gas processing plant for the CO2 capture process.Moreover, the impact of high ambient conditions on the CO2 capture process,mainly for amine based absorption process is highlighted. This work identifiesfurther developments and evaluations required for current and 2nd and 3rd

generation CO2 capture technologies.

15.10 Saudi Aramco Successful Experience with theFirst CO2 Capture and Injection Facility Abdallah Ismail, Abdulaziz Al-Nuaim, Saudi Aramco, KSAThe CO2 Capture and Compression Facility at Hawiyah NGL Recovery Plantwas developed as part of the Saudi Aramco Carbon Management Program.Its goal is to reduce CO2 emissions and eventually enhance oil recovery.This facility – the first of its kind in the region – was commissioned in July2015. It was designed to capture and inject 7 million tons of CO2 per year.The facility receives approximately 38 MMSCFD of wet CO2 from two AmineSweetening Units. The facility directs the CO2 stream to a new TEGdehydration and compression unit, to allow transfer of the dry CO2 to theinjection site, via a 70 km pipeline. This paper will present the major designfeatures of the facility, and highlight major challenges mitigated during thedesign and commissioning phases. The paper will also touch on keyoperating experience lessons learned.

16.15 How to deal with CO2 Cycling due to CO2 EOR?S. Azzi, V. Gazeau, A. Igwume, P. Nguyen, D. Orzhanov, C. Weiss, Total SA, France The CO2 injected in the reservoir is recycled in the recovered gas,leading to an increase of the amount of CO2 in the gas with time (forexample from 5 to 80% over the field lifetime). It is therefore required tofind a very flexible technology able to treat the permanently evolving acidgas with stringent specifications for the gas treated to be exported in thenetwork or used as fuel gas and for the CO2 to be reinjected which hasto contain defined amount of impurities. Total E&P has launched acomparison study between solvent absorption, membrane andcryogenics technologies in order to define the appropriate process in aCO2 EOR context. Optimized schemes and combinations of differenttechnologies have been studied in detail. This paper aims to present the most relevant results of this study: theadvantages of each scheme, their limitations and the expectedperformance.

08.00 DGA Treatment of Ultra-Sour Gas Case StudyDave Schulte, Steven van Wagensveld, Curt Graham, Bryant Lynch, Fluor Corporation, USAThis paper presents a case study of performance improvements in AcidGas Removal from very sour well fluids, based on operating data frommega size DGA gas treatment units in the Middle East.The results demonstrate DGA’s robustness in acid gas and organic sulfurremoval, especially for ultra-sour fields. These units treat a feed gas withapproximately 26 mol% H2S, 10 mol% CO2, COS, and mercaptans atroughly 65 barg. The treated gas is virtually free of H2S, CO2, and COS,and mercaptan levels are consistently below 10 ppmmol. This paperdescribes the limitations of conventional designs and presents analternative design with superior temperature control, which results in asignificant improvement in both absorber and overall AGRUperformance. This paper also presents a design innovation thatsignificantly improves HSE and addresses key design challengesassociated with processing low pressure, ultra-sour fluids. This newprocess can achieve 90%+ total mercaptan removal efficiency along withpractically complete removal of H2S, CO2, and COS.

08.40 Lower H2S in Tail Gas: Field DemonstrationResults for UCARSOL™ TGT SolventRoss Dugas, The Dow Chemical Company, USARemoval of residual hydrogen sulfide from low pressure sulfur plant tailgas has proved challenging at elevated lean amine or ambienttemperatures. Dow has developed and successfully demonstrated a newformulated solvent with a novel molecule that improves H2S removalperformance. When compared to current commodity MDEA andspecialty solvents this new solvent, UCARSOL™ TGT, offers aneconomically competitive alternative for reduction in sulfur emissions,particularly when temperatures are elevated. The results of the fielddemonstration will be presented along with curves showing relationshipsof amines and temperatures on the impact of SO2 emissions.

09.20 Validation of Process Simulator Predictions fora Non-Selective Absorption in a RefineryAmine SystemTommaso Rossetti, Siirtec Nigi S.p.A., ItalyThe process performances and hydraulic capacity for the several gasscrubbers and amine stripper have been evaluated under current andfuture revamped conditions; they have also been tested in differentoperating scenarios, thus allowing to collect some field DCS data andanalytic analyses. This paper represents an intermediate step of a modelvalidation started some years ago, both in terms of absorption andhydraulic performances, and is based on the comparison betweenprocess simulation results and real data. In different operating scenariosthe main operating variables and analyses have been reconciled todefine a reliable set of data to be compared with process simulator modelpredictions. The comparison between theoretical predictions and the realunit behavior is giving good results, thus allowing to consider thecalculation model as a solid base for the remaining upgrading activities.

10.30 Options for Removing Methanol from NGLJustin C. Slagle, Donnie J. Worth, Bryan Research &Engineering, Inc., USAThis work evaluates several methods for removing enough methanol inthe amine sweetening unit to meet the NGL specifications. It alsodiscusses strategies for preventing methanol buildup in the NGL byunderstanding the phase behavior through the entire plant and optimizingthe methanol injection rate. In order to make impactful decisions foroperating the plant, a complete plant model is created and compared tooperating experience.

13.00 Carryover of Catalyst from a Fixed Catalyst BedSulphur Degassing SystemStephen O’Neill, Mohammed Al-Shaabi, Aeman Al Jumaily, Dolphin Energy Limited, QatarSince start-up of this unit in 2007, it was observed that large quantitiesof catalyst were escaping from this Degassing Column and flowing intothe downstream liquid seal and into the Degassed Sulphur Pit. Regularreplacement of the catalyst bed was therefore required and the presenceof catalyst in degassed liquid sulphur also caused blockages of thedownstream liquid seals between the Degassing Column and theDegassed Sulphur Pit.Action was taken to better understand why catalyst was being entrainedinto the degassed liquid sulphur exiting the degassing column, and anumber of physical modifications were made to the system to mitigatesuch catalyst losses and improve the performance of the system.The performance of the Sulphur Degassing system was assessed afterimplementation of each modification and the observed improvements inperformance will be described in the full paper.
