Tower Compressor Station

Capital Cost:

$10MM (Compressor)
$13 MM (Pipeline)

The Mandate:

The objective of this project was to build a grass-roots compressor station in northeast British Columbia. The compressor station is used to boost the pressure of sour gas from surrounding well sites located in the Tower gas field. The compressed gas is dehydrated and then tied-in to a raw gas gathering pipeline at 16-28-081-17 W6M which transports the compressed dehydrated gas to the Taylor McMahon gas plant.

The Solution:

We designed and managed construction of a sour gas compressor station in BC at 09-28-81-17W6. This included a separator package, a 12MMSCFD compressor package, a 25MMSCFD dehy, water and condensate storage tanks, VRU, flare and KO drum, with associated electricals. In 2008, an additional compressor of similar capacity, along with a second inlet separator was installed.

Associated flow lines included 19 km of 6" pipeline with a major HDD river crossing of 1.5 km at Septimus Creek at a total cost of $6MM, including $1.15MM for the crossing. Also 14 km of 8" pipeline including two HDD river crossings of 1 km and 0.6 km at Kiskatinaw River and an unnamed creek at a total cost of $8MM, including $1.5MM for the crossings.
