UOP technology for natural gas in Canada

 

Hydrocarbon Engineering,

UOP LLC, a Honeywell company has announced that Mistral Midstream Inc., has selected Honeywell’s UOP Russell modular equipment to recover valuable natural gas liquids (NGLs) from natural gas produced in southern Saskatchewan, Canada. The equipment will process 60 million ft3/d of natural gas and is expected to be in production in late 2014 at Mistral’s site. UOP’s modular design and construction approach allows equipment to enter service up to six months faster than alternative approaches while ensuring superior quality control The application is a first for UOP Russell equipment in the northern Bakken basin.

Comments

Rebecca Liebert, UOP’s senior VP and genera manager, gas processing and hydrogen said, ‘this project with Mistral showcases UOP’s ability to work in the northern Bakken basin, especially as shale gas, remote gas and distributed gas play a more vital role in the global energy economy. UOP Russell modular equipment reduces field construction time and lowers capital and operating costs for customers such as Mistral, and allows our customers to achieve aggressive schedules to first gas, which can generate significant incremental value for gas producers and processors.’
