Project Description

REGGANE NORD DEVELOPMENT PROJECT SURFACE FACILITIES

GOALS

Groupement Reggane (GRN), comprising Sonatrach, Repsol Exploración Argelia S.A., RWE Dea AG and Edison International are developing the Reggane Nord Project located in the Reggane Basin, approximately 1,500 km southwest of Algiers. The Surface Facilities include a gas gathering system connecting widely dispersed wells to a Central Processing Facility where the gas will be processed to sales specification. The gas will then be compressed, metered and exported via a pipeline to a tie-in on the main gas transport system in the region.
Two Modular Package Substations (SS01-SS02) provide electricity and services to the facility.

Main characteristics of the Packaged Substations:

  • Overall dimensions of the Substations: 70m x 9m x 4,5m
  • Modular Architecture for sea and road transportation issues
  • Gas Tight performances of the Envelope
  • Passive Fire Protection: external walls EI60 fire rated
  • Blast resistant (only SS02)
  • External Hazardous Area (only SS02)
  • Chemical Gas Extinguishing System: 2×100% redundancy for each protected room
  • F&G Detection System, included HSSD system
  • Free Issue Equipment received from the Client:
    • MV Switchgear;
    • LV Switchgears;
    • PMS cabinets;
    • Telecom Cabinets;
    • AC/DC UPS Systems;
    • Power and Control Panels for Packages (Turbines, Diesel Generators);
    • Thyristor Control Panels;
    • VSD Panels.
  • Design of HVAC system for Switchgear rooms, UPS rooms, VSD room, Battery room;
  • Centralized architecture by 2×100% AHUs (DX type) installed in HVAC room;
  • Pressurization of the Substation @30Pa by the HVAC system;
  • Battery Room ventilation.
