*    Office Park
*    Material Warehouses and Maintenance Workshops
*    Integrated Laboratory
*    536 New Company family houses
*    Sport ad Recreation facilities
*    Bachelor quarters
*    Independent Offices

*    Fitness Center
*    Police Station
*    Fire Station
*    Offices

 

New Power Generator

A new 30-megawatt generator was installed successfully to enhance the current three generators and increase the total production capacity of KJO to 120 megawatt.

Moreover, additional eight DBs were installed to supply power to the future projects.

The operating system of the current generators and the current control system in the control room were replaced by modern operating and control systems.

 

Renovation of Water Treatment Facilities Phase-2

The work is goning in full swing to renovate and construct new Water Treatment Facilities of larger capacity (3000 GPM) to separate oil from water. This project will increase the capacity of the Station in line with environment and safety requirements.

 

40KV Submarine Cable and GIS

The project includes engineering, procurement and construction of a new 40KV power transmission system. The major facilities involved are a 42 km submarine cable (40 kV, 20 MVA, three (3) cores) inclusive of a build-in -fiber optic cables, two (2) 40 kv Substations comprising of Gas insulated Switchgear (GIS) one each at onshore and offshore and an offshore platform, namely Utility Platform (UTP).

 

Construction of No. 2 Gas Lift Station

This project will provide four Gas turbine compressors with conditioning skid. TEG gas dehydration system and related facilities in order to supply enough capacity of gas lift for all planned gas lift wells and onshore fuel gas.

 

Modification of Offshore Control system

This project intends to replace the tie-worm offshore SCADA system with DCS for the Gathering platform and Flow Stations. DCS will communicate with PMCR and HCR Onshore. This existing field instrumentation will be modernized by replacing numeric instruments by electronic instruments and by refurbishing other instrumentation.

 

Installation of Security Monitoring System, This system includes:

*    Security perimeter fence a accordance with SSD-1
*    A New security lighting
*    A new reinforce concrete security control center in accordance with SSD-26
*   Fence intruder Detection and Assessment System (IDAS) which will be an integrated system comprised of Closed Circuit Television System (CCTC)
*    Fiber Optic Sensor System
*    Video Motion Detection and a Micro Wave Detection System.

 

AGOC Home Ownership

Home ownership is a major Program Land lot area is 1.5 sq. km. (1km X 1.5km) at Al- Khafji. The Program involved design, Tender, Construction and commissioning of Infrastructure and other Community Support Facilities 850 Land lots with a total area of 1.5 sq. kms (1 km. X 1.5Km.).

Constructing Two New Gas Lift Stations
Station 1 & Station 2:

New Gas Plant was recently constructed within Khafji Joints Operations facilities and currently under commissioning. The new facility will collect all separated gas from Khafji Reservoir from both onshore and offshore. The objects of this new gas plant are the followings:


1- Sustain maximum operating capacity of 300 MBOD for Khafji Crude in the coming 20 years by increasing lift Gas Rate from 25 MMSCFD to 50 MMSCFD.

2- Minimize Flaring by collecting all flared gas at offshore and send it to new onshore gas plant.

3- Recover NGL and export it to both shareholders.


The new facilities collect all offshore and onshore gas with total rate of 120 MMSCFD and compress the gas to 750 psig by three Medium Pressure Compressors driven with Gas Turbines. The compressed gas is dehydrated to -40 Deg. C dew point and then cooled down to - 35 Deg. C utilizing propane refrigeration system where 6000-8000 Barrels of NGL is recovered in daily basis. The remaining gas is utilized to feed lift gas compressors and Medium Pressure and Low Pressure Fuel customers. 50 MMSCFD of the gas is processed to two onshore lift gas compressors driven by motors where gas pressure is increased from 400 psig until 1350 psig feeding offshore lift gas network. It worth mention that the new onshore lift gas compressors are replacing the old two offshore lift gas compressor.
