Purpose

Boost multiphase wellstream pressure for transfer to gathering or central processing facilities.

Arrangement and integration

Equipment functional diagram

The diagram identifies the principal process duties, equipment connections and product handover points. Final scope, redundancy and battery limits are established from project data.
