Gas limit. 300bopd
The flow will be constrained by the gas produced going into the Gas generator.
41.The rate of production from the BRX4Z well will be constrained by the capacity of the generator. Should the gas produced start to exceed the capacity of the generator to accept it then the well rate will choked back. The applicant understands that the existing generator is capable of being configured to run on a variety of fuel sources, including gas. Further, a portable diesel generator is also permitted by planning permission ref: MO/2017/0916.
42.Whilst it is possible for the existing generator to utilise the gas, given the relatively short-term nature of the proposed appraisal works, it is likely that the existing generator will be replaced with a new, hired in unit. This would consist of a 375kVA gas generator with an output range of 511 kW per hour (at 50% power)to 933 kW per hour at 100% .At a production rate of 300 barrels of oil per day (BOPD) the associated gas from the Kimmeridge is anticipated to be in the region of 71 cu m per hour which is equivalent to approximately 770kW. The electrical output will be matched to the available gas output, i.e. the electrical output will be increased when more gas is available (higher pressure)and decreased when less gas is available (lower pressure)
