K5500 shut down due to high lube oil temperature following a cascade of events which started when the reboilers were knocked off line during circuit breaker PM's. During this time a total of 10 restarts were attempted with varying durations of run time between shut down and restart sequences. An instrument tech was called out when it was determined that instrumentation problems were delaying the next restart attempt. Additionally, the manufacturer, Toromont Compressor, was contacted to provide technical support during the event. If you require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

K5500 wet gas compressor shutdown. The shutdown was caused by tubing fitting failure on the seal oil system. Tubing failure caussed oil mist to fill skid and resulted in high gas alarms. Emergency Response Team was activated and GC-3 Gas Plant reboiler system was shut down to prevent ignition source until leak source was identified and corrected. 2. Flared from slugcatchers when it was reported that CGF was recieving wet gas. The reboilers on the regeneration trains had been restarted and the temperatures were just below setpoint. Action Taken to Stop Flaring: 1. GC-3 throughput was reduced per the GC-3/K-5500 Flaring Procedure. Gas rates were reduced immediately. Both gas regeneration trains were shutdown as a precaution (elimination of ignition sources when mist was identified in the utiliway adjacent to the regeneration skids) after compressor shutdown. The total gas rates were reduced to 400 mmscfd thru the plant. Approx. 17 to 25 Wells with high water cut! high GOR were shut in so the skim tanks could be taken out of service. Timing of actions following isolation of the initial leak were per the K-5500 procedure (after one hour, 0815, GC-3 was reduced to a single skim tank operation. After 4 hours, 1115, water rates were reduced and both GC-3 skim tanks were shut down). 2. Slugcatcher flare valves were closed after the temperature reached setpoint.

Repair work required 30 minutes. Problems were encountered in re-energizing the motor power, extending the shutdown to 93 minutes. Action Taken to Stop Flaring: 1. Per Gathering center 3/K-5500 Wet gas Compressor Flaring Procedures, The Gathering Center went to a one skim tank operation after one hour shutdown time (0845). There were no rate cuts made due to the slow increase in skim tank level (in expectation of iminent compressor re-start).

Flared at an approximate rate of 5 mmscfd (no black smoke occurred, so no flare assist gas was flared) per operating procedure. 2. GC isolated one of two oil skim tanks at 0400 hrs to further reduce flaring per operating procedure. Approximate volume of LP gas cuts made was 135 mmscfd from 18 wells. Accelerated next step in operating procedure and started HP cuts (approximate volume of HP gas cuts made was 450 mmscfd from 19 wells) to GC when CGF boosters SD at 0620 hrs and gas transit line pressure was increasing. 3. GC water rates reduced to 50 mbwd and transferred from GC3 to FS3. GC skim tanks, produced water surge tank, slop oil tank, gas flotation cells and dirty water tanks were shut down and isolated. All flared gas from the water handling facility eliminated, and flaring reduced to approximately 2.2 mmscfd per operating procedure.

Flare/Relief Valve 00:16 15:20 15Hrs. 20Mins 0 ^ ^ 639 MSCF TOTAL VOLUME 639 MSCF First Determination of Cause: 1. Central Power Station problems caused multiple field wide power outages. Due to these continual power outages wells were put on and shut-in several times. To prevent over pressure of LDF's, flowlines were left lined up to the LP system. Flare valves cycled to prevent over pressure of vessels. Action Taken to Stop Flaring: 1. All well pads to GC-3 were shut in. Upon restart, started up GC with HP system only, giving the facility time to warm up. Started up LPS compressor, closing flare valves off of the slugcatchers.

This is normal maintenance and is being done in a planned manner to avoid an unplanned shutdown in the future. * The work will be done around Saturday's planned TAPS pipeline shutdown (software upgrades required by JPO). * We anticipate that the duration of work on K-5500 will not exceed 24 hours. * We estimate that the gas volume flared in 24 hours should be in the range of 3 MMSCFD, using our K-5500 flaring procedure to make step-wise reductions in GC-3 throughput. We estimate that shutting the entire Gathering Center down would result in flaring at least 10 MMSCFD. Thus keeping the work under 24 hours should minimize the volume of gas flared when compared to a full shutdown. * Temperatures on the North Slope are in the -15 to -20F range. We believe that shutting the entire facility down in cold temperatures would not be prudent operating practice. Shutdown of the entire Gathering Center would increase the risk of frozen pipes in cold weather. * Our mechanical overhaul crew has worked with the compressor vendor to plan the work and are confident that the work can be completed in a shift. This is the first time that this operation has been undertaken on K-5500. We anticipate that it will be possible to complete the work more rapidly in the future. * We will document steps taken to minimize flaring in our normal flare reports.
