AGENDA
08:00 Registration and coffee
09:00 Opening welcome and keynote address
Saif Al Ghafli, Chief Executive Officer, ADNOC CONOCOPHILLIPS JOINT VENTURE
09:15 Business card exchange
09:30 Session One: Major sour gas projects in the region
Chairman: Adel Al Jaberi, Gas Engineering Manager, ABU DHABI COMPANY FOR ONSHORE OPERATIONS (ADCO)
- Special focus: Shah Gas Development Project – A new frontier in sour gas processing
The Shah Gas Development (SGD) Project is the first development of a very sour gas field in Abu Dhabi. The well fluid contains approximately 10 mole % CO2 and 23 mole % H2S. The SGD Project is designed to treat and process about 1,000 MMscfd of this feed stream. This presentation will address how the sour nature of the produced gas, the large volumes of processed gas and produced sulphur will set a new benchmark for the gas processing and sulphur recovery industry.
- Case study: Exploring the capabilities of the Rakgas processing plant and best practices for efficient project management – technical and logistical issues of sulphur recovery
Abdalla Al Muhairi, Deputy Senior Vice President, Projects, ABU DHABI GAS DEVELOPMENT COMPANY LIMITED (GASCO)
