1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 General
PETRONAS CARIGALI (Pakistan) Ltd. (PCPL) is undertaking the development of Mehar

Gas Field in Mehar Block (Block 2767-1) located in Sindh and Balochistan Provinces of
Pakistan.
PCPL intends to develop the Mehar Field by installing a Gathering System, Gas
Processing Facility (GPF) and Product Storage & Loading Facilities. The field facilities
will be developed in two phases, Phase-I and Phase-2. Phase-1 development will cater
to 55 MMSCFD of gas productions and Phase-2 will cater to 80 MMSCFD of gas
productions. The expected condensate production rate is 6600 BPD for Phase-I and
7000 BPD for Phase-2. From GPF, treated sales gas will be exported through a new
pipeline to existing SSGCL/SNGPL gas pipeline. Stabilized condensate and produced
LPG will be exported by road tankers.
Mehar Block is located in the Kirthar Fold belt area, in the Middle Indus Basin. Mehar
field is located about 190 km west of Sukkur and 400 km north of Karachi in Sindh
province. The environment is arid and the terrain is mountainous. Mazarani gas field,
operated by PPL is situated about 25 km to the north, while Zamzama gas field operated
by BHP is situated about 70 km to the north of Mehar Field.
Mehar field consists of Pab and Ranikot formations. The wells will be connected to the
new GPF through a Gathering System. There will be a total of 8 wells (4 in Pab & 4 in
Ranikot) in Phase-1 and 3 additional wells (2 in Pab & 1 in Ranikot), totaling 11, in
Phase-2 of the Mehar field development.

healthy status, flow computer fault status.
The flow computer shall be supplied with dedicated supervisory computer and all
necessary configuration software required. The configuration software shall run on
Microsoft Windows XP or latest.
4.6.2 Accessibility Levels
The flow computer will have at least 2 access levels:

• Restricted access (operator level).
The random access must be protected by means of a hardware switch-off facility and
gives special access to the following data:
• Engineering units;
• Scaling factors;
• Correction factors;

Project Title

12 MGDP I 1025 0 19 of 23
• Calibration factors;
• Programming;
• Constants;
• The switch-off facility must be inside the computer housing.
The restricted access level gives only access to the various displayed values such as:
• Differential pressure;
• Pressure;
• Temperature;
• Corrected flow rate;
• Mol % N2;
• Mol % CO2 etc.;
• Molecular weight;
• Accumulative corrected quantity;
• All data where a change of data does not affect the accumulated quantity.
4.6.3 Display
The LCD type display presents alphanumeric data in at least 2 lines with a minimum of
16 characters each.
4.6.4 Key Pad
The integrated key-pad serves the purpose of selecting the information to be displayed
and of entering the alphanumeric values of data as described above in "Accessibility
levels" Section.
4.6.5 Memory Back-up

linearised by the flow computer.
4.6.8 Selection of Flow Inputs
Where two differential pressure transmitters shall be used, the selection of the low or
high flow range transmitter shall be done automatically base on the flow rate. At the end
of the low flow range of the transmitter for low flow, the computer switches over to the
transmitter for high range by increasing flow. The reverse sequence is followed on
decreasing flow.

4.6.10 Error Handling
Input errors (transmitter failure) must be displayed on the display and will activate the
flow computer trouble alarm output.
System errors shall be handled in the same way.
Below an output of 10% for a period of up to 4 minutes, an alarm will be generated. Also
at an output above 100% the system will generate an alarm "out of limit" on the system
display and via the digital output flow computer trouble. Also an alarm message will be
printed on the printer. The flow computer shall also generate Flow Computer healthy
indication.
The start and end time of every error will be stored in the system memory.
4.6.11 Print Reports
Flow computer shall be able to produce a print report on manual command. A print
report consists of the following information:
• Year, Month, Day and Time;
• Total cumulative corrected quantity in MMSCF;
• Cumulative corrected quantity for the previous day in MMSCF.
And if an error or hold state has been detected in the previous day:
• Alarm or hold state numbers;
• Time when the error or hold state has been detected;
• Time when the end of error or hold state has been detected;
• Type of error or hold state;
• Corrected quantity during error conditions for the previous day in MMSCF as
cumulative total from begin to end of error.
4.6.12 Operating Status
The normal operating status is without an input or position frozen.
For testing and for calibrating of the computers or field instruments several inputs or
positions can be frozen from the key pad as following:
• Hold State 1
This hold state will be used for testing and/or calibration of the transmitters only.
During the hold state 1 the input signals are frozen on the last value;

VECO Doc. No. 20298-01-EJ12-005
