Conventional Oil Production

Equinox has extensive experience with conventional oil production projects including wellsites (single or multiple well pads) pipeline gathering system, satellite gathering points ultimately transported to main battery processing sites. Equinox expertise in conventional oil production includes (but is not limited to):

  • Wellsite oil / water / gas / solids separation
  • Gathering systems
  • Oil Satellite and Battery design
  • Inlet manifold / test separator
  • Free Water Knock Out (FWKO)
  • Emulsion Treaters
  • Crude Stabilization
  • Multiphase metering
  • Desanding and Sand Disposal
  • Water Injection Facilities
  • Water Treatment
  • Storage Facilities
  • LACT Units
  • Vapour Recovery Unit (VRU)
  • Pipeline and Pump Station facilities
  • Facility Modification, Optimization and Consolidation

Conventional Oil Production Projects

Battle Creek Heavy Oil Battery & Water Handling Facility (40,000 bpd)

glidden conventnional oil project
Rainbow Lake

Equinox designed and installed this new 6500 m3/day (41,000 bbl/day) oil battery in southern Saskatchewan, with 95% water cut that produced 2050 bbl/d of oil. The oil was 10.6 API with associated sour gas of 4% H2S. The plant design includes free water knock out (FWKO), heat exchanger, oil treater, oil tankage, water tankage, pop tank, recycle pumps, 600 hp water injection pump, flare knockout drums.

Glidden Heavy Oil Battery, Water Handling and Gathering System

This successful EPCM project executed by Equinox included a new 1,400 m3/d (8,600 bbl/day) heavy oil battery, 87% water cut, 13° API oil with associated sweet solution gas (0 ppm H2S) and an infrastructure for gathering and tie-in of 23 oil wells feeding into the plant.

Rainbow Lake Oil Battery (1000 bbl/d) & Gas Processing Train (10 MMscfd)

This successful EPCM project executed by Equinox included a complete oil battery & gas processing facility with accompanying wellsite and pipeline work in the Rainbow Lake area. The project included 3 wellsites tied into the plant facilities. Each wellsite required 3” pipelines (for oil and sour associated gas) and 4” pipelines (for sour non-associated gas) going to the plant, as well as 2” sweet fuel gas lines from the plant back to the wellsites. Lineheaters for each site were also part of the entire scope. From the plant site a 6” sour, dehydrated gas & condensate liquid pipeline was constructed to tie into the 3rd party facilities. Another 2” sweet fuel gas line returned into the plant. The plant site design and construction included inlet separation, oil test separator, non-associated gas test separator, sales gas compression, dehydration, recycle gas compression, condensate & oil storage tanks, high-pressure flare knock-out and incinerator. Equinox also completed the overall PLC / SCADA design and programming.
