Dana Gas will conduct major maintenance and tie-in work on its El Wastani Plant in Egypt. The maintenance and enhancement project will start on February 28 and will be shut in for approximately two weeks.
During the two-week maintenance period, Dana will work on a major facility and equipment upgrade as it aims to expand its production output capacity by 40 Mmscf/d, taking capacity to 200 Mmscf/d, which represents a 25% increase.
Following the shutdown, the additional capacity will allow increased production from the Salama/Tulip, Faraskur, and South Abu El Naga fields via a new pipeline tie-in. In addition, the scheduled maintenance work including modifications, modernization and de-bottlenecking will assist in enhancing plant life.
Dr. Mark Fenton, Dana Gas Egypt GM, said: “A scheduled shutdown of the El Wastani facility for capacity enhancement and maintenance was planned as soon as we had received permission to commercialize the new fields. It is a necessary work and the tie-in of the new wells along with the maintenance program ensures that the plant is also fully upgraded prior to new wells coming on stream during the year. The result will see our production rise by 6,650 boepd and is in line with our stated ambition of increasing production to meet the local demand.”
