XTO Energy - Kaybob
Gas Liquids Engineering Ltd. (GLE) provided EPCM services for numerous upgrades and expansions to XTO’s existing sour Kaybob Gas Plant near Fox Creek, Alberta.
The first expansion was completed in 2015 and involved the installation of a new Inlet Separator and a new In-line Heater to debottleneck the facility and allow for the increased condensate flow of 6445 bbl/d.
The second expansion was completed in 2016 and involved the installation of an upgraded reboiler skid that allows easier access and periodical removal of the fouled reboiler from service for maintenance/replacement and cleaning.
The third expansion is currently underway and involves increasing the plant gas processing capacity from 100 MMSCF/d to 150 MMSCF/d, and condensate processing capacity from 6445 bbl/d to 20000 bbl/d. The third expansion was completed in May 2019. The following new equipment was installed:
