IPC - Suffield N2N ASP Injection Plant

Gas Liquids Engineering Ltd. (GLE) provided engineering services for the completion and commissioning of an Alkali Surfactant Polymer (ASP) injection plant at their CFB Suffield base located North of Medicine Hat, Alberta. The ASP facility will allow enhanced oil recovery (EOR) of the Original Oil In Place (OOIP).

The facility will produce 400 to 1600 m³/d of ASP water and pipeline the solution off-lease using four injection pumps rated at 100-400 m³/d each, with provisioning for a fifth pump to be installed in the future to enable injection to additional wells.

The facility was partially completed in 2015 before the facility was mothballed. GLE’s scope of work included:

Completion of the installation of equipment including a number of minor deficiencies that were not closed out before the project was mothballed
Installation of electrical equipment and programming
Commissioning and startup
