Project Specs

Date Completed: February 2024
Estimated Commissioned Date: Mid 2025
Equipment: Two stage VRU Compressor

Description

Reagan Power & Compression, LLC (RPC) was contracted to provide engineering, design, fabrication, and packaging of two-stage modularized VRU to be installed on a FPU in Gulf of Mexico in water depth at 6,900 feet.

Design Conditions

Due to space limitations the unit had to undergo an extensive modular design. Each stage of compression was installed on its own individual structural skid with an upper deck spanning both compressor skids which consisted of heat exchangers and process valves. A separate module consisted of scrubbers and oil separators. This design approach allowed for easier shipping and installation on the Top Sides deck of the FPU.
