A Case Study featuring “Texsteam”

Richmount Petroleum Ltd. was re-commissioning a natural gas well that laid dormant for a number of years near the Alberta town of Indus, about 20 km southeast of Calgary. It’s a high pressure, high yield natural gas well that requires large volumes of Methanol pumped into three areas of the site to run properly.

Richmount was faced with a challenge. They did not want to place traditional pneumatic chemical pumps at their site for a variety of reasons; the old style pumps vent natural gas from the well into the atmosphere (an environmental pollutant which contravenes Richmount’s environmental policies) - natural gas which could be sold to Richmount’s benefit. Secondly, the well contained H2S (sour gas) requiring Richmount to use propane to run the pneumatic style chemical pumps – an expensive operational cost for a high pressure natural gas well.

Syntech Enerflex presented a simple solution to the challenge: A Texsteam Solar Intelligent Chemical Injection Pump (ICIP) system was the perfect match for Richmount’s requirements. In addition Syntech provided a solar powered pumping package when they discovered there was no electrical power at the site.

Syntech is the exclusive distributor in Canada for the Texsteam line of chemical pumps and their Solar ICIP solution was the perfect fit for all of Richmount’s requirements. It consisted of six 130 Watt Solar Panels, 9 deep cycle gel batteries, a Texsteam Solid State Control Unit and two chemical pumps – one pumping directly into the tubing section of the well and the second pump utilizing a flow divider to allow it to pump both into the casing section of the well and to the flow line or pipeline that is on site.

Incidentally, Richmount was transitioning the well site from a separator skid to a new ‘wet’ metering skid and control system at the time of the re-commissioning. Syntech’s expertise in Electrical and Instrumentation meant that they could service both of Richmount Petroleum’s applications simultaneously – helping them to reduce downtime and improve productivity.
