Chevron, Thailand

A tropical climate solution

At the end of 2007 Bornemann equipped an unmanned well head platform in the Gulf of Thailand with a Multiphase Pump System.

The Bornemann Multiphase Technology was the perfect solution for the Surat-A platform because in comparison to conventional technology Multiphase Pumps require less of the restricted space.

The MPP-System is a gas engine driven unit and it contains special features to meet local requirements. An hydraulic system driven by the gas engine as well provide power to all auxiliaries as there is no external power available on such unmanned platforms.

Thailand‘s tropical climate posed further challenges for the engine and the MPP-System as well  which were solved successfully by Bornemann. The on-skid control system is suitable for installation in hazardous zone and all components are installed to allow easy relocation to other platforms after depletion of wells.
