Wellsites & Field Facilities

Equinox has designed and installed thousands of wellheads, wellhead tie-ins and wellhead flowlines, gathering systems, trunk and group lines as well as field facilities (including compression, dehydration & refrigeration). Our experience includes unconventional wellsite design with 12-18 wells per pad. For wellsite tie-ins, Equinox will provide the expertise required to specify, size and utilize the appropriate equipment including separators, wet and dry meter skids, in-line heaters, condensate pump skids, methanol injection pumps and storage tanks, corrosion inhibitor pumps & storage tanks, PSV’s, flare knock out drums and flare stacks as needed.

Tupper Wellsites

FEED & Detail Design for Montney unconventional wellpad program (each with 8 to 12 expandable wellheads. Program includes several hundred kilometers of sales pipelines, trunk lines and gathering lines.

A typical wellpad includes a group separator (with metering package and test separator), line heaters, a temporary rental well sand separator, an HP flare stack & knock-out drum, an RTU/TEG skid (incl. communication) and chemical tanks and pumps (inhibitor and methanol).

Ojay Sour Wellsites & Dehydration Facility (30 TJ/d)

Equinox provided FEED and Detail Design for mole sieve dehydration facility (30 TJ/d at 20% H2S, 7% CO2), as well as sour (10 TJ/d at 20% H2S) wellsites (with line heaters), along with 5 km of sweet fuel gas pipeline and 3 sour gas process lines.

Coleville South - Sour Emulsion Wellsites & Gathering Systems

Multiple EPCM projects for existing and new wells to be flowlined to new satellite, including emulsion groupline and water groupline. Wells producing both emulsion and casing vent gas. Individual programs include Section 3 (6 existing and 6 new emulsion wells), Section 32 (9 wells, 3 water injection wells and 1 disposal well) Section 5/8 (7 emulsion and 3 water injection) – with each area tied into new satellite. Equipment incl. wellsite pipeline, main group line, satellite with emulsion inlet header, metering.

Loverna - Sour Emulsion Wellsites & Gathering Program

EPCM project to tie-in eleven (11) sour emulsion (13° API) sites, and six (6) sour casing vent gas (CVG) producing locations via separate gathering systems.

Brintnell Polymer Flood Wellpads

The CNRL Brintnell Polymer Program has involved over fifty (50) individual projects in northern Alberta throughout the Brintnell regions. Each project included a single pad site consisting of one to 12 wells, where typically half of the wells were polymer injection wells. These sites also included (but not limited to) the following equipment Tank Farm, Compressor Station, Pump Station, Coriolis Meters and Turbine Meters.

Sylvan Lake Sour Oil Projects

Multiple EPCM projects including a large program (34 projects) of sour oil projects for all Alberta Clipper facilities in the Sylvan Lake area including the primary Sour Oil Battery (5000 bbl/d oil & 5000 bpd water), four main Satellites and the related gathering system and pipelines. The H2S content of the oil being processed varies from 2% to 26%.

The projects involved sour oil well tie-ins, existing satellite upgrades and expansions, pipeline design (sour oil, water and gas) and installation, modifications and upgrades to the existing central battery that included flare system upgrades, low pressure tank vapour system modifications, water injection system upgrades and compression troubleshooting.

Glidden Oil Battery Gathering & Distribution System

EPCM emulsion (13°API) and Casing Vent Gas (CVG) gathering system project for 24 wells including 4 separator satellites. Project includes HP standing gas gathering pipelines, source water gathering pipeline, produced water injection system, Emulsion Gathering (including well site to satellite pipeline, satellite to Glidden battery group pipelines, and test satellites), Casing Vent Gas (CVG) Gathering (including well site to satellite pipeline, satellite to Glidden battery group pipelines, and test satellites).

Pembina Battery & Waterflood FEED

FEED project to evaluate the replacement and upgrade of oil treating and water injection facilities that include the installation of a free water knock-out vessel, sales emulsion treater, inlet header/test separator package, water injection pumps, a fresh water filtration system, pump building, tankage, a VRU, solution gas compressor, and office/control building /w HMI/PLC/MCC. Eighteen (18) wells to tie-in to test separators. Satellite facilities each include group inlet header, test separator, drain tank, pop tank, RTU.

Cadotte Water Disposal Facility

EPCM water disposal facility project including 2 x 1000 bbl tanks, one new water disposal pump package (to overcome stabilized wellhead pressure of 3650 kPag) and water disposal pipeline.

Pelican Lake Polymer Flood Wellpads

EPCM projects for fifteen (15) water flood and polymer flood wellpads for Cenovus in the Pelican region, including the conversion of various well pads to water injection and the implementation of polymer injection for enhanced oil recovery.

Equinox delivers industry leading expertise in cost-effective wellpad and wellsite design for any type of application.
