PROJECT: Bretana Development
COMPANY: Gran Tierra Energy Inc.
LOCATION: Loreto, Peru
Acero was responsible for providing technical direction to the EPC contractor for a 20,000 BPD EPF, completing PFDs and P&IDs for a 2,500 BPD EPF, project management consulting and reviewing all major deliverables.
Well production for 18.6 degree API oil produced naturally, then moved to jet pump artificial lift system sized for a capacity of 4,000 BPD of total fluids. Produced fluids driven by the jet pump were directed to a two phase separator in order to remove associated gas which was sent to a flare, while production water was designed to be stored in tanks. Production was either transported on barges or injected into a sump pit.
