Post shutdown optimization
Learn how operational adjustments from Shape Aura led to reduction in energy consumption, improving overall gas plant efficiency.
On August 27th, 2024, the plant experienced a shutdown. Once the plant stabilized on August 30th, 2024, Shape Aura issued recommendation #169 to adjust Main B and Reinjection to a more optimal operating point.
On September 1st, 2024, the operational adjustments outlined in recommendation #169 were initiated, and the implementation was confirmed as complete on September 4th, 2024.
Main B flawless implementation; Power Main B achieved savings
Reinj implementation with a deviation on the discharge cooler temperature; Power Reinj achieved savings; the savings could have been greater if not for the temperature issue
For Main A, while the recommendation did not require any adjustments to this compressor, the operational team experienced issues with its Ps, resulting in an unexpected increase in Main A’s power consumption.
​
Despite this, the results indicate that recommendation #169 from Shape Aura contributed to overall energy improvements in the unit's gas plant. The recommendation led to an average energy consumption reduction.
