The use of sour gas as primary energy requires constant supply pressure and flow to the gas treatment plant as well as to the pipeline distribution network and consumers. During exploitation of gas fields, when the well head pressure and flow decreases, production continues at increased cost. Application of gas compression equipment is required for continuation of supply pressure and flow to the sour gas treatment plant and to customer connection flanges. The design and layout of sour gas compression equipment has to guarantee high operational availability and reliability for continuous duty. To properly select equipment for sour gas applications, including the compressor, its driver and auxiliary and ancillary systems, the specific requirements and standards have to be taken into consideration. This paper will report about a situation in the sour gas fields in the northern part of West Germany and will describe the design objectives, station layout and equipment selection for a sour gas compressor station including operating experiences.
