I would like to pursue as quickly as possible the option of adding the cool=
ers to get the incremental 10,000/d. Please proceed with developing a more = exact cost estimate and determining from a materials standpoint what the t= iming of the project might be. Thanks. =09Steve -----Original Message----- From: =09Matthews, Ron =20 Sent:=09Wednesday, January 16, 2002 1:42 PM To:=09Harris, Steven; Watson, Kimberly; Lindberg, Lorraine; Asante, Ben; Al= ters, Dennis; Keller, John R. Cc:=09Eisenstein, Arnold L.; Centilli, James Subject:=09San Juan Expansion Options - Small Volume Marketing requested Planning to review any and all possibilities to achieve= small volume expansions through the San Juan lateral. Several facility sc= enarios were investigated by Planning which are in the attached Excel sprea= dsheet. Most if not all are too costly to justify installing. However, th= ere is another option that is not listed in the attached that was a late en= try. Discussions with Engineering have determined that by cooling the inle= t air to the turbines would increase the available horsepower. That in tur= n would increase the station's overall throughput. Preliminary studies ind= icate that approximately 10 MMcf/d of additional throughput could be realiz= ed if inlet air cooling is installed. The + 30% estimate for two units wou= ld be $600,000. BIG bargain compared to the options in the attached file. = The facility installation is not a major job but the FERC approval to util= ize additional horsepower could take 6 - 9 months. Other considerations to= review would be the air quality permit for the increase in horsepower, and= potential environmental clearances to do construction. Let me know what y= ou think about this suggestion. Please feel free to call. Ron Matthews << File: SJLEXP01.XLS <<
