Gavião Belo Natural Gas Production Station has the potential to be the second largest in the Parnaíba Basin and will have connections with Eneva's Gas Treatment Unit (UTG)

Eneva hired Radix to develop the project – Gavião Belo Natural Gas Production Station, in the Parnaíba Basin (MA). At the moment, several studies and simulation of the process and sizing of the main equipment are being carried out. The company, specialized in technology and engineering, has been a partner of Eneva for about six years and has been participating in several projects to serve the Complexo do Parnaíba in Maranhão and Campo de Azulão, in Silves – Amazonas.

The Gavião Belo field has the potential to be the second largest field in the Parnaíba Basin

To provide the necessary infrastructure for the project and dimension the interconnection pipelines of the units clusters with the Gavião Belo Natural Gas Production Station, Radix is ​​carrying out a series of process simulation studies and sizing of the main equipment. The Gavião Belo field has the potential to be the second largest field in the Parnaíba Basin, with an estimated Pmean volume of 6,78 billion cubic meters of natural gas.

“At the moment we are in a conceptual phase of the project, in which the objective is to provide the inputs necessary for the development of the field. We are carrying out process studies to dimension the main equipment and pipelines, and consequently defining the layout of the new plant to confirm the physical space needed to implement this unit, which includes separation systems, condensate stabilization, condensate storage, measurement systems, loading islands, water collection, effluent treatment unit, in addition to electrical systems and control”, explains Augusto Castro, manager of capital projects at Radix's oil and gas unit.

Gavião Belo will have connections with Eneva's Gas Treatment Unit (UTG)

Gavião Belo will have connections with Eneva's Gas Treatment Unit (UTG), located in Santo Antônio dos Lopes-MA, to which all gas produced from Parque dos Gaviões is directed. In addition, backup connections are already planned for other wells or fields. On the edge of the MA-362 highway, the plant for the new field is the most isolated from the UTG, around 120km away, which creates an additional logistical challenge.

“The entire control system of the new unit will be integrated with the Gas Treatment Unit located in Santo Antonio dos Lopes-MA, allowing remote monitoring of Gavião Belo. Radix, with its vast experience in developing projects for Eneva, will maintain the current operating philosophy of the other units, observing this new logistical factor in relation to the distance of this new unit from UTG. This unit will be located in an optimized space and will have differentials in infrastructure, also allowing autonomy for the operational teams that will work there,” says Augusto.

Parnaíba Complex is one of the largest natural gas thermal power generation parks in Brazil

The Parnaíba Complex is one of the largest natural gas thermal power generation parks in Brazil and the pioneering undertaking of the Reservoir-to-Wire (R2W) model in the country. Power generation by thermoelectric plants is supplied directly from natural gas fields developed and operated by Eneva, located near the park

The Parnaíba Complex comprises the Parnaíba I, Parnaíba II, Parnaíba III and Parnaíba IV plants, with two projects under development: Parnaíba V – in the final construction phase – and Parnaíba VI. All energy generated is sent to the National Interconnected System (without). With this, Eneva plays an important role in the transition of the Brazilian energy matrix, offering energy from a flexible, economical and efficient fuel. In addition to the Parnaíba Basin, where Radix developed several projects for Eneva, Radix also worked on the engineering project for the Azulão field, in the Amazonas Basin.
