Slide 8: Pipeline expansion
Pipeline expansion Mark Fothergill General Manager Infrastructure Strategy & Engineering APA Group Investor Day 2013 15 Pipeline expansion Capacity and project registers How to get more through your assets Expansion options – Add compression – Increase maximum operating pressure – Looping a pi
Slide 9: Capacity and project registers; Expansion - add compression
Capacity and project registers Identify customer requirements including level of service flexibility Maximum Capacity determination Pressure – Pipeline modelling platforms – Validation and tuning of simulations Project cost and schedule register – Extensive knowledge of cost and scope for pipe
Slide 10: Expansion - increase pressure and looping a pipeline
Expansion ‐ increase operating pressure If the pipeline and associated facilities are Increase maximum operating pressure appropriately pressure rated, the 11000 operating pressure of the pipeline can be Increased Maximum 10000 increased Pressure 9000 PRESSURE (KPA) 8000 Example of increased press
Slide 11: In-pipe storage; Creating a bi-directional pipe
In‐pipe storage‐ swapping throughput to storage In‐pipe storage is achieved by allocation Maximum of some throughput services to a storage Maximum Pressure service Pressure Customer typically has complete flexibility over their withdrawals and in‐pipe storage level Example peaking power station:
Slide 12: Benefits of the east coast grid
Benefits of the east coast grid Roma Brisbane pipeline converted from flow control to pressure control. – Pressure control maintains a constant high pressure at Wallumbilla which results in an increase in the firm throughput capacity of the RBP Storage services can be relocated from congested pi
Slide 13: Efficient design - VIC/NSW pipeline; Gas transmission Operations
Efficient design – VIC / NSW pipeline MAOP upgrade Euroa compressor station APA Group Investor Day 2013 25 Gas transmission Operations Edwin De Prinse General Manager Transmission Operations APA Group Investor Day 2013 26
Slide 14: Gas transmission operations: Understanding the scale
Gas transmission operations Scale of our operations What it takes to manage and operate a pipeline Operating the east coast grid APA Group Investor Day 2013 27 Understanding the scale 0.415GJ or 0.000415TJ APA Group Investor Day 2013 28
Slide 15: Understanding the scale
Understanding the scale (Dandenong LNG = 750 tankers) 0.8TJ X 2,000 1 LNG tanker = 16 tonnes APA Group Investor Day 2013 29 Understanding the scale In VIC on a cold day, up to 1,200TJ/day is transported through our pipelines As much as 1,600 LNG tankers or 3 million BBQ bottles per day APA Gro
Slide 16: Understanding the scale; Compressors
Understanding the scale In QLD on the RBP we can deliver over 220 TJ/day over 275 LNG tankers driving into Brisbane APA Group Investor Day 2013 31 Compressors Increase the throughput and capacity of pipelines 300 kW compressors at Iona 9,860 KW units being installed at Moomba and Wallumbilla
Slide 17: Compressors; What it takes to operate a pipeline
Compressors Each Moomba compressor unit has the horsepower of 50 Falcons or Commodores per unit 3 new compressors at Moomba, has the combines horsepower of 150 Falcons or Commodores APA Group Investor Day 2013 33 What it takes to operate a pipeline Capital intensive business For every $100
Slide 18: SIB capex; Maintenance
SIB capex Pipeline SIB budget is for – Aged or worn out components – Parts where spares are no longer available – Upgrade older control systems – Corrosion protection equipment – Plant and motor vehicles – Pigging and pipeline inspection Typically older pipelines require more SIB capex APA Group
Slide 19: Control Room; Pipeline maintenance
Control Room Control rooms operate and oversee the pipelines Plant and Equipment – Start and stop compressors – Manage flows – Monitor alarms – Initiate response – Manage line pack and metering issues Personnel – Issue Field Work Permits – Oversee travel in outback areas – Field maintenance in
Slide 20: In-line inspection and repair; Emergency response
