The Pearl GTL Project consists of two offshore platforms, associated wells and two pipelines
feeding a two-train Gas to Liquids (GTL) plant located within Ras Laffan Industrial City
(RLIC). The plant produces approximately 140, 000 bbl per day of liquid synthetic products
from natural gas when both phase 1 and 2 are in full production.
Due to the size and structure of the Pearl GTL plant, four Honeywell Experion Enterprises are
configured, corresponding to each main Operational/Plant Area; Utilities, Feed Gas Preparation,
Gas to Liquid and Liquid Processing Units. Under control of the four enterprise models are a
total of 10 Experion Communities, each consisting of Servers,
2012. Provided one to one training for operators and process control engineers on loop
and trip operation, process, tuning, MOC Impact Analysis and authorization and
implementation for plant improvement and to analyse/fix server/console issues and
report to Honeywell maintenance team for follow up.
DCS design, programming and commissioning of the EPIC Pipeline
Interconnect Project. This includes developing the Honeywell DCS TPS control strategy from
Aker Kvaerner supplied DCS functional specification and P&ID’s. Building EB files for
loading into the HPM Test Box, preparing FAT and SAT test documents, prior to FAT testing
in office for client witness, followed by commissioning on site.
