PROJECT EXPERIENCE
Keota Cryogenic & LNG Processing Facility
Keota Cryogenic & LNG Processing Facility
Client:
Noble Energy
Location:
Colorado
Project Summary:
Audubon provided engineering, procurement, and construction management (EPCM), fabrication, and commissioning and start-up services for Noble Energy’s Keota liquefied natural gas (LNG) project. This was the first LNG plant in Colorado and one of the largest gas processing facilities in the state.
The LNG project included associated plant utilities and infrastructure, including condensate stabilization, inlet compression, amine treating, cryogenic natural gas liquids (NGL) recovery, product storage, and propane refrigeration. The modular processing units were fabricated and tested in our Houston facility, then shipped to the site for installation. Taurus solar power generation units were also designed for 8 megawatt sand installed as the primary power source with buy-back capabilities to the grid.
Project Overview:
- 45 MMSCFD greenfield gas processing facility
- Inlet gas processed to produce a truckable condensate, pipeline quality sales gas
