Greenfield Compressor Station Engineering and Design

3D model of a greenfield compressor station featuring dual compressor units, process piping, and structural supports, highlighting Halker’s engineering and design expertise in midstream infrastructure, equipment layout optimization, and new-build natural gas compression facilities.

The client required full engineering, design, and project management support for the development of a new greenfield gas gathering compressor station in Utah. The facility needed to accommodate immediate production demands while maintaining flexibility for future expansion from two to four compressor units.

Bulk Test Conversion for Sour Service CTB Facility

3D process model showing vertical vessel conversions with integrated piping and instrumentation, demonstrating Halker’s engineering expertise in bulk test modifications for sour service CTB facilities and compliance-driven upgrades to handle H₂S-rich production streams safely and efficiently.

The client required the conversion of existing Central Tank Battery (CTB) facilities into a large-scale sour service production site capable of safely managing high hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) concentrations. The project demanded a comprehensive redesign to accommodate new process equipment, integrate sour gas treatment systems, and ensure full compliance with applicable safety and regulatory standards.

Sour Gas CTB-Facility Design

Process flow diagram for a sour gas central tank battery (CTB) facility, illustrating separators, scrubbers, H₂S treatment, chemical injection systems, and flare routing, emphasizing Halker’s expertise in designing safe, compliant, and efficient sour-service production facilities.

The client required a new centralized tank battery (CTB) in the Permian Basin capable of safely handling production from multiple wells with elevated hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) concentrations. The project demanded a design that would ensure compliance with all applicable NACE sour service standards while maintaining efficient operations and accommodating future development.

Mercury Removal & Bonus Target

Process flow diagram illustrating a mercury removal system with interconnected piping, vessels, and control instrumentation, emphasizing Halker’s process engineering capabilities in contaminant mitigation, system optimization, and compliant facility design.

In 2020, a Midstream distribution company (“Client”), with nearly 10,000 miles of pipelines and over 50 terminals for refined petroleum products, approached Halker Consulting (”Halker”) for a phased project at their condensate splitter facility to increase profitability.

Fugitive Emissions Study

2D piping model with highlighted red lines showing emission pathways between storage tanks, illustrating Halker’s expertise in conducting detailed fugitive emissions studies for regulatory compliance and operational risk reduction.

The client needed to reduce or eliminate fugitive emissions from over 50 existing upstream production facilities in order to meet 40 CFR 60 OOOOa requirements with an aggressive schedule. The fugitive emission sources were both oil and water storage tanks on site.

Three Phase Separator

Horizontal three-phase separator with associated process piping, valves, and instrumentation, showcasing Halker’s oil, water, and gas separation engineering expertise and precision in designing efficient upstream production equipment.

This experienced customer came to Halker Consulting with a need to design and engineer a three phase separator for multiple wellheads in the Rocky Mountain region. The specific needs around this project were based on the need to use a centralized processing facility rather than process at the well site.

Strategic Field Development

Large oil and gas production facility with storage tanks, process equipment, and a centralized operations trailer set against open field terrain, showcasing Halker’s strategic field development expertise in planning, designing, and optimizing multi-well production sites for efficient and scalable operations.

The widespread adoption of offshore-born approaches by surface well operators in the last several years has been game changing for the U.S. oil and gas industry.
