The project is expected to begin producing 100,000 barrels of oil per day in late 2012. It has the potential to produce up to 345,000 barrels a day with future expansions, helping to offset declines in conventional oil production and meet North America’s energy demands for many years to come.
Dresser Masoneilan will provide steam pressure reducing valves, desuperheaters and associated equipment required for the project’s steam conditioning and turbine bypass systems. The company will also supply operational service and support for the life of the mines.
The company claimed that its SteamForm conditioning stations will ensure the ongoing operation of the plant by delivering proper steam pressure and temperature control to critical systems while also providing steam turbine protection in the event of an emergency shut-down or maintenance.
Dresser Masoneilan offers a line of steam conditioning valves for applications that require both pressure and temperature reduction in an integrated package.
Dresser Masoneilan said that its control valve suppliers can comply with the full scope of products required for conventional and unconventional oil production. The company provides customers with technical expertise and support at the local level through its global network of fully equipped aftermarket centers.
