DR Congo: using associated gas at coastal Lower Congo blocks, choosing between skid liquefaction and CCHP

Gas use around coastal Lower Congo blocks is shifting from flaring to on-site conversion, lifting processing and power demand near Muanda; the choice starts from the gas curve and composition, not from unit size.

DR Congo: using associated gas at coastal Lower Congo blocks, choosing between skid liquefaction and CCHP

Key points

  • Associated and scattered well gas in DR Congo is moving from flaring to on-site conversion, raising processing, liquefaction and power demand around coastal Lower Congo blocks.
  • Skid liquefaction and CCHP are the two common combinations: the first turns gas into LNG that is easier to move and sell, the second supplies power and heat directly to drilling pads, processing stations and gathering facilities.
  • Before deciding, verify the gas curve, composition and site conditions, especially sulphur, water content and pressure swings; sizing for the lowest stable flow rather than the peak is the safer basis.

This note offers a configuration approach and promises no payback period or output; the actual scheme follows gas test reports and environmental and safety approvals in DR Congo.
