OIL & GAS

In the Marcellus and Utica oil and gas fields, production has grown rapidly over the past several years, and infrastructure growth has not kept pace. This is partly because pipeline projects are costly and may take several years to bring online. As a result, there is a large backlog of wells that have been drilled but won't produce until there is available infrastructure or until the price of natural gas increases. Our Galileo wellhead compressor and Virtual Pipeline system reduces the investment necessary to perform the gas gathering on geographically dispersed wells and gives the producer the possibility to sell gas directly to the consumer, skipping all intermediaries in the value chain.

APPLICATIONS

We designed a full range of systems for a variety upstream applications such as wellhead, gathering, re-injection, fuel booster, transportation.

WELLHEAD

At wellhead applications, the conditioning of the gas for the compression stage is a critical stage of the process. The Galileo Wellhead units have a system of horizontal separation with automatic drain that separates solids from liquids before entering the compression system. All the process is fully automated and can be remotely control via Galileo SCADA.

UPSTREAM VIRTUAL PIPELINE

The Virtual Pipeline coupled with the Galileo wellhead compressors is an efficient solution to the geographical dispersion of wells and makes the traditional gas gathering economically viable.

                Galileo Virtual Pipeline

Last week I went to Arcadia, CA, just 1 hour East of Los Angeles LAX airport. Galileo's HQ and its recently established US assembly plant is located here.  Over the last three weeks Galileo has been working on assembling the first two Virtual Pipelines.  When I arrived, the first set was already out in the parking lot ready to be loaded. It was an impressive sight. I spoke to Pete Grandoli, the Operations Manager at Galileo USA. I was curious to know how they were able to move the equipment out of the warehouse into the parking lot considering that 2 MATs and the frame weigh approx. 37,000 lbs. He proudly showed me his discovery, some very compact rollers, made in Germany, that allowed him to move the MATs out of the warehouse very easily. Last Friday was one of those days everybody in LA will remember for the major weather conditions with torrential rain and flash flood warnings. In the morning, a 90 ton crane arrived at Galileo's parking lot. The MATs were loaded rapidly on a flat bed and off they went to MFS HQ in West Nyack, NY. They will arrive on December 17. Soon you will see the first Galileo Virtual Pipeline around New York when MFS will start delivering CNG to its major customers owning CNG powered fleets.
