But Ghana Subsea Gas Export Pipeline Project is facing a number of challenges, such as dense phase fluid with high gas pressure of 14 MPa, high static head over 1000 m, various line diameters along the pipeline route,local unavailability of nitrogen and high nitrogen cost, no slug catcher at onshore termination, and restricted FPSO working condition. So the commissioning and start-up process scheme was studied, namely, using fresh water to displace seawater, natural gas to displace fresh water, drying and separating with MEG. Software OLGA was applied to assess various issues such as flow rate, pressure, pig type and quantity, pig travel velocity. MEG temporary reclaim device and pigging ball were designed. In the practical operation, dewatering, drying and gassing-up of the entire system were car- ried out at the same time. The field application showed that the scheme was feasible.
