联合能源法哈油田中央处理厂脱乙烷塔吊装成功Successful Lifting of The Deethanizer Tower
法哈油田中央处理厂一期油包工程庆典刚落幕不久，整个油田还沉浸在欢乐喜悦的气氛中，现场团队便马不停蹄迎来另一项新的挑战——中央处理厂一期气包工程。2024年8月6日，法哈油田中央处理厂一期气包工程脱乙烷塔成功安装。
Following the recent commissioning of the Faihaa Oilfield Central Processing Facility (CPF), the energy remains persistent as the project team embarks on the next major challenge: the CPF Gas Project. On 6 August 2024, the Deethanizer tower at the Faihaa Oilfield CPF gas project was successfully lifted.
吊装前准备
Heavy Lifting Preparation
当地时间17时，油田天然气处理厂施工现场呈现出一派热火朝天、井然有序的繁忙景象。一台600吨重的履带吊车，带着高耸的吊臂缓缓移动、稳步就位，一台200吨的履带吊车也已蓄势待发，随时准备响应指令。
At 5 PM Iraq time, all focus was on lifting the Deethanizer tower, a critical piece of equipment in natural gas processing. Leading the charge, a 600-ton crawler crane named ”Terex” was mobilized, its formidable boom commanding the site. On standby, a 200-ton auxiliary crane was ready to provide critical support.
在众多吊机的协同作业下，一座庞然大物——脱乙烷塔（Deethanizer）即将吊装到指定位置。这座全长42.8米、重达237吨的塔器，不仅是整个中央处理厂（CPF）装置区内最高最重的单体设备，更是未来天然气处理流程中的关键一环。
The construction site of the gas processing plant was a hive of activity. The imposing column, standing 42.8 meters tall and weighing 237 tons, is the largest and heaviest installation within the CPF. The stage for the task was carefully set.
随着准备工作的推进，夜幕悄然降临，场地灯光亮起。600吨主吊钢丝绳被稳妥地固定在预设吊点上，200吨辅吊钢丝绳则紧紧连接在塔器尾端。19点18分，随着指挥员一声令下，两台吊机配合默契、同时发力，缓缓地将脱乙烷塔从底座吊起。当塔器升至一定高度后，主吊开始起钩，辅吊则前进拖尾，两者在指挥的精准调度下，协同将塔器逐渐扶正。
As dusk settled and the site’s lights cast a glow over the area, the team executed their preparations with precision. The 600-ton crane's steel wire ropes were expertly secured at designated lift points, while the 200-ton crane was geometrically positioned at the tower's aft to ensure perfect alignment. At exactly 7:18 PM, the operation began. Both cranes worked in synchrony, lifting the Deethanizer tower from its support. Once the tower reached the required height, the main crane took over the full load, and the auxiliary crane carefully maneuvered the tower to a vertical position, ensuring precise positioning.
随后，所有负载平稳地转移至主吊，辅吊则顺利解除钢丝绳。接着，主吊继续按照既定路线，将已扶正的脱乙烷塔成功安装。全程吊装历时5个小时，现场各方团队高效协同，施工人员配合默契，整个过程行云流水、一气呵成。这一刻，不仅标志着脱乙烷塔吊装作业的圆满成功，也预示着法哈油田天然气处理厂建设迈出关键一步。
The main crane then executed the final phase, installing the Deethanizer tower in its designated spot. The entire operation, completed in just five hours, demonstrated the precision and synergy of the on-site teams, marking a significant milestone in the CPF Gas Project journey.
目前，中央处理厂气包工程的整体进度已达82%。该项目自4月起，因伊拉克清关政策变动而遭遇挑战，大量设备与材料滞留港口，无法及时清关入场，项目进度严重滞后。
With this successful lift, the CPF Gas Project has reached an 82% completion rate. However, the journey has not been without its challenges. Since April, the project faced considerable delays due to changes in Iraq’s customs policies, which held up crucial equipment and materials at the port. These logistical disruptions posed a serious threat to the project’s timeline.
面对困境，项目组迎难而上，根据设备预计到场时间，同时制定详细计划、高效调配资源。在设备集中抵达后的一个月内，迅速完成40个撬块及78台设备的安装，有效拓宽配管、电仪等部件的工作面，为下一步施工的开展创造良好条件。
In response, the project team implemented a contingency plan and made necessary adjustments to keep the project on schedule. By altering their plans based on the revised equipment arrival schedules, they swiftly installed 40 skids and 78 pieces of equipment within a month, setting the stage for subsequent work on piping, electrical systems, and instrumentation.
脱乙烷塔的成功吊装，是联合能源伊拉克法哈油田中央处理厂气包项目的重要里程碑之一。法哈油田项目组将全力以赴，确保完成各项施工任务，顺利实现2024年底投产目标，为伊拉克能源产业优化升级和法哈油田高质量发展谱写全新篇章。
Getting the Deethanizer tower in place isn’t just a win on the specs sheet; it’s proof of our grit and expertise in handling high-stakes lifts and getting the job done right. It represents a significant leap forward in the CPF Gas Project’s construction schedule. The team is focused on wrapping up all construction and achieving first gas by the end of 2024. This achievement doesn’t just boost the Faihaa Oilfield’s performance—it’s a game-changer for Iraq’s energy sector and reflects UEG’s commitment to Iraq.
