Yucatan Peninsula Gas Pipeline

The system includes receipt, measurement, and control equipment at the receipt station, as well as block valves, pig launchers and receivers, cathodic protection, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), leak-detection systems, maintenance facilities, warehouse, and a control center at the first compressor station.

 

The custody-transfer measurement station is installed just outside the interconnection with PGPB at Ciudad Pemex.

 

Gas filtration, preheating, regulating, and measurement facilities are installed adjacent to the new Merida III plant, which was constructed, for both Merida III and the existing Merida II power plant.

 

Measurement stations were installed at Valladolid for the existing combined-cycle plant in Campeche and for one other new plant. Other new stations were connected at Lerma (Campeche), Nachicocom (Merida), and Valladolid II.

 

The system included launchers and receivers able to run pigs between all compressor station sites and the line terminus.

 

Intermediate block valves are located at approximately 20-mile intervals along the line, equipped with automatic closure capability that uses line-pressure sensing.

 

Measurement and control of the system uses satellite-based communication for the SCADA system, linking the receipt and delivery stations and the compressor-station information.
