Hydrocarbon Transportation Development
Pipeline and Processing Facilities
For more than 20 years Viking International’s management has provided engineering, procurement, construction, maintenance, and operation management services to Production Operators working in oil and natural gas fields. Our expertise in drilling and developing fields has paved the way in creating a tried and true methodology for providing infrastructure and delivery systems. Viking International is well-equipped to provide gathering, compression, processing and treating facilities for our Operating partners. We have designed and built pipelines, gas processing and treatment plants, meter stations and compression facilities in challenging and remote locations including Texas, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Colorado and on an international basis in Turkey. Projects include feasibility studies, detailed design, permitting, and construction management. Viking International’s experienced management team has built, operated and maintained over 500 miles of pipelines, 80,000 horsepower of compression facilities and 300,000mcf of gas processing and treating plants.
Project Descriptions
In 2001, Mr. Bell assumed responsibility for the operation of Riata Energy’s Pikes Peak Gas Treating Plant located in Pecos County, Texas. The 150,000 mcfd plant is designed to remove carbon dioxide from produced natural gas. Under Mr. Bell’s direction, treating capacity was increased by twenty percent and operating margins were increased by more than two hundred percent. From 2001 to 2006, Mr. Bell led in the construction and operation of more than 235 miles of natural gas pipeline and 23,000 bhp of natural gas compression within Riata Energy’s Pinon Field.
In 2003, Mr. Bell led in the acquisition of PetroSource Carbon Company, the only gatherer of anthropogenic carbon dioxide in the Permian Basin. The acquisition consisted of 200 miles of 10” pipeline and 57,000 bhp of compression. The company expanded this operation with the construction of 32 miles of 10” pipeline and 15,000 bhp of compression to connect additional treating plant sources to the system. Average throughput increased from 40,000 mcfd to 75,000 mcfd.
In 2005, Mr. Bell led in the construction and startup of a 50,000 mcfd natural gas processing and treating plant, and 40 miles of pipeline gathering in the Piceance Basin of Colorado.
In 2008-2009, Mr. Bell led in the construction and operation of 15 miles of natural gas pipeline and a 25,000 mcfd compression station in southeastern Oklahoma.
In 2009, Mr. Bell began the construction of 16 miles of pipeline gathering and a compression station rated for 25,000 mcfd in Edirne, Turkey. This project also includes the construction of a meter station and pipeline interconnection with BOTAS (the State-owned pipeline system in Turkey). This meter station is only the second such meter station constructed within the country, and the first to be done by a private company.
