For the Santos owned and operated Wortel field, shallow waters offshore Indonesia, there was a need to install compact inline gas/liquid separation equipment with high performance. Due to space constraints, an inline gas/liquid separator was selected. Santos implemented the ASCOM Twinline technology on the platform, which has been in operations since February 2012 and is performing very well. This is an example of rapid technology development, initiated in 2010, with performance verified over a longer period under operations.
