6. Expert Opinion
6.1 Twister BV
Marco Betting is the Head of Technology at Twister BV. Visiongain interviewed Mr. Betting in
February 2016 and would like to thank him for his astute insights.
Twister BV was founded in 2001 as a spinoff of Shell that developed a new type of gas conditioning
technology, which was conceived a few years earlier by a company called Stork. This technology was
purchased by Shell in 1998 and after that it was being developed within Shell and launched as a
separate company known as Twister. Twister provides design, engineering and delivery of compact
reliable gas conditioning systems which do not require glycol/solvents to condition the gas.
6.1.1 Twister BV’s Involvement in the Gas Processing Industry
Visiongain: Please could you describe the work of your company and its involvement in the
gas processing industry?
Marco Betting: Twister was founded in 2001 as a spinoff of Shell that developed a new type of gas
conditioning technology, which was conceived a few years earlier by a company called Stork. This
technology was purchased by Shell in 1998 and after that it was being developed within Shell and
launched as a separate company known as Twister.
The technology is called Twister Supersonic Separator and it provides a reliable way of gas
conditioning which is traditionally done with glycol units. The Twister technology doesn’t require any
glycol or chemical to dehydrate the gas. It’s a static piece of equipment, there are no rotating parts,
and it does the dehydration and dew-pointing in one go. The technology doesn’t use glycol, saving a
lot of equipment on the facilities which are needed for regenerating the glycol. It also provides less
operational hassle than when using glycol, as the glycol will become contaminated, which need
frequent replacement. Twister eliminates all of these requirements and provides a compact process
solution for gas processing.
Twister Technology warrants the lowest Life Cycle Cost for offshore gas treatment platforms, since
the Technology consists of static equipment only and its performance does not depend on usage of
chemicals or glycols. The processing and handling of these chemicals require constant operator
attendance and intensive maintenance.
As the Oil & Gas industry will be confronted with increasing production cost in the coming decades, a
shift from ‘Maximum Treatment’ to Maximum Reliability and Profitability’ is imminent. Twister

7.1 Abu Dhabi Company for Onshore Oil Operations (ADCO)

Total Gas Processing Infrastructure Investment ($m)
2016-2026:

Market Share (%): 3%
Capacity being added (Bcf/d) 2016-2026: 1.23Bcf/d
2016-2026 Rank by Total Investments: 7th
The Abu Dhabi Company for Onshore Oil Operations (ADCO) oversees the development of onshore
and shallow offshore oil and gas fields in Abu Dhabi. The company exports from the Jebel Dhanna
and Fujairah terminals and produces mainly from eleven oil fields: Bu Hasa, Asab, Sahil, Shah, Bab,
Al Dabb'iya, Rumaitha, Shanayel, Huwaila, Qusahwira and Bida Al-Qemzan.
ADCO’s gas production comes from associated gas that is located within the oil fields that it operates.
The main field that ADCO produces gas from is the Bab field, which represents around 75 % of total
ADCO associated and non associated gas.
ADCO’s main gas processing project gas processing plant will see the construction of a 200MMcf/d
plant to process gas produced at the Al Dabbiya oil field. The Al Dabbiya field is located within the
North East Bab asset and has the capacity to produce about 110,000b/d of oil. This capacity is due to
be doubled via the third-phase expansion of the field. The planned gas processing plant is expected
to process the gas associated with this increase in oil production and supply it to Abu Dhabi’s gas
pipeline network.
