FY Field located in East Kalimantan province, with geographical form of land
sand and outcrops of coal which is the altitude in the Tarakan sub-basin.
Longitudinal axis trending Bunyu Island Northwest Southeast and broadly
coincides with the axis direction antiklinoriumBunyu.
On the surface facility fy field experience problems that hinder the process of
distribution of the produced gas. To overcome this problem needs to be inspected
the pipeline in order to know the problems that occur. Pigging is a method for
cleaning a part of the flow inside the pipe so that the pipe is not obstructed.
Before the pigging process is done needs to be done with the theoretical pressure
drop calculations using equations panhandle A. Having obtained his theoretical
calculation results followed by the calculation of the pressure drop results in the
field.
Having obtained results are compared and the pipeline is known to have excess
pressure drop then pigging activities can begin. From the existing data can be
calculated footed pig in the pipeline in order to know how long the process of
pigging runs from the launch site to pig receiver.
