Breitburn Santa Fe Springs Blocks 400/700 Upgrade Project

Breitburn Santa Fe Springs Blocks 400/700 Upgrade Project

The proposed project would upgrade and augment the fluid (e.g., oil, gas, and water) handling systems at the Breitburn Santa Fe Springs Facilities within the Santa Fe Springs Oil Field. The existing systems used to handle produced fluids are currently operating near the maximum capacity. The proposed Project would provide additional capacity to accommodate existing well production capacity and potential increases in fluid production from future well drilling. The scope of the Project is divided into three components that are covered by three SCAQMD permit applications: 1) a new oil/water/gas processing plant in the 400 Block allowing the processing of up to an additional 4,000 barrels of oil per day, 196,000 barrels per day of produced water, and 2 million standard cubic feet per day of produced gas; 2) an upgrade to the existing truck loading system in the 700 Block to increase the volume of oil that could be transported from the site via trucks; and 3) replacement of the existing produced gas flare system in the 400 Block with a low-emission burner and addition of up to three other identical burners.
