Natural Gas is a fossil fuel made up of 80%

to 95% methane and varying amounts of

ethane, propane, butane and other
hydrocarbon compounds and a lesser
percentage of carbon dioxide, nitrogen,
and hydrogen sulfide. There will always be
some condensate and/or oil associated
with the gas.

The Malampaya Deep Water Gas-to-
Power project represents the largest and
most significant industrial investment in the
history of the Philippines. It heralds the birth
of the countrys natural gas industry that
will enable the supply of clean,
environment-friendly fuel slated to provide
2,700 megawatts of power to Luzon for a
period of 20 years starting January 2002.

DISTRIBUTION
A wellbore is drilled
through the seabed. It
is carried out to
explore for and
subsequently extract
petroleum which lies in
rock formations
beneath the seabed. DRILL RIG

from natural gas is
needed to prevent

This is done to prevent
freeze up problems,
causing flow restriction, with
resulting consequences in
terms of plant operating
efficiency.
 The condensate is stabilised
on the topsides, stored in
the CGS and then exported
to a shuttle tanker through
a catenary anchored leg
mooring system (CALM).
CALM BUOY
 The processed gas is
compressed and exported
through a 504 km pipeline
to the Batangas onshore
facility.
Turbo Expander Compressors
Hydrogen Sulfide is
removed at the
onshore facility as a
finishing treatment
for natural gas.

Natural Gas is then
delivered to three
combined-cycle gas
turbine power plants.
