Design of Oil-Handling Systems and Facilities
* Potential Operating Problems
* Scrubbers
* Re-entrainment
* Drain systems
* Hydrocyclones
* Multiphase pumps
* Reciprocating pump operations
* Water droplet size
New figures, photos, charts, and tables consolidate hours of details into “at-a-glance” illustrations. Example problems accompany the updated text.
With this volume’s clear presentation, you will understand the basic concepts and techniques needed to DESIGN, SPECIFY, and OPERATE oilfield surface production facilities and operations.
Surface Production Operations Volume 1 carefully describes the equipment and processes commonly used in oil-water separating and treating systems. It also shows you how to select the appropriate piping and pumping systems.
With this reference in hand, you can organize the project with a better grasp of the complex parameters needed to design and operate an efficient production facility.
Contents 1. The production facility
2. Choosing a process
3. Fluid properties
4. Two-phase oil and gas separation
5. Oil and water separation
6. Crude oil treating systems
7. Produced-water treating systems
8. Pressure drop in piping
9. Choosing a line size and wall thickness
10. Pumps
11. Centrifugal pumps
12. Reciprocating pumps
13. Organizing the project
