Oil Well
¾Oil, Gas, Water, Emulsions, Solids
¾High Pressure or Low Pressure
¾Maintain produced gas at pipeline pressure –
minimize compression
¾ High Pressure Multi-Stage Gas separation &
pressure step-down prior to free water knock out
@ atmospheric
¾Solids settle out, gas is recovered and liquids
flow on
¾Free water knock out occurs by Gravity
segregation with baffles

Oil Wells
¾Gas exits at top of separator
¾Oil & Emulsion off the top of Salt water
¾Salt water stored and treated for
disposal
¾Oil and emulsion move onto “Heater
Treater” to break emulsion
¾Oil to Pipeline and “created gas” is
dehydrated & compressed for pipeline

Emulsion Breaking
Apply Heat
¾(problem – lowers API, produces gas)
¾Reduces µ, coalesces water droplets
Inject Detergent Chemicals
¾Weakens interfacial tension
Apply Electric Potential
¾Charges water droplets- coalescence
Retention & Settling Tanks
¾Time to settle and break down

Natural Gas Processing
Extraction of “Heavies” from “Wet Gas”
Prior to Transport
¾ Natural Gas Liquids (NGLs) – condense in pipeline
− Gasoline Feedstock
¾ Water – condense in pipeline (ice & hydrates)
− Dispose of correctly
¾ Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) – condense in pipeline
− Propane & Butane
− Bottled Gas, Petrochemical & Refinery Feedstock's
Ethane – Petrochemical Feedstock
Methane – sold in BTUs
H2S – corrosive yields Sulphur
CO2 – corrosive – EOR Miscible floods

Natural Gas Processes
Compression – to pipeline pressure
¾ Condenses NGLs & LPG
Absorption – Contactor “Bubble Tower”
¾ All LPG , some ethane recovered
Cryogenic – “High Pressure Gas Expansion”
¾ Maximum Ethane Recovery
Sweetening “Sour Gases”
¾ removes H2S, CO2
Dehydration – removes water vapour
¾ Glycol or Solid Desiccant
