The immediate product extracted from oil and gas wells consists of mixtures of oil, gas, and water that is difficult to transport, requiring a certain amount of field processing. This reference analyzes principles and procedures related to the processing of reservoir fluids for the separation, handling, treatment, and production of quality petroleum oil and gas products. It details strategies in equipment selection and system design, field development and operation, and process simulation and control to increase plant productivity and safety and avoid losses during purification, treatment, storage, and export. Providing guidelines for developing efficient and economical treatment systems, the book features solved design examples that demonstrate the application of developed design equations as well as review problems and exercises of key engineering concepts in petroleum field development and operation.
This book describes oilfield processing and handling of natural gas in a direct, easy-to-follow format. Process descriptions, design methods, operating procedures and troubleshooting are covered in detail. This hands-on reference...

Oil and Gas Production Handbook: An Introduction to Oil and Gas Production
It should be stressed that in the original method of Carson and Katz (1942) it is assumed that nitrogen is a nonhydrate former and that n-butane, if present in mole fractions less than 5%, has the same equilibrium constant as ethane.
The book includes: Basic information of oil and gas treatment, including process calculations.Gas properties, gas calculations, and process vessel sizing and selection.Operation and design of separators, heater treaters, desalters, ...
This book addresses new challenges in the market and brings new tactics to the forefront.
If the H2S content is above 5 mol%, the “recycle mode” Selectox process can be used, where the cooled gas is recycled from the first condenser outlet to maintain the Selectox converter temperature at about 700 F (Gowdy and Bertram, ...
