PRODUCTION FACILITIES
The oil/gas produced in oil fields must be delivered clean to be sent to a certain transportation system; for this, operational flow stations are designed. At GAS PROCESS we have experience in the design of flow stations for oil/gas conditioning.
The fundamental objective of the flow stations in production operations is to separate the Well fluids into their three main components: oil, gas, and water, at the optimum pressures, for subsequent treatment.
The typical treatment in a flow station is carried out by the operation of a series of sub-processes of separation, dewatering, storage, pumping, etc. The process begins with the collection of crude oil through the production manifold, which is made up of one or more production heads and a test head.
Once collected in the multiple tubes, the crude oil is sent to the separation stage where a specific liquid level is retained for a certain time under controlled conditions of pressure and temperature, to separate the lighter hydrocarbons from the lighter ones heavy.
Upon exiting this stage, the crude goes to dehydration, where the heater system raises its inlet temperature under a heat transfer process, to achieve a more effective separation between oil and water. As it moves through the system, the crude reaches the tank yard where it initially passes to a separate tank for oil and water, known as a washing tank, and from there it passes to the storage tanks.
At GAS PROCESS, we handle and design each of the components of a flow station according to your needs:
- Oil&Gas manifolds
- Pipelines
- Separators
- Heaters or boilers
- Tanks
- Pumps
