Oil or gas wells produce a mixture of hydrocarbon gas, condensate, or oil; water with dissolved minerals, usually including a large amount of salt; other gases, including nitrogen, carbon dioxide (CO2), and possibly hydrogen sulfide (H2S); and solids, including sand from the reservoir, dirt, scale, and corrosion products from the tubing. For the hydrocarbons (gas or liquid) to be sold, they must be separated from the water and solids, measured, sold, and transported by pipeline, truck, rail, or ocean tanker to the user. Gas is usually restricted to pipeline transportation but can also be shipped in pressure vessels on ships, trucks, or railroad cars as compressed natural gas or converted to a liquid and sent as a liquefied natural gas (LNG). This chapter discusses the field processing required before oil and gas can be sold. The goal is to produce oil that meets the purchaser's specifications that define the maximum allowable water, salt, or other impurities. Similarly, the gas must be processed to meet purchaser's water vapor and hydrocarbon dewpoint specifications to limit condensation during transportation. The produced water must meet regulatory requirements for disposal in the ocean if the wells are offshore, reservoir requirements for injection into an underground reservoir to avoid plugging the reservoir, and technical requirements for other uses, such as feed to steam boilers in thermal-flood operations, or in special cases, for irrigation. The equipment between the wells and the pipeline, or other transportation system, is called an oilfield facility. An oilfield facility is different from a refinery or chemical plant in a number of ways. The process is simpler in a facility, consisting of phase separation, temperature changes, and pressure changes, but no chemical reactions to make new molecules. In a refinery, the feed-stream flow rate and composition are defined before the equipment is designed.

Oil and gas wells produce a mixture of hydrocarbon gas, condensate or oil; water with dissolved minerals, usually including a large amount of salt; other gases, including nitrogen, carbon dioxide (CO2), and possibly hydrogen sulfide (H2S); and solids, including sand from the reservoir, dirt, scale, and corrosion products from the tubing. The purpose of oil and gas processing is to separate, remove, or transform these various components to make the hydrocarbons ready for sale. A production facility's job is to separate the well stream into three components, commonly referred to as "phases" (oil, gas, and water), and then process or dispose of these phases in an environmentally safe manner. In mechanical devices called "separators" gas is flashed from the liquids and "free water" is separated from the oil. The goal is to produce oil that meets the purchaser's specifications that define the maximum allowable amounts of the following: * Water * Salt * Other impurities Similarly, the gas must be processed to meet purchaser's water vapor and hydrocarbon dewpoint specifications to limit condensation during transportation. Several factors should be considered when selecting a treating system to determine the most desirable method of treating crude oil to pipeline requirements.

Factors that have the greatest influence on the selection of the most cost-effective pump type include capacity, TDH, maintenance, viscosity, and capacity control. Within the general type selections, a particular construction style is most influenced by discharge pressure, NPSHA, fluid temperature, and space and weight limitations.

Pumps are used to move fluids, which include liquids, dissolved gases, and solids. Gases include dissolved air and hydrocarbon vapors. Solids include sand, clay, corrosion byproducts, and scale. The most common types of liquids pumped in upstream operations are crude oil, condensate, lube oils, glycols, amines, and water. Each fluid has different physical properties that must be taken into consideration when sizing and selecting a pump. The most important physical properties are suction pressure, specific gravity, viscosity, vapor pressure, solids content, and lubricity. Types of Pumps A pump can be defined as "a mechanical device that adds energy to a fluid to increase its flow rate and static pressure."[1] This process can be accomplished with positive-displacement pumps or kinetic-energy pumps.

This chapter consists of a general discussion of production logs, some misconceptions about what can be determined with these logs, and the requisite skills to obtain good results. Also included are discussions of practical matters such as required safety and environmental tips, sinker-bar weight, maximum tool length to pass through a bend, depth control, pricing, and record keeping. Attached as an Appendix is a set of tables prepared for readers that are consulting this text to find out quickly what type of production-logging tools are appropriate to a particular problem. These tables indicate what tools to use, how to use them, and what results (resolution) to expect. These tables were designed to be independent of the general discussion and can be used by themselves.
