Once oil and gas are located and the well is successfully drilled and completed, the product must be transported to a facility where it can be produced/treated, stored, processed, refined, or transferred for eventual sale. Figure 1.1 is a simplified diagram that illustrates the typical, basic "wellhead to sales" concept. The typical system begins at the well flow-control device on the producing "wing(s)" of the wellhead tree and includes the well "flowline," production/treating/storage equipment, custody-transfer measurement equipment, and the gathering or sales pipeline. Information and detailed discussions concerning petroleum production, treating, storage, and measurement equipment are located in various chapters of this Handbook. The piping and pipeline systems typically associated with producing wells include, but are not limited to, the well flowline, interconnecting equipment piping within the production "battery," the gathering or sales pipeline, and the transmission pipeline. A brief description of the associated piping/pipeline systems is given next. The well flowline, or simply flowline, is the first "pipeline" system connected to the wellhead. The flowline carries total produced fluids (e.g., oil, gas, and production water) from the well to the first piece of production equipment--typically a production separator. The flowline may carry the well-production fluids to a common production battery, a gathering pipeline system, process facility, or other. Interconnecting piping includes the piping between the various pieces of production/treating equipment such as production separators, line heaters, oil heaters, pump units, storage tanks, and gas dehydrators. The piping systems may also include headers, fuel systems, other utility piping, and pressure-relief/flare systems. The pipe that delivers the well production to some intermediate or terminal location is the gathering or sales pipeline. The gathering pipeline literally "gathers" the production from producing wells and conveys the production to a collection system, a processing facility, custody-transfer (sales) point, or other. The transmission pipeline is a "cross-country" pipeline that is specifically designed to transport petroleum products long distances.

Oil, gas, water, steel, and rock are not always chemically inert under oil/gas production conditions. Their mutual interactions, induced in part by changes in pressure and temperature, can lead to the accumulation of solids, both organic and inorganic (scaling) within the production system, as well as deterioration of the metals that the fluids contact (corrosion). This chapter discusses these effects in terms of root causes, the operational difficulties resulting, and the principles/methods that have been used to cope. Case histories are not presented in any detail, but references are given to specific papers dealing with cause/effect/cure examples. It is assumed that the reader is not an expert in things chemical but does have a passing acquaintance with the jargon of chemistry and with some of the general principles underlying chemical processes.
