Covering both upstream and downstream oil and gas facilities, Surface Production Operations: Volume 5: Pressure Vessels, Heat Exchangers, and Aboveground Storage Tanks delivers a must-have reference guide to maximize efficiency, increase performance, prevent failures, and reduce costs. Every engineer and equipment manager in oil and gas must have complete knowledge of the systems and equipment involved for each project and facility, especially...

For over thirty years, the Surface Production Operations Series has taken the guess work out of the design, selection, installation, operation, testing, and troubleshooting of surface production equipment. The fourth volume in this series, Pumps and Compressorsis directed to both entry-level personnel and practicing professionals looking for an up-to-date reference book on managing, evaluating, sizing, selecting, installing, operating and main...

From upstream to downstream, heat exchangers are utilized in every stage of the petroleum value stream. An integral piece of equipment, heat exchangers are among the most confusing and problematic pieces of equipment in petroleum processing operations. This is especially true for engineers just entering the field or seasoned engineers that must keep up with the latest methods for in-shop and in-service inspection, repair, alteration and re-rat...

The majority of the cost-savings for any oil production facility is the prevention of failure in the production equipment such as pressure vessels. Money lost through lost production far outweighs expenses associated with maintenance and proper operation. However, many new engineers lack the necessary skills to effectively find and troubleshoot operating problems while experienced engineers lack knowledge of the latest codes and standards. The...

The latest edition of this best-selling title is updated and expanded for easier use by engineers. New to this edition is a section on the fundamentals of surface production operations taking up topics from the oilfield as originally planned by the authors in the first edition. This information is necessary and endemic to production and process engineers. Now, the book offers a truly complete picture of surface production operations, from the ...

3rd edition. Subtitled "Design Of Gas-Handling Systems & Facilities".

A manual for applying mechanical and physical principles to the various phases of facility piping and pipeline system design, construction and operation. It provides practicing engineer and senior field personnel with an exposition of piping and pipeline theory, fundamentals, and application.

Gas-Liquid And Liquid-Liquid Separators is practical guide designed to help engineers and operators develop a ?feel? for selection, specification, operating parameters, and trouble-shooting separators, form an understanding of the uncertainties and assumptions inherent in operating the equipment. The goal is to help familiarize operators with the knowledge and tools required to understand design flaws and solve everyday operational problems fo...

The water emulsified within the oil must be removed to produce a marketable crude oil. In addition, water in oil can lead to the formation of rust, bacterial growth and increased oil oxidation -all factors that lead to reduced lifetime of both components and oil. Furthermore, the nature of petroleum emulsions change continuously as the producing field depletes and production methods change. The problem has grown more widespread and more diffic...

Produced water is mainly salty water trapped in the reservoir rock and brought up along with oil or gas during production. Over the life of a well, the volume of water produced will exceed the volume of oil by a factor of 3-6 times. Since produced water has no commercial value, operators must find a way to treat relatively large amounts of water at the lowest possible cost. Packed with over 500 tables, figures, and equations, the objective of ...

About a third of the world's natural gas reserves contain high concentrations of contaminants and so are termed "sour gas". Virtually unusable, producers must find cost-effective methods for preparing this product for consumer use. Not easy to do in an industry where processes and equipment can widely vary. Based on two popular training courses given by Stewart and Arnold, the Gas Sweetening and Processing Field Manual provides engineers with ...
