Surface Production Operations: Design of Oil Handling Systems and Facilities

Surface Production Operations, Volume 1: Design of Oil Handling Systems and Facilities, Fourth Edition is an up-to-date educational resource for the design, selection, specification, installation, operation, and troubleshooting of oil and water handling facilities. The first volume in the Surface Production Operations series, this reference covers all stages from initial entry into the flowline through separation, treating, conditioning, and processing equipment to the exiting pipeline. This new edition is upgraded to focus on decarbonization efforts, including new chapters devoted to reducing flaring, inserting carbon capture utilization and storage on the facility as well as blending in alternative energy assets.

New chapters include decarbonizing production through electrification, how the industry tracks and fixes methane leaks, options to reducing emissions, updated flowcharts, relief valves, pumps, pressure ratings, and engine decarbonization. Upgraded visuals including tables, graphs, data, and photos provide additional understanding. Packed with complete instruction and methods, Design of Oil Handling Systems and Facilities, Fourth Edition gives today's petroleum engineer and plant manager a safe and effective way to learn production facilities while promoting net zero energy systems.
