The problem of removing water which is emulsified with produced oil
has grown more widespread and often times more difficult as
producers attempt to access more difficult reserves. This practical
guide is designed to help engineers and operators develop a "feel"
for selection, sizing, and troubleshooting emulsion equipment.
These skills are of vital importance to ensure low operating costs
and to meet crude export quality specifications. The book is
written for engineers and operators, who need advanced knowledge of
the numerous techniques and the equipment used to destabilize and
resolve petroleum emulsions problems. In Emulsions and Oil Treating
Equipment: Selection, Sizing and Troubleshooting the author
provides engineers and operators with a guide to understanding
emulsion theory, methods and equipment, and practical design of a
treating system. Comprehensive in its scope, the author explains
methods such as: demulsifiers, temperature, electrostatics and
non-traditional methods of modulated or pulsed voltage control, as
well as equipment such as: electrostatic treater (dehydrator),
separator, gunbarr heater-treater and free water knockout. Written
in a "how to" format, it brings together hundreds of methods, handy
formulas, diagrams and tables in one convenient book.
This practical guide is 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 for types of separators.

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-rating
of equipment. The objective of this book is to provide
engineerswith sufficient information to make better logical choices
in designing and operating the system. "Heat Exchanger Equipment
Field Manual" provides an indispensable means for the determination
of possible failures and for the recognition of the optimization
potential of the respective heat exchanger.
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 fifth book in
the Field Manual Series, the "Pressure Vessel Operations Field
Manual" provides new and experienced engineers with the latest
tools to alter, repair and re-rate pressure vessels using ASME,
NBIC and API 510 codes and standards. How to select the appropriate vessel specifications, evaluate associated reports and determine allowable stresses Calculations for stresses in pressure vessels Select the appropriate materials of construction for a pressure vessel Design pressure vessels using the ASME Code Section VIII, Division 1 and 2 to best fit the circumstance
Produced water is mainly salty water trapped in the reservoir rock and brought up along with oil or gas during production. Almost all offshore oilfields produce large quantities of contaminated water that can have significant environmental effects if not handled properly. 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 this book is to provide any one who is involved in the design, operation, maintenance and sizing of produced water treatment systems, with a handy reference to the latest technology, management, treatment, and handling practices. This book will provide readers with the necessary insight to: Present a description of the various water treating equipment that are currently in use Provide performance data for each unit Develop a "feel" for the parameters needed for design and their relative importance Develop and understanding of the uncertainties and assumptions inherent in the design of the various items of equipment Outline sizing procedures and equipment selection The objective of this book is to provide the reader with
sufficient information to make better logical choices in designing
and operating the system. To a large extent, the design of a
system, the sizing of individual pieces of equipment and the
operation of the system must be tempered by the experience and
judgement of the designer and operator.
