Oil and Gas Processing Fundamentals

How an upstream production facility turns the mixed fluids from a well into export-quality oil, gas and clean water, for new operators, technicians, graduate engineers and non-process staff. It covers fluid properties, separation in depth, oil treating, produced water, gas handling, utilities, storage, metering and export, and the relief, shutdown and fire and gas systems that keep the plant safe.
