I guess my question is more so how to correctly combine the volumes of gas and fluid. Taking 2200 bbld of total fluid down to a cubic foot per second conversion gives 0.14 cu foot per second. And 5 mmscfd taken down to cu foot per second is roughly 57 cu foot per second. I know they have...
I have a process facility with two separators. First is a vertical 2 phase 36" x 15'. Second is a horizontal 3 phase 72" x 20'. The values from well head are 5 mmscfd, 1800 bbld water, 400 bbld oil. Design pressure is 200 psig, temp is 150 F, and ideal flow velocity is 3-4 ft/s. Working on pipe...
I am needing to find the oil/water capacity in a separator. It has a weir plate and gas will be settling at the top so I know I need to account for that area that the gas will take up. Any tips?
Thank you for the response. I will look into those variables and changes. Would you recommend using the GPSA book or is there a better place with that info? Also, if a heated separator is used, that would likely require a cooling device prior to the gas going to the final line correct?
Im needing to decide from a cost and efficiency stand point if a heated or non heated separator is the best decision. The design is basically a multiple well head process that has already gone through a 2 phase separation. Temp in 2 phase stage is roughly 180 and dropping to roughly 90 degrees...
Again, this is still pretty early in the design process. The goal of this part of the process is to do first stage seperation, the seperated oil, gas, and water will be transported in trucks to another facility for further treating. I know there are some unknowns but im really just needing to...
I did some calculations using the design pressure and volume flow rates that I have coming out of the well. I was getting somewhere around 12 ft/s of gas flow with a 12 inch pipe when pumping against standard pressures
Thank you all for the responses! So assuming the design pressure is 200 psi, and lets say gas and liquid each take up 50% of the volume coming from the well and going into the separator. What are next steps in sizing/designing the separator process and piping size. Looking at using either a high...
Thank you for the response. Right now the distance from well to separator isn't something that needs to be considered just because of where we are in the design. The gas composition isnt important either because this is just the first phase of separation between oil gas and water. I do not know...
Trying to calculate total pressure/flow numbers for a well that is producing 7 mmscfd gas, 2000 bbld water, 600 bbld oil. All will be seperated and sent to an oil tank, water tank, and gas line. I know that my gas output line needs to be 200 psi. Trying to calculate the inlet pressure that will...
