Unit Outcomes: | On completion of this unit students will have - Been presented with an overview of the petroleum industry, from the wellhead to the marketplace, with emphasis on gas plant process operations. Used the overall process flowsheet to illustrate how the various operations are integrated into plants capable of handling diverse feeds of oil and gas. The key processes of dehydration and sweetening, 3-Phase separation, CO2 removal, ethane and natural gas liquids (NGL) recovery, demulsification and NGL production operations will have been emphasised. A student who has completed this unit will be able to follow a career in surface production operations. |
