PART 3 Flashcards
A hygroscopic solid such as silica gel, calcium chloride [CaCl2] or other materials used in dry-bed dehydrators to absorb water and water vapor from a gas stream
dry bed
A device that removes water and water vapor from a gas stream using two or more beds of solid desiccants, such as silica gel or calcium chloride [CaCl2]
dry bed dehydrator
A treated oil that contains small amounts of basic sediments and water (BS&W)
dry oil
A hole dug to contain brine for disposal by evaporation
evaporation pit
The burning of unwanted gas through a pipe
flare
A vapor or gas that is burned through a pipe or burners
flare gas
Deployed offshore in locations that have limited access to pipelines to carry natural gas to the mainland
FLNG / floating liquefied natural gas vessel
Deployed for offshore production in locations that have little infrastructure
FPSO / floating production, storage, and offloading vessel
A vertical or horizontal separator used mainly to remove any free water that can cause problems such as corrosion and formation of hydrates or tight emulsions, which are difficult to break
FWKO /free water knockout
An installation that processes natural gas to recover natural gas liquids (condensate, natural gasoline and liquefied petroleum gas) and sometimes other substances such as sulfur
gas processing plant
The gas produced or separated at surface conditions from the full well stream produced from a natural gas reservoir
gaswell gas
The liquids separated at surface conditions from the full well stream produced from a natural gas reservoir
gaswell liquids
The pipes used to transport oil and gas from a field to the main pipeline in the area
gathering lines
The flowline network and process facilities that transport and control the flow of oil or gas from the wells to a main storage facility, processing plant or shipping point
gathering system
In a glycol dehydrator unit, the cylinder composed of various perforated trays in which wet gas and glycol are put in contact
glycol absorber
