PART 4 Flashcards
A unit used to remove minute water particles from natural gas if dehydration was not attained using separators
glycol dehydrator
The tendency of fluids to stratify into different layers because of gravity forces
gravity segregation
A settling tank used for treating oil
gun barrel
An opening in the top of a tank through which samples are taken or inspection is made
hatch
In a gathering system, a pipe arrangement that connects flowlines from several wellheads into a single gathering line
header
Equipment that transfers heat to the produced gas stream
heater
A vessel that uses heat to break oil-water emulsions so the oil can be accepted by thepipelineor transport
heater treater
A vessel, with its cylindrical axes parallel to the ground, that is used to separate oil, gas and water from the produced stream
horizontal separator
In a glycol dehydrator, glycol that has been boiled and no longer contains any water
lean glycol
A sea vessel used to transport liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)
LNGC /liquefied natural gas carrier
A hygroscopic liquid used to remove water and water vapor from a gas stream
liquid desiccant
An emulsion with large and widely distributed droplets
loose emulsion
Small liquid droplets (moisture or liquid hydrocarbons) in a gas stream
mist
A device used to collect small liquid droplets (moisture or hydrocarbons) from the gas stream before it leaves the separator
mist extractor
A pump that can handle the complete production from a well (oil, natural gas, water and sand, for example) without needing to separate or process the production stream near or at the wellhead
multiphase pump
