PART 7 Flashcards
The capacity of all the tanks in a field
tankage
A ship designed to transport crude oil, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), liquefied natural gas (LNG), synthetic natural gas (SNG) or refined products
tanker
An 800-mile [1287-km], 48-in [122-cm] pipeline that transports more than 1 million barrels of oil from Deadhorse (near Prudhoe Bay) to Valdez, Alaska, USA
TAPS / Trans Alaska Pipeline System
A vessel used to separate and meter relatively small quantities of oil and gas
test separator
A device that can be lowered into a tank to obtain samples (liquid or sediments) at different depths
thief
An opening in the top of the stock tank
thief hatch
A vessel that separates the well fluids into gas and two types of liquids: oil and water
three phase separator
An emulsion with small and closely distributed droplets
tight emulsion
A vessel used to treat oil-water emulsions so the oil can be accepted by the pipeline or transport
treater
A vessel that separates the well fluids into gas and total liquid
two phase separator /oil and gas separator
A supertanker with 500,000 deadweight tons of capacity or more
ULCC /ultralarge crude carrier
A system composed of a scrubber, a compressor and a switch
vapor recovery unit
A vessel with its cylindrical axes perpendicular to the ground that is used to separate oil, gas and water from the production stream
vertical separator
A supertanker with a capacity between 100,000 and 500,000 deadweight tons
VLCC /very large crude carrier
Natural gas that contains less methane (typically less than 85% methane) and more ethane and other more complex hydrocarbons
wet gas
