GasCompression. GasfromSeparators,SurgeTanksandexportgasesifanyfromotherprocess

NormallyGas turbinedrivenCentrifugal compressors (PGCs ProcessGasCompressors)areused.
Gases compressed in PGCs is dehydrated to prevent formation of GASHYDRATES.Gashydratesareformedatlowtemperatureswhenmoistureispresent in Hydrocarbon gases. These gas hydrates are ice like substancewhichpreventthesmoothfloworblocktheflowofgasesingas flowlines.

Multiphase production systems require the transportation of a mixture of oil, water and gas, often for many miles from the producing well to a distant processing facility.
This represents a significant departure from conventional production operations in which fluids are separated before being pumped and compressed through separate pipelines. By eliminating this equipment, the cost of a multiphase pumping facility is about 70% that of a conventional facility and significantly more savings can be realized if the need for an offshore structure is eliminated altogether.
However, multiphase pumps do operate less efficiently (30-50%, depending on Gas volume fraction and other factors) than conventional pumps (60- 70%) and compressors (70-90%).
Still, a number of advantages in using multiphase pumps can be realized, including: 1)Increased production through lowering backpressure on wells; 2)Elimination of vapor recovery systems; 3)Reduced permitting needs; 4)Reduction in capital equipment costs; and, 5)Reduction in footprint of operations .
MULTI PHASE PUMPING

CONVENTIONAL AND MULTIPHASE PUMPING

z Multiphase pumping is a relatively new technology and acceptance has been hampered by a lack of engineering design tools.
z Recently, pipeline simulation codes have incorporated the ability to model multiphase pump performance as part of the overall multiphase production system
