Petroleum Production System
Introduction
This is the schematic picture of petroleum production system. The production system is the system that transports
reservoir fluids from the subsurface reservoir to the surface, processes and
treats the fluids, and prepares the fluids for storage and transfer to the
market.
As shown in the picture, the basic elements of the production system
start from Reservoir, Wellbore, Surface wellhead, flowlines, and processing
equipment. A ‘‘reservoir’’ is a porous and permeable underground formation
containing an individual bank of hydrocarbons confined by impermeable rock or
water barriers and is characterized by a single natural pressure system. Oil
and gas wells are drilled like an upside-down telescope. The large-diameter
borehole section is at the top of the well. Each section is cased to the
surface, or a liner is placed in the well that laps over the last casing in the
well. Each casing or liner is cemented into the well (usually up to at least
where the cement overlaps the previous cement job). A well is composed of
casings, tubing, packers, down-hole chokes (optional), wellhead, Christmas
tree, and surface chokes. The equipment
at the top of the producing wellhead is called a ‘‘Christmas tree’’ and it is
used to control flow. The fluids produced from oil wells are normally complex mixtures
of hundreds of different compounds. A typical oil well stream is a
high-velocity, turbulent, constantly expanding mixture of gases and hydrocarbon
liquids, intimately mixed with water vapor, free water, and sometimes solids.
The well stream should be processed as soon as possible after bringing them to
the surface by separator.
Preview
The slide will discuss about every important part of the production system. It will discuss step by step petroleum flow from Reservoir to the surface, it will focus on different kinds of reservoir, why the reservoir can flow the hydrocarbon to the wellbore, the detailed picture about the wellbore, the structure of the wellbore, different parts of wellhead and christmas tree, their functions, and finally different kinds of separator which are used in petroleum industry. The slide is focused on color and moving object to help the imagination of the viewer, so the learning process will be accelerated. Therefore, We advice the presenter to give a little time learning about petroleum system, OR this slide also good for those who want to imagine how does it works. Because everything's less boring when they are moving and colorful!
You'll be amazed how a single picture may talks a lot of things!
AND THE BEST PART IS THE PRESENTATION IS FREE!! You can download the presentation below, and see how a single picture can tell you a thousand words. It is quite impossible to analyze ALL the perspective of the picture (example: from the point of view reservoir engineer, drilling engineer, production engineer, geologist, etc) So feel free to add your perspective and additional data about the picture in the comment! Thank you!
