An oil production facility is a lot more than simply a place where oil is produced and shipped off to consumers. Here is a closer look at how facilities actually function and the many processes that go into producing the materials that we use on a daily basis.

Main and Secondary Functions of an Oil Production Facility

An oil facility surprisingly has several different functions involved with its purpose. The main function of an oil production facility is to:

• Separate oil, gas, water, and solids
• Treat oil to meet sales specifications
• Measure/Sample the Oil to Determine Value
• Deliver the Oil

These facilities also treat natural gas for sales or disposal. Fuel gas treatment may include separation from the liquids as well as other processes that include:

• Gas Compression
• Dehydration
• Removal of H2S and CO2
• Gas Processing into NGLs

Secondary Processes at an Oil Production Facility

Aside from processing oil for sale, the water and solids that are produced from these processes must be treated for disposal. In addition to separating hydrocarbons, secondary processes of an oil production facility include:

• Filtration
• Pumping
• Deionization

Natural Gas Separation

The first step in the process of a manufacturing facility is separating the gas from the liquid and the water from the oil. This part of the process usually involves a separator which is a pressure vessel into which the well stream flows to allow the gas, oil, and water to separate because of gravity.

Separators are either two-phase or three phase; in a two-phase separator, the process involves separating gas from liquids. A three-phase separator separates gas, oil, and water from three outlets.

Oil Treatment

Keep in mind that no separation is a perfect job, and there is always some amount of water remaining in the oil and it can range from less than 1 percent to 20 percent in the oil. The higher the molecular weight of the water in the oil, then the less efficient the separation was.

In order to remove the last of the water from the oil, the oil itself is processed through an oil treater. This is a similar device to a separator but is specific to helping to separate the remaining water from the oil.

After this process, the oil is usually sent to a dry oil tank where it is pumped through a sales meter to prepare for transportation.

Produced-Water Treatment

When dealing with the process of produced-water treatment from the oil. a good rule of thumb is to use two types of water-treating equipment for a gas facility and three types for an oil facility.

Common water treatment equipment includes:

• Water Skimmers
• Plate Coalescers
• Gas Floatation Devices

Liquefied natural gas, also known as NGLs in the oil and gas industry is natural gas that has been turned into liquid form for several reasons, from safety to transport. Liquifying natural gas is one of the main functions of any oil production facility, for many reasons. NGLs are common in the industry and society as a whole, but many people don’t know all of the facts about this production good that we use on a daily basis. Here are some of the little-known facts about NGLs and why natural gas is even liquefied in the first place.

Why Liquefy It?

When natural gas is in its gaseous state it is a hazard. There are many reasons to liquefy it, but safety is really one of the main ones. The liquefication process cools and removes certain components that can cause safety complications like dust, acid gases, helium, water, and heavy hydrocarbons. While in its gaseous state, the material is odorless, colorless, and non-toxic. However, the dangers of natural gases lie in flammability, freezing, and asphyxia.

Also, Liquefied Natural Gas is easier to use in daily life as a product that powers cars and facilities alike.

Shipping Safety with Liquefied Natural Gas

NGL are usually created in order to transport natural gas to markets. Once they are shipped these gases are usually regasified and distributed throughout the pipeline. Ships that carry out natural gas shipments are equipped with state-of-the-art leak detection technology, emergency shutdown systems, advanced radar, and other technologies that ensure that there will be safe and secure transport of the goods.

With a double hull and heavy insulation, these ships are built so that the transported natural gases are not stored under pressure, and all of the crew is alerted that there are potentially hazardous materials on-board.

Did You Know About Regasification Terminals?

Once natural gas liquids hit their arrival site, they are sent to import and regasification terminals. These areas are plants that are built to store and process NGLs safely. These facilities come with extensive safety systems like:

• Spill containment
• Methane detectors
• Fire detection
• Suppression equipment

The industry surrounding liquefied natural gases provides its workers with appropriate security, planning, prevention and more to significantly reduce risks when working with this substance. They are also in close coordination with local state and federal authorities since they are the regulators in charge of putting natural gases through to the public.

Need Your NGLs Mobile? Pro-Gas can Help

Throughout the world, there is an enormous amount of natural gas that can be put to good use for the public. However, in order to safely transport product across oceans, they first must be liquefied and cooled using gas coolers. If you are a facility owner that is facing a need to liquefy your gas products, then Pro-Gas, LLC has some solutions that will keep your gas flowing.

Using our gas coolers, you can help meet the stringent temperature requirements of liquefied natural gas. We also have the capabilities to make your NGLs go mobile through the use of our natural gas liquid JT skids. Get in touch with us today to find out more about our services and products.

The oil and natural gas industry is one that relies heavily on the success of its equipment. Faulty equipment creates substantial problems, which then lead to stark declines in productivity and money for the facility.

Even though this is the reality of the industry, several production facilities still experience problems that hamper their success. Pro-Gas, LLC is a company that is dedicated to being a problem solver for the oil and natural gas production industry. Here are some of the ways that, through our equipment and work ethic, we help solve issues in the industry.

Natural gas production is an important business that has an impact on all of our lives. From creating vehicle fuel to providing the power that our homes rely on, there is no question about how much our society actually puts to use its produced natural gasses. There are natural gas production facilities popping up all over the country and new shale gas areas opening up on a regular basis. It is no surprise that new players are eager to start careers in the natural gas production industry. However, before entering the industry, we think it is a good idea to understand the most popular equipment being used in the current natural gas production business.

JT Skids & Fuel Gas Conditioning

A successful natural gas production plant will have a fuel gas conditioning system that takes raw, high-pressure gas and turns it into lean fuel gas in order to maximize the natural gas liquids vapor recovery. This equipment is important to facilities because it maximizes NGL recoveries, provides lower BTU fuel for field operations, and decreases maintenance of the facility due to lower BTU.

It is very important to have a fuel conditioner, and getting one that is skid-mounted is a great way of remaining mobile and provides for an easier installation of your facility equipment.

Portable Natural Gas Liquid Storage

NGL storage is important for facilities because it helps reduce the cost of having to create a functional natural gas liquids storage tanks for the facility. Gas is a renewable liquid so mobile ways of storing NGLs are extremely important.

One excellent solution is portable NGL storage. This storage solution is not only a piece of cake to install, but it is skid mounted and has all of its loading accessories located on the skid. Our NGL storage skids come with all of the components that are required by safety regulations.

Natural Gas Coolers

Natural Gas coolers are a great mobile way to eliminate the negative operating effects of high gas and liquid temperatures. These pieces of equipment receive liquid streams for cooling and flow through tubes to lower the temperature. Eventually, this process eventually controls natural gas and helps achieve the desired outlet temperature.

Pro-Gas, LLC has two sizes of gas coolers available. Our products have all of the standard features that are needed for natural gas coolers to get the job done.

If you are in the resource mining industry, or the oil and gas industry, then you understand the importance of knowing the functions involved with different types of natural gas coolers at your facility. The natural gas cooler is a huge topic in this industry right now.

Process coolers are heat exchangers that are used to reduce gas and liquid well stream temperatures in gathered resources. The reduction in temperature allows for further processing from a facility and helping them to meet pipeline specifications.

Po-Gas carries gas coolers in two sizes, the EH-60 Cooler, and the EH-108. Each of our coolers are equipped with the industry-standard features necessary for using a natural gas cooler at your natural gas production facility.

What is a Natural Gas Cooler?

Gas coolers are a part of a typical fuel system on many non-electronic engines in facility equipment. The function of a gas cooler is to cool the heated fuel return flow and realize the purpose of why excess heat needs to be removed from a system.

How Do Gas Coolers Work?

Gas coolers receive gas streams for cooling and they then flow through tubes that helps lower the temperature of the liquids or gases. From there, air is blown over the tube to further impact the cooling process of the valuable resources.

Our Pro-Gas LLC coolers’ outlet temperatures are controlled by louvers that are adjustable. The flexibility of these louvers allows for facilities operating our equipment to gain the desired outlet temperature.

EH-60 Cooler Package

Pro-Gas Services, LLC is proud to say that both of our natural gas coolers are skid mounted and create an easy, cost-effective deployment and removal when the job is complete.

Our premiere EH-60 Cooler package comes with the EH-60 Cooler that is designed to handle up to 5 MMSCFD. Our skid design allows it to be installed quickly and on short notice. This way your facility can use the equipment when it is actually needed.

In order to ensure that your facility can get its equipment delivered on time, the EH-60 is designed in a condensed size for economic delivery to sites. It is also a gas cooler that is prepared to meet your wellhead cooling needs via engine and electric drive coolers built into its system.

EH-108 Cooler Package

For larger natural gas cooling applications, your facility is best suited to work with our EH-108 cooler package. This package is able to work with large amounts of gas and liquids alike, making it a diverse piece of equipment for a production facility. Much like the EH-60, it is skid mounted and has engine and electric drive coolers to meet a larger capacity of wellhead cooling necessities.

Oil and Gas Equipment & Service Industry Structure

Like many industries within the economy, there are many contributors that take part in the process of manufacturing or delivering to achieve the end use products and services that eventually get out to the consumer market. From equipment manufacturers and suppliers to equipment renters to service providers, there are many activities associated in the oil and gas equipment and services industry. With the high demand for oil, especially since the United States is working toward becoming energy independent, there are many companies within the industry that are involved in at least one or more of the activities relating to oil and gas services and equipment.

• Manufacturers and suppliers of equipment – Out in the oilfields, in the refineries and in the storage and shipment process, producers of oil and gas require many different types of equipment to get the oil out of the ground and get it out to the consumers. The initial equipment begins with drilling machinery and many attachments that must be replaced and serviced regularly; then after some of the initial drilling steps follows steps that require equipment for vapor recovery, fuel gas conditioning, gas coolers and NGL storage equipment. Due to the structure of the industry and all the steps involved, from pipes and hoses to JT Skids and Vapor Recovery Compression Units, there are oil and gas equipment manufacturers and suppliers for every piece of the puzzle.

• Equipment Renters – For short run jobs at a temporary location or for a producer that cannot justify owning a certain piece of equipment because they won’t need it often enough, equipment renters own equipment specifically to rent it out for temporary use. This normally takes place for onshore and offshore drilling rigs, and can also include certain equipment that isn’t needed very often.

• Oil and gas service providers – Service providers are the ones that do the things that keep the oil and gas industry moving. Oil and gas services can range from all types of services like hydraulic fracturing, on-site waste disposal, compression packages, or oil and gas equipment maintenance services.
