ABSTRACT

This chapter should serve as a preview of the contents of the text and as a way of giving a bird’s-eye view of the scope of activities encompassed. Field processing of produced crude oil-gas mixture aims to separate the well stream into quality oil and gas saleable products in order to recover the maximum amount of each at minimum cost. Our objective in this chapter is to offer a basic understanding and to present a concise description for every processing surface unit from wellhead to finished quality stream products. This chapter would prove to be of value to pave the way for the readers. As readers navigate through this chapter, they can maneuver smoothly from stage to stage as presented in Figure 2.1.
