ABSTRACT
This book deals with the field surface operations and facilities for handling and processing the produced oil, gas, and water. This is an important aspect in the overall planning and development of the field and must be considered and integrated into the early stages of planning, economic evaluation, and development of the field. Before considering the surface production operations and facilities, however, extensive work and studies are first made to characterize and evaluate the reservoir, determine the production strategy for the life of the field, design the well completions that are compatible with the production strategy, and design the well-drilling programs.
