PRODUCTION FACILITY
INTRODUCTION 
 Separate the well stream into three components, called 
“phases” (oil, gas, and water) 
 Process these phases into some marketable products 
 Dispose of them in an environmentally acceptable 
 Accommodation of accurate measuring and sampling of 
the crude oil.

Wellhead
WELLHEAD 
 Maintains surface control using choke 
 Prevent well fluids from leaking or blowing at the surface 
 Design to withstand pressures of up to 140 MPa(1400 
 Consist of three components; 
I.Casing head 
II.Tubing head 
III.Christmas Tree 
 Consist of two types of Pumps 
1.Electric Submersible Pumps (ESP) 
2.Progressive Cavity Pumps (PCP)
WELLHEAD
ELECTRIC SUBMERSIBLE PUMPS 
 Electrically driven and submersible 
 Consist of three units 
I. Electric Motor 
II. Protector 
III.Multistage Centrifugal Pump 
 Operation is controlled by a control box
PROGRESSIVE CAVITY PUMPS 
PPCCPP PPuummppss
OIL GATHERING MANIFOLD (OGM) 
 It serves two purposes: 
I. To collect production from several individual wells and direct it 
via a production manifold to a gathering line, a gathering station, 
or a field pump station 
II. To direct production via a test header from a selected well to a 
well test skid located at each manifold 
 Located adjacent to a producing well
SEPERATORS 
Mechanical devices where gas is flashed from the liquids and 
“free water” is separated from the oil 
Can be either horizontal, vertical and spherical in configuration 
Two types Production separator and Test separator 
Production separator can be either two phase and three phase 
Most oil contracts specify a maximum percent of basic 
sediment and water (BS&W) that can be in the crude 
Typically vary from 0.5% to 3% depending on location 
Water from the separators must be treated to remove small 
quantities of produced oil
SEPERATORS
STAGING OF SEPARATORS
TWO PHASE SEPERATORS
THREE PHASE SEPERATORS
COMPRESSOR 
 Consist of 
I. Scrubbers- remove liquid droplets 
II. Heat Exchangers
HEAT EXCHANGERS 
 Use to cool the gas
HEAT EXCHANGERS
DEHYDRATOR/DESALTER 
 Dehydration 
 Desalting 
 Consists of three primary steps 
I. Injection of wash water 
II. Contact between the wash water and the 
soluble salts, and 
III. Separation of the aqueous phase – most of the 
installed hardware is involved in the phase 
separation step

FLARE SUBSYSTEM 
 Include Flare, atmospheric ventilation and blow down 
 Provide safe discharge and disposal of gases and liquids 
resulting from: 
I. Spill-off flaring from the product stabilization system 
(Oil, Condensate etc.) 
I. Production testing 
II. Relief of excess pressure caused by process upset 
conditions and thermal expansion 
I. Depressurization either in response to an emergency 
situation or as part of a normal procedure 
I. Planned depressurization of subsea production 
flowlines and export pipelines.

CONTROL SYSTEM 
Programmable Logic Design (PLCs) and Distributed 
Control System (DCS) 
Provide automatic day-to –day control of oil field 
production system
CONTROL SYSTEM
POWER GENERATION AND DISTRIBUTION 
Provided from main power or from local diesel 
generator sets 
Large facilities have great power demands, from 30 
MW and upwards to several hundred MW. 
Voltage levels for High, Medium and Low 
voltage distribution boards are 13- 130kV, 2-8 kV 
and 300-600 V respectively 
Power is generated and exchanged with mains or 
other facilities on the HV distribution board 
Relays for protection functions

POWER GENERATION AND DISTRIBUTION 
 Power management system is used for control of electrical 
switchgear and equipment 
 Includes HV, MV and LV low voltage switchgear 
 Motor Control Centers (MCC) and emergency generator sets
