Three phase separators separate gas, oil, and water. They consist of three zones: an inlet zone, a liquid-liquid settling zone, and a gas-liquid separation zone. Key factors that affect separator efficiency include the inlet flow pattern and devices, feed pipe geometry, entrainment, and internals. Separators can be horizontal or vertical, with horizontal separators often used for foamy streams and liquid-liquid separation, while vertical separators handle large liquid slugs. Proper sizing considers flow rates, residence times, velocities, and droplet sizes to achieve efficient phase separation with minimum carryover.
Phase separation occurs in a pressure vessel called a separator that is used to separate well fluids produced from oil and gas wells into gaseous and liquid components. Separators employ mechanisms like gravity settling, centrifugal force, and baffling to separate the phases. Separator design and performance is dependent on factors like flow rates, fluid properties, presence of impurities, and foaming tendencies. Common types of separators include test separators, production separators, and low temperature separators that are used for primary separation, secondary separation, and removal of specific phases like free water.

Selection of the appropriate drilling fluid depends on formation data and requirements for each well section.
Natural gas contains water that must be removed through dehydration. There are three main dehydration methods: direct cooling, adsorption, and absorption. Glycol absorption is most common, using triethylene glycol to continuously remove water down to 0.5 lb of H2O/MMSCF. Glycol dehydration has lower costs than alternatives due to easier regeneration and makeup of glycol, as well as less heat required per pound of water removed. Removing water prevents issues like reduced heating value, gas hydrate formation, and corrosion in downstream pipelines and equipment.

Produced water is water produced from oil and gas extraction operations. It originates from hydrocarbon-bearing formations and can also migrate from adjacent formations. Global produced water volumes are estimated at over 100 billion barrels per year. Produced water is chemically complex, saline, heterogeneous, and can contain toxic substances and process chemicals. Common management practices for produced water include reuse in enhanced oil recovery, surface disposal, underground injection, and beneficial use. More research is needed to improve treatment technologies and develop more sustainable management methods for the large volumes of produced water.
The document discusses issues around produced water from energy development and opportunities for water reuse. It notes that produced water volumes can be significant, especially from unconventional sources like coal bed methane. While fracking uses a small percentage of total water, agricultural use is much larger. Produced water reuse projects could help address water shortages, but regulatory hurdles around water rights and discharge standards must be overcome. Treatment technologies are improving and customized approaches may enable wider reuse of produced water in the future.

Upgrading bilge water systems on vessels delivered 2010‐12 by Viking Supply S...Clean Ship Scandinavia AB
There is often a lack of connection between owner and yard when installing bilge water technologies which can lead to increased operating costs.
Viking Supply Ships AS is currently upgrading the bilge water system on several vessel built in 2010-2012. The system was going into re-circulation too often frustrating the crew and causing discharge problems. A ’Clean bilge water tank’ will be installed in addition to settling tanks and a heating system. Niclas Karlsson, Managing Director of Clean Ship Scandinavia assisted Viking Supply AS in assessing their technologies options.
There are several different technologies available for treatment of bilge water and there are big differences in price. For new-buildings the yards are always looking for the lowest price and not to the performance , operational cost or if the separator could handle a chemical emulsion. Many new vessel designs have implemented IBTS, Integrated Bilge water Treatment System, but there is a lack of experience and know-how regarding the set-up.

Parker Hannifin - TwinZapp: Treating oil in water (OIW) emulsions for
discharge to sea.
The increasing water cut in mature fields and tightening regulations are the main drivers for the growing challenge of treating oil in water emulsions. In addition, the industry is creating more emulsions in novel applications such as Fraccing (Fracking), Well Deliquification, and Alkali Surfactant Polymer water as used in Enhanced Oil Recovery.
Installed treatment equipment often relies on time and gravity as the main forces for separation of water and hydrocarbons (Stokes’ law). For chemically stable emulsions these forces are not sufficient.
Parker Twin Filter has developed a technology based on its already extensive product line and experience in treating oilfield waste water. It uses the proven technology of electrical oxidation but uses this in a novel way to clean up water in a three step process.
The process is fitted on two mobile skids as an end-of–pipe solution. The input is water from the near atmospheric skimmer tank, the output is water which can be discharged to sea without further processing. The skids are self-sufficient, ATEX zone 2 certified, and only require electrical power and work air. It does not need regular attention from operators or specialists
because the output of NTU is monitored by sensor technology.
The process is now available as a commercial product or service offering after thorough field trials in 2012 and 2013. This white paper details a case study with GDF Suez E&P in which this operator increased gas production significantly through the use of TwinZapp. TwinZapp skid

The lifecycle of developed fields, onshore and offshore will go through different stages of production up to the decline into late field life. Effective reservoir engineering management will lead to prolonging the life of field if a cost effective processing surface facilities strategy is put in place. Factors that lead to the decline in oil production or increase in OPEX may include increased water production, solids handling and the need for relatively higher compression requirements for gas lift. In order to maintain productivity and profitability, an effective holistic engineering approach to optimizing the process surface facilities must be utilized. The challenges of Optimizing Mature Field Production are: 1. Reservoir understanding with potential definition of additional reserves 2. Complete re-appraisal of the operability issues in the production facilities 3. Develop confidence to invest to optimize the process handling capabilities and capacity 4. Low CAPEX simplification of the surface facilities infrastructure to meet challenges 5. An implementation plan that recognizes the ‘Brownfield’ complexities 6. Selection of suitable optimum technology, configuration and training 7. Optimum upgrade plan of the facilities with minimum production losses Successful operation of mature fields and their surface facilities requires successful change management to the new operating strategy. Using a holistic approach can maximize the full potential of mature processing facilities at a manageable CAPEX and OPEX.
