Arnold Ken, Stewart Maurice. Design of Oil-Handling Systems and Facilities

Second Edition. Vol.1
Elsevier Science & Technology, Gulf Professional Publishing, 1999. 462 p.This text, which covers about one semester's work, presents the basic concepts and techniques necessary to design, specify, and manage oil field surface production facilities. It provides a clear understanding of the equipment and processes used in common separation and oil and water
treating systems, as well as the selection of piping and pumping systems.
We hope this will enable you to develop a "feel" for the important parameters of designing and operating a production facility. We also wish the reader to understand the uncertainties and assumptions inherent in designing and using the equipment in these systems and the limitations,
advantages, and disadvantages associated with their use.
