Product Description
Review
"As a Process Engineer, working in both operations and design in the upstream oil industry, it is pleasing to find a text that finally covers all the unit operations you are likely to encounter in oil processing. The book is an easy read that doesn't get weighed down in first principles. This means that you can quickly get the information you require and have confidence in your decisions. It's a must for anyone working in the industry, especially those who may be offshore, I always have my copy with me." - Ed Pickering

First Sentence
The job of a production facility is to separate the well stream into three components, typically called "phases" (oil, gas, and water), and process these phases into some marketable product(s) or dispose of them in an environmentally acceptable manner. Read the first page

Surface Process Equipment, 14 Jun 2000
By Richard Marcano Echeverría - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Surface Production Operations, Volume 1:: Design of Oil-Handling Systems and Facilities (Hardcover)
This book is very useful for both Process and non process engineers working in the field and finding all kinds of surface equipment. The relation between the equipment is also very important while customer advising because process engineering in Latin America is kind of a game each one plays by his own criteria and having a great weakness on equipment availability. Lets say that general rules does not apply, but with the guidance of this book is very easy to understand why things happen and how decisions affect production fields operations.
