  • Bocas de pozo y separación

    La boca de pozo proporciona la interfaz estructural y la presión que contiene para el equipo de perforación y producción. El control de la presión superficial es proporcionado por un ensamble de válvulas con medidores y obturadores (árbol de Navidad), que se instala en la parte superior de la boca de pozo. Las válvulas de aislamiento y los equipos de obstrucción controlan físicamente el flujo de los fluidos del pozo cuando el pozo está en producción. Varios paquetes de automatización se añaden al monitor local o remoto, controlan y optimizan la producción de cada pozo o almohadilla de múltiples pocillos. Los separadores de campos petroleros emplean un recipiente a presión para separar así los fluidos producidos en los pozos de petróleo y gas en componentes gaseosos y líquidos que se transfieren a continuación a las tuberías o almacenamiento localizados en función de la infraestructura de las zonas.

  • Procesamiento y fraccionamiento

    El procesamiento de gas natural está diseñado para controlar el punto de condensación del flujo de gas natural y separar los líquidos de gas natural para la venta y distribución. La eliminación de petróleo y condensados, la eliminación de agua, la separación de líquidos de gas natural y la eliminación de azufre y dióxido de carbono son procesos que se emplean para separar las impurezas en el alimentador que proviene de los yacimientos aguas arriba. En el proceso de fraccionamiento se extraen los efluentes líquidos de la planta de procesamiento de gas, que pueden estar compuestos de metano, propano, butano y pentano, para ser tratados en columnas de fraccionamiento separadas, y posteriormente pueden pasar a una planta de tratamiento de impurezas antes de ser vendidos como componentes separados.
