Surface Production Operations (Vol. 2)

Maurice I. Stewart

Description

Surface Production Operations (Vol. 2) provides a comprehensive and practical guide to the design and operation of gas-handling, conditioning, and processing facilities. It covers essential topics such as gas-liquid separation, gas sweetening, gas dehydration, hydrate prevention, condensate stabilization, and natural gas processing. The book connects fundamental theory with real-world application, offering design equations, detailed charts, tables, and industry standards (including ASME and API codes).
