GAS COMPRESSION AND FLOW METERING OUTLINE
Overview of Gas Compression
Field gas compression systems.
- Inlet gas compression prior to treating.
- Outlet gas compression prior to export pipeline.
- Compression for gas lift, gas gathering, condensate recovery, transmission & distribution, gas re-injection & pressure maintenance.
Type of Compressor
Positive-displacement or intermittent flow and continuous flow units.
- Reciprocating compressors.
- Rotary positive-displacement and centrifugal compressors.
- Axial and mixed-flow compressors.
- Comparison between compressors and compressor selection.
Basics and Performance of Gas Compression
