From Feed to Product

How the Process Connects

A simplified view of the main processing steps from raw feed to specification product or treated water.

  1. Raw Gas
  2. Separation — remove free liquids
  3. Sweetening — remove H₂S & CO₂
  4. Dehydration — remove water
  5. Hydrocarbon Recovery / Conditioning — recover liquids / meet specification
  6. Compression — where required
  7. Sales Gas

Steps are selected for each project to suit the gas composition, operating pressure and sales-gas specification.

  1. Crude & Condensate
  2. Separation — remove gas & free water
  3. Dehydration / Water Removal — heater treating
  4. Desalting — where required
  5. Stabilisation — reduce light ends & vapour pressure
  6. Export / Storage Product

Steps are selected for each project to suit the feed properties and the storage or export specification.

  1. Produced Water — separated from the wellstream
  2. Bulk Oil Removal — hydrocyclone / CPI
  3. Flotation — IGF / DAF
  4. Polishing — filtration, where required
  5. Reinjection / Disposal

Treatment stages are selected for each project to suit the water quality and the reinjection or disposal requirement.
