Detailed
description of topics:
The course consists of a number of modules covering
all process design aspects of gas and liquid processing offshore: high pressure
thermodynamics of multicomponent mixtures, gas hydrate forming and prevention, multiphase
production and transport, gas/liquid separation, pumps and compressors, auxiliary systems,
platform layout, safety considerations, most recent offshore technology developments,

Remarks
(specific information about assesment, entry requirements, etc.):
Open assessment: Working out and discussion of two
separate process design assignments Process design assignements are carried out by two or
more students depending on the size of the problem, and are mostly concentrated arround
the separation trein and the multiphase flow calculations for a situation from practice.
|
Goals:
The purpose is to confront students with specific
aspects of design of offshore installations for treatment and transport of natural gas
loaded with condensate.
|
Computer
use:
Rigorous calcu;lations are required which implies
the use of software packages developed commercially for simulation of separation processes
|
Laboratory
project(s): |
Design
content:
The basic design consideration here is the
development and quantification of the process flowsheet for given well conditions and
onshore delivery specifications for natural gas, including dimensioning of the pipelines
and separation equipment involved.
