After wells are successfully drilled and completed, the fluid produced must be transported to a facility where it is separated into oil, water, and gas; conditioned to meet process input requirements; treated to remove impurities such as H2S, CO2, H2O, and solids; and refined or stored for eventual sales. Fig. 1.1 is a simplified block diagram that illustrates the basic “wellhead to sales” concept. The diagram begins with the wellhead choke which is used to control the rate of flow from each well. The fluid from the well travels through a flowline to the production facility where the fluid is separated, conditioned, treated, processed, measured, refined, or stored.
