I am grateful to my colleagues in the industry for providing their valuable input and comments. The material has been compiled from various online resources, as well as ABB and customer documents. This book is by no means a complete description on the detailed design of any part of this process, and many details have been omitted in order to summarize a vast subject. The main focus of the book is still the upstream production process. I have had many requests that downstream processes be included, and have restructured the book into Upstream, Midstream, Refining and Petrochemical, adding basic information on these facilities. Little material was found to quickly give the reader an overview of the entire oil and gas industry, while still preserving enough detail to let the engineer have an appreciation of the main characteristics and design issues.

When we searched for a suitable introduction to be used for new engineers, I discovered that much of the equipment is described in standards, equipment manuals and project documentation. It is an overview of the main processes and equipment. Oil and gas production handbook An introduction to oil and gas production, transport, refining and petrochemical industry.Įta Betrand.

water curtains used in special situations to minimize radiant heat or disperse hydrocarbon vapors before ignition foam sprinkler systems used to supplement water spray systems and extinguish flammable liquid fires (see NFPA 16 for details) The following other special applications of water spray are outside the scope of this publication: The specifics of water spray system design, installation and component types are covered in the publications referenced in Section 2, principally NFPA 15, and are not duplicated in this publication.

This publication provides guidance for the petroleum industry and some petrochemical industry applications (for non-water-reactive petrochemicals with physical and combustion characteristics comparable to hydrocarbons) in determining where water spray systems might be used to provide protection from fire damage for equipment and structures.ĭamage to process equipment and structural steel also can be limited by fireproofing, applying water through manual hose streams or applying water from fixed or mobile monitor nozzles these methods are covered in API Recommended Practice 2218 Fireproofing Practices in Petroleum and Petrochemical Processing Plants, API Recommended Practice 2001 Fire Protection in Refineries and other referenced documents such as the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Fire Protection Handbook and various NFPA Codes. Water spray systems appear similar to sprinkler systems in some respects however, the intended uses, applicable Fire Codes and design criteria differ. When addressing loss prevention, an organization should consider the use of fixed fire protection systems, one of which is water spray systems.
