E Arnold, RE Houston, Texas Maurice I Stewart, Ph.D., RE Metairie, Louisiana xiv CHAPTER 7 Overview of Gas-Handling Facilities * The objective of a gas-handling facility is to separate natural gas, condensate, or oil and water from a gas-producing well and condition these fluids for sales or disposal This volume focuses primarily on conditioning natural gas for sales Gas sweetening, the removal of. .. Volume I: Design of Oil-Handling Systems and Facilities, it does present the basic concepts and techniques necessary to select, specify, and size gas-handling, -conditioning, and -processing equipment This volume, which covers about one semester's work or a two-week short course, focuses on areas that primarily concern gas-handling, -conditioning, and -processing facilities Specific areas included are .
