e. The Closed-in Tubing Head Pressure (CITHP) is less than 1,440 Psig
f. The well has a GOR greater than 0 SCF/Barrel


2. A reciprocating pump with a rated Head/pressure of 100 Barg, is connected to a 12” x 35km export pipeline. During the pump/pipeline pre-commissioning inspection, an ANSI 16.5 flange of the following configuration was found (via measurement) installed upstream of the pipeline pig launcher:

6. During the operation of a newly installed 3-Phase Oil, Gas, Water separator connected to a knock-out vessel and flare, persistent high level and liquid carryover to flare was observed. As an engineer, identify at least 5 potential CAUSES that could result in this deviation.


7. A new Marginal field Operator is located 250m away from an existing Natural Gas Pipeline. The gas pressure in the pipeline is 30 Barg. The Marginal field is mostly non-associated gas but they have one dual completed well with a combined tested capacity of 3,000 BOPD, GOR of 1200 SCF/Barrel, FTHP 1,650 Psig, FLP 700 Psig. What surface production configuration would you advise for adoption to minimize or possibly eliminate compression power and costs to enable timely injection of gas sales through the existing pipeline i.e. minimize flaring and generate early revenue?
