2. In tabular format state two constituents of a typical reservoir fluid and the
respective treatment the reservoir fluid will be required to undergo due to
their presence ( water, co2 h2s inert gases, sediments,
dehydration/desalting, sweetening, filtration)
Egbin requires gas at 10 0C water dew point at 70 bars how many gallons of
glycol per day will be employed to dehydrate this gas at NGC plant if this
glycol will be circulated at 2.5 gallons per pound of water removed. NGC
wants to get the gas out at 5 0C below Egbin water dew point to cater for
possible frictional pressure losses for the 450 km journey.
