About the Rocky Mountain Pipeliners Club
• Formed in April 2015 to provide:– Networking Opportunities– Scholarships– Foster Education and Training
It is our belief that the most important commodity in our industry is our workforce. We serve our members and constituents in a number of
ways, but the club’s primary purpose is to provide scholarships to men and women looking to advance their careers through education. We differentiate ourselves in that we support licensed field workers as much or more than degreed professional
employees.

PROCESSING

PROCESSINGMidstream processing may be required to accommodate third party crude oil or natural gas specifications. This may include:
Midstream Crude Oil Processingo Oil / Water Separationo Crude Oil Polishing / Stabilization
Midstream Natural Gas Processingo Vapor-Liquid Separationo Dehydration (Glycol, Dry Desiccant)o Gas Sweetening
31
PROCESSINGMidstream Natural Gas Processing Vapor-Liquid Separation
o 3-Phase Separation: Gas / Hydrocarbon Liquid / Produced Watero Typical Equipment Slug Catcher – Knockout Bulk Liquids Vortex Separator – Knockout Fine
Liquids Coalescing Filters / Separators –
Knockout Fine Mists
1,000 bbl Slug Catcher Holms Mesa Compressor Station 32
PROCESSINGMidstream Natural Gas Processing Glycol Dehydration
o Gas Initially Saturated in Watero Counter-Current Flow of Glycol Gas Flows Up The Tower Glycol Flows Down The Tower
o Packed Bed or Trayso Operates @ High Pressure &
Temperature (>1,000 psig, 120 oF)o Reduce Water Content ~4 lbm H2O / MMSCF Gas
Glycol Dehydration System PetroWiki
33
PROCESSINGMidstream Natural Gas Processing Dry Desiccant Dehydration
o Remove More H2O Than GlycolDehydration - ~Low PPM Levels
o Desiccant Beds Must Be Regenerated
Desiccant System PetroWiki
34
PROCESSINGMidstream Natural Gas Processing Gas Sweetening
o Required for High Levels of H2S and CO2
o Three (3) Common Techniqueso Amine, SulfaTreat, UltraFab
Gas Sweetening - Amineo Similar Process to Dehydrationo Counter-Current Flowo Packed Bed or Trayso Gas Leaves Tower Saturated
in H2O
35
PROCESSINGMidstream Natural Gas Processing Gas Sweetening - SulfaTreat
o Physical Absorption (Iron Oxide)o Reacts with H2S to Form Pyriteo Once Chemical is Used, Must Be Replaced
Gas Sweetening - UltraFabo Flooded Tower – Triazine Reacts with H2So Once Chemical is Used, Must Be Replaced
SulfaTreat System West Compressor Station

Storage
37
BULK STORAGEThere are various types of bulk storage equipment / methods utilized in Midstream. Liquids
o Atmospheric Storage API 650 Bulk Storage Tanks – Fixed Roof, Floating Roof (Internal / External), 500
Bbl to 350+ MBbl API 12F Bulk Storage Tanks – Fixed Roof, 90 Bbl to 750 Bbl Typical
o Pressurized Storage Bullet Tanks – 18,000 gallon to 90,000 gallon Pressurized Spheres – 1,000 to 75,000 Bbls
Natural Gaso Underground Storage – Salt Caverns, Mines, Acquifers, Depleted Reservoirs,
Hard-Rock Caverns
38
BULK STORAGEAtmospheric Storage API 650 & 12F Fixed Roof Tanks
o Maximum Internal Pressure of 2.5 psig
o Tanks Must Breath During Normal Operations
o 500 Bbl to 350+ MBbl
Douglas Rail Facility, Douglas WY140,000 Bbl API 650 Tanks
39
BULK STORAGEAtmospheric Storage API 650 External Floating Roof Tanks
o Used for Low Vapor PressureProducts (i.e. Crude Oil)
o Minimal Vapor Losseso Roof Floats on Liquid Surfaceo Open Roof so Rain & Snow Can
Accumulate
40
BULK STORAGEAtmospheric Storage API 650 Internal Floating Roof Tanks
o Combination of Fixed and FloatingRoof Design
o Minimal Vapor Losseso Roof Floats on Liquid Surfaceo External Roof Prevents
Accumulation of Precipitation onFloating Roof
41
BULK STORAGELiquid Storage - Pressurized Bullet Tanks
o ASME Section VIIIo High Vapor Pressure Products
o Natural Gas Liquids (“NGL”)’so Refined Products
o No Breathing Requiredo 18,000 to 90,000 gallono 250 psig @ 125 oF
Pressurized Sphereso 1,000 – 75,000 Bbl
