This unit comprises two parts—petroleum fluids; and process engineering. The first part covers properties of natural gases; properties of crude oils; fluid phase behaviour; vapour—liquid equilibria; equations of state—theory; equations of state—applications; PVT laboratory experiments; petroleum fluid characterisation; petroleum product specifications; surface separations; introduction to HYSYS process modelling software; H2O/hydrocarbon phase behaviour; and introduction to PVT phase behaviour software.<br/><br/>The second part includes design of two-phase and three-phase oil and gas separators; crude oil treating systems; emulsion formation and control; produced water treating systems;... -- Course Website
