• At our arrival we were taken to the ADMIN BLOCK, where we were given a
presentation about The Site Plan, Field safety and Health measures etcetera
• We then left for the well # 06 which was producing crude oil with a well head
pressure of 1400 psi.
• There we saw the CHRISTMAS TREE AND ITS whole ASSEMBLY.

CHRISTMAS TREE:-
IT is an assembly which is installed at the the surface of the well to provide a
connection between the bottom hole and the surface.
it consists of:

VISIT TO LPG PLANT
After the Hi-tea we visited the LPG plant where the crude sample being
extracted from the wells was being processed.
There were different lines coming from different wells amongst which, one
was linked with Tando-Alam

For the separation OF THE CRUDE into different components there were different
units installed.

• SEPARATOR UNIT
• STABILIZER UNIT
• CHILLING UNIT
• OIL STORAGE TANKS
• LPG STORAGE TANKS

SEPARATOR UNIT:-
This unit separates the crude into Oil, water and Gas. Water from there was
being sent to some injection wells.
Same was the case with the Gas.
The remaining component of oil was then sent to the STABILIZER UNIT.

STABILIZER UNIT:-
First Unit for the Stabilization was the DE-ETHANIZER whose function was
to separate the lighter component of HC’s particularly Methane and
Ethane from the coming mixture with the help of

• High Temperature(280 Celsius)


• Low Pressure

DE-BUTANIZER
Here the heavier components of the mixture that are propane and
butane were being separated. Again with the help of
• High Temperature (700 Celsius approx)
• Low Pressure
CHILLING UNIT:-
Here Refrigeration Action takes place on the remaining mixture. Propane
is used as a refrigerant. The mixture, after chilling is sent to the 3rd
stabilization Unit.

○ OIL STORAGE TANKS

After the stabilization of the mixture in the 3rd stabilization unit. The
separated oil is led to the Oil Storage Tanks (wherefrom it is sent to
Boozers)

○ LPG STORAGE TANKS

The LPG components are stored separately in the LPG Storage Tanks.

POWER GENERATION UNIT:-


The power required to execute the different processes at the LPG Plant
was generated by separate POWER GENRATION UNIT installed within the
premises of the Field.
• Caterpillar Diesel Generator( 500 KW)
• Waukesha Gas Generator (400 KW)

The total production capacity of the plant was 1.2 Mega-W atts

FLARING OFF THE GASES:-


Due to low capacity of the storage of the gases
some quantity of the lower HC’s and waste gases
separated at the LPG Plant were led to the flare.
WAREHOUSE:
Within the premises of the plant there was a ware house where several
drilling,completion and production equipments were stocked which included:
• Single unit Christmas tree
• Multiple unit Christmas tree
• Permanent Packer
• Wireline Retrievable Packer
• Half mule shoe
• Perforated pipes
• Dead well tester
• Chicksan pipe
• Filters
• Pub Joint
• Drill Bit

LUNCH AT THE BASE-CAMP:-


• After the visit to the ware house, the students were taken to official mess
• Lunch was served
• After the lunch we relaxed in the TV room for almost an hour.

DEPARTURE:-
• At around 4:00 pm we started our journey back home.
• On the way back, we offered Asar and Maghrib Prayers
• We reached the campus at around 8:00 pm .

REFLECTION:-
The Trip proved to be very eventful and educational since it was our first
exposure to the practical
