Equipment
Part II Design and

Selection

The role of a petroleum production engineer is to maximize oil and gas production in a cost-
effective manner. Design and selection of the right equipment for production systems is essential for
a production engineer to achieve his or her job objective. To perform their design work correctly,
production engineers should have thorough knowledge of the principles and rules used in the
industry for equipment design and selection. This part of the book provides graduating production
engineers with principles and rules used in the petroleum production engineering practice. Materials
are presented in the following three chapters:
Chapter 9 Well Tubing 9/109
Chapter 10 Separation Systems 10/117
Chapter 11 Transportation Systems 11/133
