Progress & Prosperityto Gathering Centers. The wellhead is madeup of an assembly of valves and fittings thatcan control the amount of crude oil that isproduced from the well. Wellheads are madeof a special type of metal. They are heavyand high-pressured to support the weight ofthe tubing in the well.Pipeline and Manifolds for oil and gas:A manifold is an accessory system of pipesand lines that extend along an area to carrygas, liquefied gas and crude oil to the variousfacilities and installations in the Company. Amanifold is a center for a number of pipelinesthat control the flow of oil and gas withthe ability to separate them during maintenance.Oil Gathering Centers:Gathering Centers are installations where oil isseparated from high and low pressure gases.The two types of gases are then transferredto gas booster stations. Each Gathering Centerreceives oil from a number of wells, determinedaccording to the size and productioncapacity of the Center. Most GatheringCenters accommodate 30 wells at least. Eachone of the wells is distinguished from oneanother in terms of pressure, amount of saltfound, production method used and depth.Gas Booster Stations:The gas which is separated in Gathering Centersis sent to these stations, then it is compressedand transmitted to the petroleumcondensation plant. Before gas is transferredto the refineries it passes through a water removalsystem.Under high and low pressure, liquefied petroleumgas is produced. The gas passes24
through the water removal plant a secondtime and is transferred to refineries in Shuaiba.Water Injection:A method of re-injecting effluent or surpluswater into the earth’s high-pressure reservoirs.The internal pressure of the well canbe maintained or dispose of produced waterinto reservoirs allocated for this purpose byusing this method.Gas Injection:A method of re-injecting surplus gas into theearth’s high-pressure reservoirs. The internalpressure of the well can be maintained by usingthis method.Steam Injection:Similar to the method used in gas injectionand is used to maintain production.Manifold where oil from Gathering Centersis combined:Gathering Centers pipeline converge at themain manifold. A manifold connects betweenthe crude oil system and the oil tankfarms.Tank Farms:A group of tanks to collect and store thecrude before the transfer to the loading facilitiesfor export. There are a total of 56tanks, 24 in the North Tank Farm and 22 inthe South Tank Farm with a total storage capacityof about 16 million barrels.2- Export Pipelines:Oil is exported from the South Tank Farmthrough pipelines. It flows through a grav-25
