Summary
-
1.
The scheme adopted for the development of oil fields in Western Siberia and Tyumen Oblast [Region], with crude oil degassing at the dewatering temperatures, does not ensure conservation of the light hydrocarbons remaining in the crude during its subsequent transport from the oil field to the process units and storage in oil terminals.
-
2.
For the utilization of light hydrocarbons a hot separation stage at temperatures on the order of 70–90°C must be included in the crude oil petreatment scheme.
-
3.
The installation of a hot separation stage for the crudes will considerably curtail the losses of light hydrocarbons, will increase the profitability of gas processing plants, and will make it possible to concentrate at a few points major resources of hydrocarbon raw material, with pipeline transmission of this material to petrochemical combines.
-
4.
The application of a hot separation stage in crude oil degassing will give a considerable simplification and cost reduction in crude oil pretreatment.
