Justification of the use of a supersonic separator at the Yu. Kuvykin gas condensate field

Abstract

The main trends in the advancement of technology for the development and operation of offshore fields can be called underwater production complexes, which are a system of technological blocks that allow the production and treatment of hydrocarbons on the seabed. This article covers the technology of gas condensate separation using a supersonic separator. This 3S separator is able to perform deep purification of gas condensate with the extraction of CO2 and H2S and can be installed on the shelf as part of an underwater production complex. We consider it possible to apply this technology at the Yu. Kuvykin gas condensate field, which has a positive impact on the realization of the field's resource potentials.
