This short article will provide basic information about petroleum production engineering and the process that have been involved. Complete oil and gas production system consists of reservoir, well, flow line, separators pump and transportation pipeline. Figure below will clearly shows the process of the petroleum production from reservoir to the transportation pipeline.
The reservoir supplies well bore with crude oil or gas, the well will provide a path to the production fluid to flow from the bottom hole to surface and offers a means to control the fluid production rate, and the flow line leads the produced fluid to separators. The separators will separate the water and gas from the crude oil. Pumps and compressors will use to transport oil and gas through pipeline to the shore for refinery.
