In the process of oil and gas extraction, the oil/gas/water mixture is brought to the surface through well tubing. The mixture then passes through a separator, which removes the gas. With further processing the gas is transported to a gas purification plant where the various gas fractions are separated and purified.
The oil stream is further treated to remove the geological formation water that is extracted with the oil and gas. After separation from the oil, the formation water, also termed production water at this stage, is usually treated and discharged to the sea/ocean.
Sand and oily sludge from the reservoir are also removed during this treatment.
Solids deposit on the internal surfaces of the oil field extraction and production equipment, such as tubulars, other pipes, heat exchangers and pumps
