CO2 Surface Facilities

This course examines how carbon dioxide affects the selection and operation of separators, compressors, dehydrators and gas sweetening equipment. It is particularly relevant to those designing or operating enhanced oil recovery facilities that use carbon dioxide as a miscible agent, and covers the physical and thermodynamic behaviour of carbon dioxide and its mixtures.
