Oil Well Pad Facilities (for non-Facilities Engineers)
A practical overview of onshore oil well pad facilities in shale and tight oil developments, concentrating on what the facilities do, why and how, rather than detailed engineering. A central theme is how pad facilities connect with the wells and subsurface, helping non-specialists work more effectively with facilities teams.
