AN BRIEF OVERVIEW OF OIL WELL PROCESSES.

The oil/gas industry is one of the most sophiscated operation where various anciliaries are employed to achieve their goals, and almost all areas of professional fields are involved in order to accomplish what is desirable.Its excellent gearing can not be overemphasied and on the sucessful completion of a drilling rig work , an installation of the well safety devices such as hydraulic packers,surface control subsurface valves (scssv)and the surface safety valves (ssv) are installed for process protection.It is activated when the necessary storage has been provided,then the necessary process network will be enabled to produce and flow through the piping network .However before it may begin to flow a christmas tree has to be install on the well annulus which will be used to control the flow of hydro carbon to the surface reserviour.The making of crude oil requires series of steps.The well-head is therefore installed and as an assembly of valves for controlling the flow on the processes hence creates an enabling system to direct the flow of oil to the surface seperators where oil,gas and water is seperated.So each of the fluid will flow according to their energy level.
