Gas Condensates

The Gas Condensate from the high pressure separator flows through a throttling control valve to a low pressure separator. The reduction in pressure accross the control valve causes the condensate to undergo a partial vaporization referred to as Flash Vaporization.The raw natural gas from the low pressure separator is sent to a “booster” compressor which raises the gas pressure and send it through a cooler.

The South Pars/North Dome field is a natural-gas condensate field located in the Persian Gulf. It is by far the world’s largest natural gas field.[1] Iran and Qatarshare ownership of the field.[2][3] According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the field holds an estimated 1,800 trillion cubic feet (51 trillion cubic metres) of in-situ natural gas and some 50 billion barrels (7.9 billion cubic metres) of natural gas condensates.[4] On the list of natural gas fields it has more recoverable reserves than all other fields combined. It has significant geostrategic influence.[5]
