Report forecast the global three-phase separator
market in the oil and gas industry to grow at a CAGR of 1.25% during the period
2016-2020.
Crude oil is of two types: sweet crude oil and sour
crude oil. Sweet crude is also referred to as light crude while sour crude is
referred to as heavy crude.
Based on composition, sweet or sour crude oil needs
to be refined using different methods and technologies. At the time of
production, crude oil stream consists of three-phase s, solid, liquid, and gas.
For transportation of crude oil, it is necessary to separate these phases. One
technology that provides early stage separation is a three-phase separator.
This separator enables refiners to go directly for refining as it provides
early stage separation of the crude oil.
A three-phase separator consists of a safety valve,
weir, level controller, and a heat exchanger. A safety valve provides
protection against undesirable pressure build-up. The weir inside the separator
maintains the oil level, and the level controller maintains the water level.
The oil is skimmed over the weir. The oil export valve operates the level of
the oil of the weir, which is controlled by a level controller. Constant vessel
pressure is maintained by gas flow out through a mist extractor to a pressure
control valve.
This gas flow stream then passes to a compressor,
which increases the pressure of the export gas, driven by a variable motor
speed. A heat exchanger acts as a cooling medium at the outlet side of the
compressor. The cooler is regulated by a temperature control loop. Also, an anti-surge
controller loop is installed to protect the compressor from entering a surge
condition.
The report covers the present scenario and the
growth prospects of the global three-phase separator market in the oil and gas
industry for 2016-2020. The report also presents the vendor landscape and a
corresponding detailed analysis of the top five vendors operating in the
market. The vendors included in the report are component manufacturers and
suppliers.
The market is divided into the following
segments based on geography:
- Americas
- APAC
- EMEA
According to the report, the refineries can now
procure cheaper oil and sell the refined petroleum products at higher margins.
To reduce operational costs, integrated oil and gas companies are adopting cost-effective
technologies to become lean and survive the oil price turmoil. One of the areas
to reduce cost is to shift the oil and gas separation to the beginning of the
value chain, just after its extraction.
Further, the report states that fluctuation in
crude oil prices is one of the major challenges faced by the market.
