10/ 23/ 26 • The Impact of Gas Composition Variability on Equipment Performance
Gas Compositions Changing Over Time Natural gas from a wellhead will not have a constant composition throughout the life of the well. There will be varying levels of BTU content, NGL content, water vapor content and heavier hydrocarbons. So the gas coming from a well today may be completely different than what it was when first producing. When designing most surface equipment for field applications they are designed for one case of gas composition. When gas composition varies from your design case you will see issues throughout your surface equipment. Not meeting design parameters can cause loss of liquids, temperature…
