OGMP 2.0 Purging and Venting TGD

Venting is the intentional release of gas (or methane-containing vapors) to the atmosphere, typically required by the design, operation, construction and commissioning, or maintenance of the equipment.

View

OGMP 2.0 Oil Well Casinghead TGD

Casinghead gas is gas that evolves off of crude oil when it flows into a lower pressure through well casing perforations and collects in the annular space between the casing and tubing in an oil well.
