Most field compressors for natural gas are the reciprocating piston type.  Name the basic components.

Filter separators are better able to handle small-sized liquid or solid particles than are conventional separators.

The most common accomplishment of field processing is the separation of the well-stream gas from ______________________.

A long-nose choke has an extended body that allows the choke orifice to be located within the indirect heater __________________________.

Supercharging an engine will cause it to burn fuel less efficiently.

The charcoal test of natural gas is an absorption process.

Basic producing equipment includes (1) the pipes that transports the gas, (2) the valves that starts and stop the flow, (3) the gauges and thermometers that measure the gas ____________________.

Gas has greater displacement drive than water, thus making depletion drives more effective.

Hydrocarbon pore volume may be expressed in cubic feet, barrels, or acre-feet (the volume of liquid or solid required to cover 1 acre to a depth of 1 foot).

Determining a well’s back-pressure relationship, as described on pages 28 and 29 of your text, makes it possible to analyze many operating problems and to predict future behavior of a well. (Back-pressure behavior consists of the daily rate of a well’s delivery contrasted with the pressure drop within its reservoir.)
