USING HEAT FROM PRODUCED FLUIDS OF OIL AND GAS OPERATIONS TO PRODUCE ENERGY
摘要
The instant invention pertains to new processes and apparatuses which can effectively and efficiently convert heat contained in wellhead fluids comprising hydrocarbons to a useful energy source like electricity. The process generally comprises first producing a heat containing fluid comprising one or more hydrocarbons from a wellhead and then passing said heat containing fluid to one or more heat exchangers. The one or more exchangers exchange at least a portion of the heat contained in said heat containing fluid to a working fluid thereby producing a heated working fluid capable of converting energy.
