Ann: Nomgon Pilot Flows Gas, page-211

Are you actually serious?

Show me a CSG wellsite that doesnt have infrastructure above ground...

The well-head attaches on top of the pipework at ground level and then all associated pipework and separator vessels are above ground. Heat tracing is accessible, flanges can be monitored/unbolted/spools taken out for service. Control valves and instruments mounted. Who would bury a pipe and then re-route that pipe 90degrees to the surface to install a valve or a transmitter for temp or pressure, then re-route the pipework underground again to run along to the next section?

Ive actually never heard something so ridiculous. Talk about doubling the cost of your wellpad install and materials. Adding in bends in CSG wells creates process flow changes of direction and high pressure erosion spots also.
