Abstract: It is unfortunate that reservoirs which produce natural gas normally contain water. This water can, and often does, cause severe penalties to be suffered by the gas industry to its detrimental effects on operations beginning at the wellhead and throughout the transmission system to its final destination at the market. Water is probably the most common undesirable and detrimental impurity contained in a gas stream. There is no doubt that adequate dehydration as soon as it is economically feasible will increase the efficiency of over all gas industry operations. It is however, still questionable by producers and transporters of natural gas as to how, where, and to what degree this water should be removed. In the case of offshore production it may be possible, but not probable, that the dehydration process would be more economically performed on shore. Offshore facilities should be adequate to reduce the basic sediments and water to less than 1 percent in the condensate. To my knowledge, this rarely happens.
