THE DEVELOPMENT OF OIL AND GAS PRODUCTION GATHERING AND TRANSPORTATION TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

The oil production was started in 1945 to cover several small capacity oil fields and to expand in the forthcoming forty-five years to the wider area of the Northern Croatia. Significant exploration efforts and enthusiasm revealed perspective hydrocarbon layers on which a complex technological infrastructure was constructed (wells, technological systems, transportation systems) for the purpose of oil and gas production, its processing and transportation to refineries and consumers. In line with development of other technoligies in the world, the oil and gas production and gathering technologies in INA - Naftaplin were also up—graded, monitoring and adopting the most advanced world achievements in the field of oil and gas production. Presently applied technology ranks INA - Naftaplin among modernly organized (from the technical and technologica point of view) companies, engaged in the field of oil and gas production and processing (the paper is published in Croatian).
