Reducing Oil & Gas Lost and Unaccounted for Production
In oil & gas production, lost and unaccounted for (LUAF) production is: …the difference of the physical inputs and the physical outputs of the pipeline system… A "LOSS" occurs whenever the physical inputs are greater than outputs of the pipeline system. Flow...
Advances in Oil and Gas Produced Fluids Multiphase Measurement
It's encouraging to see the comeback in shale oil & gas production here in the U.S. Oil & gas producers have made great strides in lowering the costs of drilling, hydraulic fracturing & completion and ongoing well pad production. A recent CPI Financial...
Multiphase Flow Measurement for Oil and Gas Well Pads
In oil and gas production well pads and offshore platforms, separators perform the work of breaking out the oil, gas and water into separate component streams. Test separators have historically taken flows from individual wells, known as well tests, to determine the...
Regulations for the Oil and Gas Industry: Reduce your Methane Emissions with Emerson
This month, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced new rules for minimizing and reducing emissions on well pads. This is the first push to reduce emissions from methane – particularly targeting the oil and gas industry. These new standards also built upon...
OTC 2016-Flow Assurance
Successfully and economically getting oil and gas from the reservoir to the point of sale is known as flow assurance. Wikipedia defines it as: …extremely diverse, encompassing many discrete and specialized subjects and bridging across the full gamut of engineering...
Offshore Technology Conference 2016: HPC010 Extends Chemical Injection Metering to 15,000 psi
Offshore developments continue to get deeper and hotter, challenging the pressure ratings on surface equipment from the drilling rig floor to the production facilities. High injection pressures can be particularly hard on the pumps and flow control used in chemical...
Offshore Technology Conference 2016—Examine your Chemical Injection System
Take a moment and ask yourself: How much does my company spend every year on chemicals? For most, chemical injection is a sunk cost of production–it's a cost that's hard to tackle because few of us are chemists. Both the dosage of chemical and the amount spent on...
Improving Precision in Product Blending with Micro Motion Flow Meters
The negative effects of measurement uncertainty have always been acknowledged, but recent increases in governmental regulation and tighter specifications makes it even more essential to find solutions that improve precision. Downgrading or reblending after the fact...
Advantages of Micro Motion Fork Density Meter for Improving Sand Separator Functionality
In processing operations, liquid separators collect sand in a lower chamber, filtering out sediment from the oil or gas. Typically, sand accumulates slowly over time, and is eventually emptied from the bottom chamber. But problems can arise if excessive sand clogs the...
Quality and Value are the Result when Extra Time and Effort is put into Flowmeter Production
You need a flowmeter that works wherever oil & gas operations happen. Micro Motion meters are built to provide measurement you can trust, in all conditions. Extreme conditions are a fact of life in oil & gas. In this brief Ask the Experts video, we describe...
7 Ways Micro Motion F-Series Meters Increase Accuracy and Reduce Costs
Accurate measurement remains one of the major challenges in gas allocation, as traditional technology falls short in supplying low maintenance, reliable measurement. Micro Motion F-Series meters are designed specifically as the solution to this too common issue. This...
