Gas chromatographs analyze the composition of hydrocarbon mixtures in process and natural gas applications. For online natural gas chromatography, the samples must be reliably conditioned to produce a single-phase vapor. In this 5:42 YouTube video, How to Select a...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Given the presence of water in oil and gas producing wells, corrosion in the piping is a problem that must be mitigated. Producers inject chemicals into the production stream to minimize the oxidation process. The cost of these chemicals can have an impact on the...
Over the past several months we've been highlighting the recorded versions from the Well Pad Automation Webinar Series. These have included: Best Practices for Well Pad Automation Key Considerations for Improving Production Separation On the Level about Better Tank...
Emerson's Laura Schafer described how diagnostics in a Micro Motion Coriolis flow measurement in oil & gas production. Laura opened with the objective for oil & gas producers to maximize the return on investment. One way to do this is to take advantage of the...
