In many parts of the world, technologies to open shale formations for oil and gas production have yielded vast quantities of natural gas. The liquefaction process makes it practical to ship liquefied natural gas (LNG) across the globe. In a SmartBrief article,...
In this 27-minute YouTube presentation video, Custody Transfer Measurement and Calibration Round Robin Testing for Natural Gas with Coriolis Meter, Emerson's Marc Buttler explains Coriolis meter calibration process and Piece Wise Linearization (PWL). His discussion...
Tank gauging is the process of measuring liquids in storage tanks to determine the volume and mass of the liquid. Typically, these measurements include level, temperature and pressure. A new user guide, The Engineer's Guide To Tank Gauging is available to request for...
Gas chromatographs (GCs) are used in natural gas custody transfer applications. They provide information on the gas quality and composition—with components such as methane, ethane and heavier hydrocarbons, water vapor, carbon dioxide, nitrogen and hydrogen sulfide....
Onshore oil & gas well pads have long used small lease tanks to hold the crude oil before transferring to be hauled away, typically by crude hauling trucks. Traditionally, this custody transfer process has involved operators climbing up the lease tanks, opening...
Flow measurement is critical in fiscal measurement applications from custody transfer to allocations between parties. The choice of technologies is broad and dependent on the fluid being measured and properties of the application. In an Applied Automation article,...
Natural gas liquids (NGLs) are composed of many hydrocarbons including ethane, propane, butane, pentane and natural gasoline. Measuring the volume of this hydrocarbon mixture required for its sale is challenging because of the impact of pressure, temperature and how...
Managing produced oil & gas fluids go through the phases of allocation royalty, centralized processing, tank management and transfers. The opportunities for inaccuracies and losses can be quite high. At the 2016 Offshore Technology Conference, Emerson's Jody...
Managing produced fluids in the age of shale oil and gas production has opened up some new challenges compared with the days of traditional reservoir production. I caught up with Emerson's Michael Machuca. He noted that while global oil prices were high, shale...
Author: Sachin Tere Product and custody transfer applications are spread across the oil and gas industry, from the fields to the refineries, to transport vessels to storage tanks and terminals. Here are some problems that hinder you from achieving efficiency in fluid...
Emissions, safety, and workforce dynamics all are of importance to ethylene producers all over the world. But perhaps two of the foremost concerns are regarding efficiency and cost reduction. Custody transfer and optimized steam-to-hydrocarbon ratio have been...
This May, the world's largest closed loop for high-pressure calibration of gas meters opened at Force Technology in Vejen, Denmark. The facility's purpose is to calibrate all types of gas meters that measure or settle gas types (natural gas), including: Turbine meters...
