The RBN Energy blog is a must read for those in the oil & gas upstream, midstream and downstream industries as they analyze the trends and global dynamics impacting companies. Posts such as The Flows They Are A-Changin’ – Westward Natural Gas Flows Into Texas On The Rise describe the flow reversals in natural gas […]
Authors: Rossella Mimmi and Dave Seiler In part one of our series, Surge Relief for Oil and Gas Liquids Pipelines, we provided background on surge conditions in pipelines transporting liquids, their effects on pipelines and why these effects matter to pipeline operators. We’ll conclude this two-part series with a closer look at ways to prevent […]
Authors: Rossella Mimmi and Dave Seiler Petroleum commodity releases can have serious consequences, so ensuring pipeline integrity is crucial for operators. Pipeline integrity is not just about preventing incidents, but is a holistic approach to the prevention, detection, and mitigation of these undesired commodity release such as surge. In this two-part series, we will provide […]
In an earlier post, I recapped a podcast on ultrasonic flow meters and their use in custody transfer applications. Gerard Hwang and Dave Seiler, at Emerson’s Daniel Measurement and Control business shared an interesting energy analysis with me. It was an energy calculation for various flow measurement technologies in a liquid (oil tanker) loading application. […]
Here’s a story about a portable high-flow petroleum pipeline-proving rig. If you’re in the oil & gas production, refining, or distribution business, I probably don’t need to define what this is. For the rest of us, a prover: …is used for rapid, accurate calibration of a wide range of flow measurement technologies. Applications range from […]
