Oil separators perform a crucial task in upstream petroleum operations, but process control instability can cause product losses and downstream equipment fouling. One facility in Canada faced serious reliability issues with its oil separator, significantly reducing...
The L2t Liquid Level Controller solution is straightforward and inexpensive to install in existing oil separator vessels, and it significantly reduces maintenance and lost production costs, especially compared to level switch solutions. It is also emission free, a significant improvement over systems using natural gas as a motive force.
With advances in operational analytics, smart instruments and the applications they feed can now help identify problems in the process early in order to maintain optimum performance levels. I caught up with Emerson’s Drew Baker in the Permian Basin Service Center to share some onshore oil & gas production examples with me.
Author: Lee Rumbles The separation process in upstream holds the key to maximizing oil and gas production. We've explored the importance of flow measurement for separators, now let's examine ways in which these flow points can be optimized so they help achieve your...
