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...
For onshore oil & gas production well pads, effectively managing and recovering vapors means improving emissions control to meet regulatory requirements, increasing saleable natural gas, and providing a safer work environment for the personnel who manage the well...
For onshore oil & gas producers, squeezing every expense possible from the production and custody transfer process means the difference between flowing and shutting in the wells. In an RBN Energy post, LOE-Down - Understanding Lease Operating Expenses And How They...
For onshore oil & gas producers, how accurate are your measurements from allocations at the wellhead to custody transfer? In a recorded webinar, Produced Fluids Management – Getting Paid for What you Produce, Emerson's Michael Machuca describes the financial gains...
While the news of an OPEC oil freeze increases prices, at least in the short term, they remain well below their levels of a few years ago. The focus for oil and gas producers remains on optimizing their current producing wells at the expense of new drilling. Emerson's...
Author: Michael Machuca Management of well pad inventory, allocation and custody transfers encompasses multiple operations that contribute to overall production management uncertainty. The accumulated measurement errors and variability in operations within a storage...
Where new production was once the major focus, optimizing existing oil & gas well pads and production facilities is now high on the priority list to reduce operating costs. In an American Oil & Gas Reporter article, Production Optimization: 'Systems' Approach...
As oil prices have remained lower for many months, many oil & gas producers have shifted their priorities from new production to optimizing existing production and reducing operating costs with the assets currently in place. In the quick, 2-minute video,...
A colleague pointed me to an article with an in depth analysis on the reasons behind the drop in oil price over the past several months. This economic climate makes oil & gas production project and operational efficiency even more important. At last summer's...
As global oil prices decline, the need to produce onshore oil and gas from well pads more efficiently grows. In series of Well Pad Automation Webinars, one of the webinars addressed how to ensure production measurement compliance, control emissions and optimized...
As technologies such as horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing have advanced, so has the number of multi-well pad sites and the need for standardized process automation and instrumentation. The goal of these automation technologies is to help bring first...
