Testing the composition oil, gas and produced water and basic sediment from oil & gas wells has traditionally required test separators. For offshore platforms and onshore well pads with multiple wells, this has meant complex manifolds and valves to route the...

Integrated Oil and Gas Well Testing
Testing the composition of oil, gas, basic sediment and water has historically been a batch-type operation where the flow from a single well has been diverted from a header leading to the production separator over to a test separator. These components are measured in...
Improving Capital Efficiency in Well Pad Automation
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...
Improving Oil and Gas Production Separation
One of the most basic functions in an oil and gas production process is the separation of the oil, gas, basic sediment, and water. The production separator handles this function. This separation step in the process allows the flow or production rate of the individual...
Effective Oil and Gas Separator and Heater Treater Measurements
Going back to 1980s when I worked on offshore oil & gas production projects, it seemed that well test measurements could be a tricky business. Even with today's technologies, the increase in unconventional oil & gas production continues to make well test...
Multiphase Metering 101 by Roxar and Rosemount
Emerson's Svein Erik Gregersen and John Goetz discussed oil & gas multiphase metering. Their abstract: For over 20 years, Roxar has delivered innovative multiphase (oil, gas, and water) flow measurement solutions to offshore & subsea oil and gas customers....
New Norwegian Oil & Gas Flow Loop Facility
The news is out today of Emerson's opening of a new flow loop facility, in Stavanger, Norway. This facility is part of the Roxar brand of products and services which serve the oil & gas industry with advanced technology for production optimization, production...
Real-Time Well Testing on Unmanned Offshore Oil and Gas Platforms
If you'll be joining us next week at the Emerson Exchange conference in Stuttgart, Germany and in the offshore oil & gas production business, there's a presentation you'll want to catch. Emerson's Jyotsna Joshi, with the Roxar Flow Measurement (RFM) team, will be...
Importance of Flow Measurement for Separators
Hi, I'm Lee Rumbles and today we're going to explore the importance of flow measurement in the oil and gas separation process. Understanding what's truly going on in your process is a key to success. Without this insight it's difficult to tell – are we maximizing...
Process Optimization Opportunities for Upstream Oil and Gas Producers
We've shared many stories of process optimization situations and opportunities on this blog. I caught up with Emerson's Mark Coughran, whom you may recall from many process optimization-related posts. Mark noted that upstream oil and gas producers also have...
