🛢️🔥 Anomaly Term of the Day: Gas Hydrate Formation 🚧❄️ Industry: Oil & Gas Gas hydrate formation refers to the process where natural gas molecules combine with water under specific conditions of low temperature and high pressure, forming solid crystalline structures known as gas hydrates. In gas processing facilities, natural gas separation from other components often involves cooling and depressurization. If water is present in the gas stream or introduced during the process, hydrate formation can occur in pipelines, valves, or other equipment, causing operational disruptions and safety hazards. #oilandgas #refinery

We're kicking off the week with a look into gas treatment! In the November 2023 issue of LNG Industry, Ralph H. Weiland, Optimized Gas Treating, Inc., and Izak Nieuwoudt, Fractionation Research Inc., USA, describe the different factors that can affect tray efficiency and hydraulics.

Surface well testing oil calculation refers to the process of measuring the rate of oil production at the surface during a well test. This involves determining the volume of oil produced over a specific period of time, typically in barrels per day (bbl/day), through surface separators. The calculations account for factors such as oil flow rates, pressure, temperature, and the oil's properties (density, API gravity). It provides vital data on well productivity, reservoir characteristics, and helps in decision-making for field development and optimization. #PetroleumEngineering #OilAndGas #Energy #OilIndustry #GasIndustry #DrillingEngineering #UpstreamOilAndGas #DownstreamOilAndGas #EnergySector #OilField #EnergyInnovation #Hydrocarbons #OilAndGasExploration #EnergyEngineering #PetroleumGeology #ReservoirEngineering #EnergyResources #PetroleumIndustry #OilAndGasJobs #OilAndGasTechnology #oil #gas #welltest #industry #engineering #production #petroleum #fundamentals #OilAndGasSector #EnergyTransition #PetroleumProduction #EnergyManagement #PetroleumRefining #OilAndGasDrilling #EnergySolutions #OilAndGasField #PetroleumEngineeringLife #OilAndGasReservoirs #Sonatrach #aramco #OilAndGasInfrastructure #EnergyEfficiency #OilFieldServices #OilAndGasConsulting #OilAndGasSafety #EnergySustainability #OilAndGasMarkets #PetroleumTech #EnergyDevelopment #societyofpetroleumengineering #SPE #slb #Halliburton

Gas flaring has indeed played a significant role in the oil industry for over 160 years. Here's why: When oil is extracted from underground reservoirs, associated gas accumulates around it. This gas must be drawn off before drilling the oil to prevent sudden pressure increases that could lead to explosions. Flaring acts as a safety valve, reducing pressure and preventing accidents. Companies often flare gas for economic reasons, especially in remote locations. Though there have been many concerns raised about its health and environment effects, repurposing the use of gas in gas flaring has become a focus for organizations and countries. By finding innovative ways to capture, process, and utilize this previously wasted resource, we can create a more sustainable energy future. Whether through power generation, industrial processes, or other applications, repurposing gas flaring offers a path toward minimizing its impact and maximizing its value.

A jet pump completion design can be different depending on the well age, reservoir pressure, casing size, and ALS transition strategy. Here is an example of a typical jet pump tubing string that is installed when the well is still flowing up the casing. After this completion is RIH, the well will continue to flow to the surface (without the jet) for some more time. The jet pump is dropped and operated down the road, when production reaches lower magnitudes. #jetpump #oilandgas #productionengineering #petroleumengineering #energy

Lag Time A definite time interval is always required for pumping the samples from a particular depth to the surface where they can be collected. When determined, This critical time interval is called “Drilling lag time” and can be measured in terms of pump strokes and time. This lag applies to all downhole information, including formation cuttings and the fluids (gas, oil, and water) that they contain. #rasol_hazbavi #drilling #mudlogging

Indeed gas flaring has contributed significantly to Nigeria oil industry, but at what environmental cost. The impact of gas flaring may be beyond the immediate financial gains, especially for the local communities whose livelihoods are intertwined with the environment

Based in #Edmonton, now available in North & South America, the advanced Non-Radioactive ABBON3PM Multiphase Flow Meter. The metering section with TWINFLOW technology is a spool section with an inner cross-section fit to the flow rates at the location. The principle of operation is a combination of the following technologies: - Impedance readings from electrodes mounted in the measurement chambers . - Differential pressure measurement between a location upstream of the chamber and a location inside the chamber. - Velocity calculations from cross correlation of the time varying impedance signals. - Fluid pressure and temperature measurements. - A universal interpretation model that combines the above parameters to calculate the individual volume flow rates of oil, water and gas.
