Field Operations Engineer 🖤💀⚙️ 🔥 The surface fluid preparation area consists of a series of special equipment that facilitates the mixing and treatment of the fluid. This area is made up of: the Chemist House, which is the place where the additives used in the preparation of the fluid to be used are stored. The Mixing Funnel, equipment used to add additives to the mud quickly. The chemical tank or barrel is equipment used to add liquid chemicals to the fluid to be prepared. The preparation of the fluid and its maintenance is carried out in the preparation area, which must be given crucial importance, since it is essential for the success of the operations. Bulk tanks allow the storage of large quantities of additives that can be added to the fluid quickly and in large quantities at a time. The tanks facilitate the handling of the fluid on the surface; Depending on their position in the preparation area, they can be: settling tanks (without agitation), in which the remaining solids, after passing through the vibrator, are decanted by gravity and separated from the rest of the system. Next is the treatment and agitation tank, where the fluid is treated through the funnel and the chemical tank; and finally there is the suction tank, which is where the fluid is kept in optimal conditions, ready to be sent to the well, sucked by the installation where the pumps are located. Apart from these tanks and away from them, there are the water tanks (or diesel in this case) and the fluid reserve tanks, useful when additional quantities of fluid are needed as a result of circulation losses in the well. The four main routines during fluid preparation are: 1. Initial Preparation. 2. Densification (increase in the weight or density of the fluid). 3. Dilution (reduction in the weight or density of the fluid). 4. Treatment/conditioning (changes in fluid chemistry). #oilgas #wellservices #professionalexperiences #engineering #ecuador #petroleumengineer #wellintervention #engineer #work #moments #worksafe #workhard #IADC #IWCF #PetroleumServices

Watermark Projects provide our clients with a comprehensive wastewater treatment service from initial specification through to installation & ongoing support. Step 1 – Initial Site Visit To determine the complete requirement and discuss various treatment options with the customer we’ll always undertake an initial site visit. While on site we’ll also take a sample of the wastewater for analysis (Step 2!). Step 2 – Effluent Sample Analysis A sample of the site specific wastewater is taken to be analysed. This includes the testing of various chemical treatment methods to determine which is the most effective. The samples are then sent for external Lab analysis to identify the potential removal rates with contaminants such as COD, Suspended Solids & Fats, Oils and Greases. Step 3 – Design and Specification With the information gained from Steps 1 & 2, our team will design a suitable treatment system. This could be from a simple 1 stage process such as pH Correction through to a complete Effluent Treatment Plant consisting of Balanced Aeration Tanks, Pre-Screening, Dissolved Air Flotation & Sludge Dewatering. Step 4 – Proposal & Review The design is then sent to the customer including a proposal for the supply & installation works.

TYPICAL FLARE INSTALLATION FOR CHEMICAL PROCESS ENGINEERS Flare is an essential system in any plant dealing with flammable fluids where the primary function of a flare is to use combustion to convert flammable, toxic, or corrosive vapors to less objectionable compounds. As a chemical process engineer in plant design, you will probably deal with or interface flare installation during your career. Selection of the type of flare and the special design features required are influenced by several factors, including the availability of space; the characteristics of the flare gas, namely, composition, quantity and pressure level; economics, including both the initial investment and operating costs; and public relations. Public relations can be a factor if the flare can be seen or heard from residential areas or navigable waterways. Other topographic considerations include elevations of land and neighboring land, elevations of equipment (especially where personnel might need to be present), and proximity to utility and electrical systems (e.g. electric lines or control wire runs). The designer needs to know these and other factors in the determination of noise, thermal radiation, liquid carryover, and vapor dispersion. For example, a flare near a hill or in a valley can be influenced by wind direction and downward turbulence. Note that flares are considered pollution-abatement equipment and are usually subject to environmental regulations and permitting requirements for their use and location. Flare design requires both API 537 and API 521.

Field Operations Engineer 🖤💀⚙️ 🔥Power Cable Pumping System BES/ESP Three-phase cables transmit electrical energy to the system. The conductors are solid or braided, and can have different diameters depending on the application required. Normally, for power supply, #1 cable is required, and the one for connecting to the motor is usually #5, #4, #6. Their configuration can be flat or round. It is known that round cables help eliminate the imbalance between phases. Their use depends on mechanical factors and diameters. They have mechanical protection by a casing. The cable is normally covered by a galvanized steel shield, although they are manufactured with monel shielding to counteract the attack of corrosive elements, such as hydrogen sulfide or corrosion. The insulation and cover are specially designed to resist the penetration of gases and water. The cable represents a considerable part of the total investment in the electric pumping unit and is designed and manufactured for different temperature conditions. Power Cable with Capillary Tube 🔥 Among the applications of the power cable in the ESP system, the industry currently has the option of installing the power cable with a capillary tube or 2 capillary tubes, which facilitates the injection of chemical products such as anticorrosives, diluents, antifoams, antiscale (incrustations) etc., from the surface. The design of the capillary tube is subject to the client's requirement and the geometry of the well, for example: ½", 1" capillary tube, etc. This option of using a capillary tube facilitates the operation, mainly when there is asphaltene formation, paraffins, incrustation formation, oil production with high water cut, heavy oils, etc. #oilgas #wellservices #professionalexperiences #engineering #ecuador #petroleumengineer #wellintervention #engineer #work #moments #worksafe #workhard #IADC #IWCF #PetroleumServices

#Dry_Gas_Seal_System_Centrifugal #Compressor We explain the topic simply. If you work in the world of compressors or even are interested in mechanical engineering, you will hear a lot about the "Dry Gas Seal" system, this system is considered one of the most important systems in centrifugal compressors because it helps to prevent gas leakage from the compressor efficiently. Using this system not only keeps the compressor from malfunctions, but also protects the environment from the leakage of hazardous gases. Dry sealing system in centrifugal compressor Dry Gas Seal System in Centrifugal Compressor #نظام_DryGasSeal #DryGasSealSystem The Dry Gas Seal system works on the idea that it prevents gas from leaking between the rotating and fixed parts inside the compressor. The idea is that instead of using sealing liquids, we use certain gases that are usually dry. Why is this important? Because liquids can cause problems and corrosion, dry gases reduce the possibility of damage and extend the life of the compressor. Dry Gas Seal System Components Components of the Dry Gas Seal System #مكونات_نظام_DryGasSeal #DryGasSealComponents This system consists of several basic parts, each of which has an important role in ensuring that the compressor works efficiently: (#Primary_Seal ) This is the main gas leak-proof part. (#Secondary_Seal ) It works as an extra level of protection if there is any problem with the primary seal. #نظام_التحكم_بالغازGas Control System) It distributes the dry gas used in the sealing process and maintains the required pressure. Why use the Dry Gas Seal system? Why Use Dry Gas Seal System? #استخدام_نظام_DryGasSeal #WhyDryGasSeal The big advantage of this system is that it reduces cost and maintenance because it does not experience the same problems that occur with systems that use liquids. Otherwise, it maintains compressor efficiency for longer periods and reduces unplanned downtime due to maintenance. The Dry Gas Seal system is an ideal solution to maintain the efficiency of centrifugal compressors and reduce breakdowns and leaks. Its use increases the life span of the equipment and maintains the integrity of the process as a whole.
