Internal Corrosion in Oil and Gas Production Facilities Before talking about corrosion in oil and gas facilities, we have to define some of the main sections of these facilities: Gathering System and Manifolds Unit – Gather the flowlines that convey the liquid and/or gaseous hydrocarbons coming from production wells. – Send the product, by means […]
when we talk about oil gas separators in the modern designs of GOPS, the designers took into consideration all operation problems, by adding high sensitivity control valves, and accurate pressure and level indicators which decreased these problems to the minimum, most operation problems now are occurring because of bad operation, human mistakes, or […]
Consequences of sand production: • Wellbore fill. • Equipment problems due to sand fill. • Sand erosion of downhole and surface equipment. • Sand accumulation on surface and Sand Disposal. • Production Loss. • Casing / Liner Collapse. Forces Aiding in Resisting Sand Production: • Intergranular frictional forces and bonding (cementing) help resist grain movement • Capillary […]
Energy commodities can be traded. You can trade gasoline, natural gas and even heating oil commodities. Energy is a broad term which can mean any commodity that is used as power. You’ll be able to trade in the same oil that powers your home’s heating, gasoline for automobiles and any other form of energy. […]
Functions of cement – Restriction of fluid movement between permeable zones – Provision of mechanical support of the casing string – Protection of casing from corrosion – Support of the well-bore walls to prevent collapse of formations The manufacture and composition of cement – Raw material from calcareous and argillaceous rocks (limestone, clay, shale […]
The major steps in pipeline system design involve establishment of critical pipeline performance objectives and critical engineering design parameters such as: • Required throughput (volume per unit time for most petroleum products; pounds per unit time for petrochemical feedstocks); • Origin and destination points; •Product properties such as viscosity and specific gravity; •Topography of pipeline […]
تاريخ انتاج النفط في العراق عقيل الشويلي تعود محاولات انتاج النفط في العراق الى القرن التاسع عشر حيث كان الالمان هم اول من حاول استكشاف النفط في العراق في الفترة (1860-1880) حيث استقدمهم والي بغداد العثماني مدحت باشا وقاموا بإنشاء مصفى في بعقوبة لتصفية النفط المستخرج من مندلي وفي عام 1882قام السلطان […]
ادارة الحقول النفطية المهندس عقيل الشويلي تعتبر عملية استثمار الحقول النفطية من ضمن عمليات الانتاج التي تتضمن عدة نقاط جوهرية يجب ان يدركها العاملين في هذا القطاع اهمها : اولا : كيف يتم الانتاج ؟ وماهي الخطوات العملية للانتاج .؟ ثانيا : ماهي الكمية والنوع للمنتج ؟ ثالثا : لمن الانتاج ..؟ من الذي سيجني ثمار […]
Most of the world’s oil reservoirs now produce a mixture of oil and water. The liquids are subjected to shear forces through pumps or other lifting methods, or are sheared as they pass through pressure-reducing devices in the production line. The shear forces disperse one liquid into the other with variations in drop size and […]
Crude Oil Treatment Electrostatic & Mechanical Treaters Introduction After primary oil/water separation, there is often a small amount of unwanted salts in residual water in the crude oil that needs to be reduced to a concentration around 5-10 PTB (Pounds per Thousand Barrels) salt. This salt needs to be removed so that the crude oil […]
American Petroleum Institute API classifies crude oil into different types as follows: 1. Light Crude Oil : its API is greater than 31.1° 2. Medium Crude Oil: its API is between 22.3° and 30.2°. 3. Heavy Crude Oil: its API is between 22.3° and 10°. heavy crude oil has a high viscosity, high […]
we invite experienced petroleum personnel to share his/her experience or unique assignments they performed. This way we can know about the other different applications or approaches in different problems in the oil industry. And about experience or journey, it will help others to be motivated and to be focused. Here, you can write any […]
