In tank gauging systems for cryogenic vessels that contain liquefied gases such as LNG and LPG, reliable level measurement is vital for inventory management and custody transfer purposes, and to prevent overfills. Servo gauges have often been used to perform level...
What is an Intelligent Multistage Completion Network? Traditionally, oil and gas operators didn't have much choice in what data they could gather from a downhole environment. High levels of visibility and control in a reservoir might have felt like a pipe dream for a...
This quick, 2:18 video, Roxar Downhole Wireless PT Sensor System, shows how this pressure-temperature continuous monitoring solution provides oil & gas operators with a robust and proven system to validate well integrity.
In Ben Arriola’s article, Introducing the Next-Generation Single-Use pH Sensor, he describes how advancements in single-use sensors have improved quality, reliability, and the level of supplier support.
For those not familiar with the oil & gas drilling process, the cement that is between the well bore and outside of the well casing is critical to the overall integrity of the well. PetroWiki defines its role: Cement is used to hold casing in place and to prevent...
Offshore oil and gas producers use hydraulic power to operate much of their subsea equipment. This equipment includes valves, cylinders, motors, manifolds, blowout preventers and remote operated vehicles to name a few. Pressure regulators in Hydraulic Power Units...
Heavy fuel oil and marine gas oil are used in many marine applications. Wikipedia relates the term bunkering: …to storage of petroleum products in tanks (among other, disparate meanings.) The precise meaning can be further specialized depending on context. Perhaps the...
The news continues to flow out from the 2014 Offshore Technology Conference in Houston. One piece of news, as reported by Rigzone, is Emerson Deploys Downhole Wireless Sensor System on Statoil's Skuld Field. From the press release: Emerson Process Management announced...
Controlling the oil and gas drilling process is about managing the pressure and fluids from the reservoir with the hydrostatic pressure in the drilling mud. From Wikipedia's well drilling entry: Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) is defined by the International...
A colleague alerted me to a great story of technological longevity. In our world of process automation, it's not uncommon for product lives to be measured in decades. And, some of these control systems, safety systems, and field instrumentation operate in harsh...
In one of last week's Offshore Technology Conference-related posts, I mentioned the announcement of a Roxar downhole wireless pressure-temperature (PT) sensor system for the annulus B region. If you're not in the oil and gas business, terms such as annulus, tubing,...
