Natural gas plays a significant role in the global shift toward net zero emissions. Since 2010, switching from coal to natural gas has saved 500 million metric tons of CO2, and billions of people rely on it for heat and power around the world. Because natural gas is a...
We must marvel at the ingenuity of the first oil and gas producers to tackle subsea production – pioneers who completed the first subsea well on the ocean floor, offshore in California in 1961. Building a wellsite on the seabed invokes a whole new set of difficulties,...
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...
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...
The news was flowing fast and furiously from the recent Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) in Houston, Texas. I wanted to highlight some of the news from Emerson in case you missed it. To help protect subsea well and pipeline integrity and support...
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....
Emerson's Wendell Love, Alexandre Minto, and Joe Ugarte described applications on floating production storage and offloading vessels (FPSOs), floating liquefied natural gas vessels, and offshore oil and gas production platforms. Their abstract: Demonstrate pressure...
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...
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...
One of the reoccurring themes I heard at the recent Emerson Exchange conference for process manufacturers modernizing their control systems was the early engagement of operators in training systems. I met with Emerson's Ronnie Bains a few months back who is involved...
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,...
