Uses of Hydrogen Living in a climate conscious society, electric and hydrogen comes to mind especially in the transportation sector whereby other alternatives are scarce and hard to implement. In the same vein, the uses of hydrogen are relatively diverse with it not only being limited to power generation through […]

Compressor end of Field Life Improvement Using Jet Pump
INTRODUCTION Oil and gas reservoirs are a formation of rock in which oil and natural gas has accumulated. It is created naturally over the course of hundreds of millions of years when layers of decomposing plants and animals encounter with intense heat from the Earth and pressure from rocks. Oil […]
Read moreSand Removal System using Jet Pump
INTRODUCTION Sand production in Oil and Gas Separators possess various adverse effects on Separation System. High sand rate may disrupt equipment performance, clogging, pipe erosion, process upsets and etc. In such case, a Sand Jetting System is integrated online alongside a jet pump to maintain minimal sand residue inside separators. A […]
Read moreApplication of Jet Pump in Wastewater Aeration
INTRODUCTION Aeration can be described by the process in which air drawn in is brought in circulation and mixed with a liquid body. Aeration facilitates close contact between air and water for the removal of dissolved gases and ensures the oxidation of dissolved metals and even Volatile Organic Chemicals (VOCs). […]
Read moreProduced Water De-Oiling Membrane Package
INTRODUCTION Three main production fluids emerging from reservoir upon produced are gas, crude and produced water. While gas and crude are further process and export to onshore, the produced water is normally separated, treated and dump to overboard. In early years of oil and gas operation, to minimize offshore facilities, […]
Read moreOverview of Conventional Sand Jetting System and Improved Cyclonic Jetting Nozzle for Oil and Gas Separator
INTRODUCTION Conventional sand jetting system embarks on nozzle spraying technique for sand fluidization. This method requires high fluid velocity at nozzle to transform deposited sand into slurry before it is being pushed towards discharge pipe at bottom of separator. High turbulence condition is generated nearby nozzle area that will propagate […]
Read moreDevelopment of Pulsating Jet Pump for Industrial Use
INTRODUCTION Jet pump is a straightforward, passive device that utilizes high pressure fluid streams to draw in and transport fluid onto boosting static pressure to an intermediate level. Jet pumps in the oil and gas are conventionally being used to maintain vacuum conditions; increase the flow of liquids with use of […]
Read moreA cost effective solution in monitoring production with Virtual Flow Meter
INTRODUCTION Virtual Flow Metering System (VFM) is gaining traction being a cost effective solution in monitoring production as compared to conducting well testing or having a multiphase flow meters (MPFM). VFM system is an alternative to physical, direct multiphase measurement. An Oil and Gas (O&G) production systems typically consist of […]
Read moreDesign Optimization of Condensate Stabilizer
INTRODUCTION As Full Well Stream (FWS) comes out of the well, it will first be separated into three phases, i.e., gas, oil and water for further processing and treatments. For crude oil/condensate, the most volatile components of FWS will be separated and stabilized to achieve the desired Reid Vapor Pressure […]
Read moreSimplification of Control System Wiring for Offshore Application
INTRODUCTION For years, connecting field devices to process control systems (PCS), safety instrumented system (SIS) and fire and gas system (FGS) has used the same technology. Typically, the traditional method is to use pair cables and multipair cable to send a signal from field to control room. Sure, there have […]
