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). […]

Produced 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 pumps are classified simple and passive machineries when compared to their mechanical counterparts like centrifugal pumps simply due to its inherent characteristics of utilizing high pressure fluid streams to entrain and boost static pressure of a second fluid to an intermediate level. It can be adopted in various […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

During oil production, most pipelines are transporting a substantial amount of water together with crude oil and gas. The presence of water in the transporting pipeline may be due to the following: Water flowing out from the reservoir naturally. The % amount of water will become increasingly significant as the […]

Harnessing an Unconventional Power Source from an Unexpected Region- An Environmental Solution
Power plants commonly utilize conventional fuel sources from natural gas (from production wells), coal or biofuel products to produce electricity. Who would have thought that a fuel source could also be found from a deepwater lake in Africa? This spectacular phenomenon is found at Lake Kivu, Rwanda. The lake encompasses […]
