Carbon emissions have long been the focus of global efforts to reduce the impact of industrial activities on the environment. In September 2021, the U.S. and the EU proposed that the reduction of methane emissions into our atmosphere could have a significant and fast acting impact on the pace of global heating over the coming decades. 

Thermal steam injection in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) is a popular method for third stage oil production, especially for highly viscous oil. Tough environments like shale oil reservoirs that require thermal methods for oil recovery require durable flow meters that tolerate high-pressure flow conditions. 

In today’s complex and frequently rugged process plant environments, liquid pumps are often overworked and under-protected from adverse operating conditions. Many pumps run nearly nonstop 24 hours a day over multiple shifts. Poor operating conditions can reduce pump performance, require extra maintenance, shorten their lives, and increase costs.
