Not A Drop Of Oil Lost: How Modern Clamp-On Technology Contributes To A Reliable And Cost-Efficient Pipeline Management
Transporting crude oil and petroleum products through pipelines is currently the most efficient way to distribute these energy sources to their respective destinations. To protect the environment and against loss in value due to leakage or theft, systems for leakage detection are required. To ensure safe operation, pipeline management systems must be continuously adapted to the state of the art. Modern and improved ultrasonic clamp-on flow meters offer cost-effective options at this point.

Helping Breweries Cut Natural Gas Costs And Waste Gas Emissions
No matter whether consumers choose a pilsner, an ale, or another popular type of beer, there is a critical focus at nearly all breweries today on their production process energy (natural gas) costs and plant environmental compliance (waste gas emissions). Failing to pay attention to the efficiency of these processes at breweries or any other type of food and beverage processing plant can lead to cost competitiveness issues and hefty regulatory fines.

Fast And Efficient Solution For Crude Oil Measurement For Refiners Using NIR Technology To Optimize The CDU Process Rapidly And Proactively
Historically, optimization in the refinery has been concentrated on final products, (e.g., gasoline and diesel), and has slowly shifted focus to conversion and upgrading process units within the refinery, such as for naphtha conversion, catalytic conversion, upgrading units, and alkylation. Still, there remains one especially important element of the refinery that has not been well optimized: rapid and online characterization of crude oil composition.

WELL COMPLETION ABOUT DOCUMENT
Well Completion
Well completion is a process that takes place after a oil or gas well has been verified to be commercially viable. Well completion involves casing, temperature and pressure evaluation and equipment installation to allow gas or oil drilling. Completion therefore has to wait for formation testing after a design well depth has been established. The specific activities involved in well completion include; drill stem tests (DST), production casting, production tubing installation, production flow commencement and installation of beam pumping units.
Drill stem tests have to be conducted to determine production formation potential. The DST experts use appropriate tools lowered into the bottom of the drilling hole to establish the formation potential. Adjustments are made to the tool to establish if the pressure is sufficient for production. This process should be left to the professional crew as hazards such as getting stuck by the test tool in floor testing. Exposure to h2s and other gases as well as blowouts are other hazards that only professional crews know how to deal with.
Production tubing installation is the other process involved in well completion. Small diameter tubing is more preferred to the larger ones in mining. Using couplings, individual tubing is joined to form a tubing string. The tubing that is to be used in mining is made using power tongs. With the advancement in technology, tubing can be made in the form of a continuous coil.
The final step in well completion is the initial production flow. Brine or water is injected into the well to remove the drilling fluid. This should be enough to initiate the flowing of the well. In the event that the well fails to flow under such circumstances, unloading or high pressure gas injection might be necessary. Caution should be taken since blowouts might occur if the well pressures happen to be charged.
