Hello,
I currently have two design proposals I am assessing related to level control of a high-pressure separator. To give context, the oil stream from the separator passes through a heat exchanger (shell and tube) then a crude oil heater to the low pressure separator. Whilst assessing the two...
Hello,
I am enquiring about a design-related aspect in the consideration of packed distillation columns. Is it common to have the bottoms liquid draw off through the reboiler or through a bottoms nozzle on the column itself? I have indicated a screen grab on the reboiler draw-off option but...
I recently enquired for a vendor to demonstrate that the provided compressor design considered inlet gas blowdown requirements as no vent port had been provided that would support this. The vendor indicated that inlet blowdown can be conducted via the recycle line by opening the bypass line on...
Our current design has consideration of an ESDV being placed on a produced water line from an HP separator of an oil processing train. Personally I find this strange since the fluid here is water(almost),not flammable, not explosive and not hazardous. The SDV would be sufficient. Although an...
Two bidding contractors have provided different solutions for the pre-heating of crude oil from an HP separator prior to crude oil heater and LP Separator in a CPF oil processing train. I am conversant with the operation of the S&T solution however I am not conversant with the cross oil...
Hello All,
I am seeking your view on if there are any benefits or challenges you have seen in the deployment of Polymer flooding as an EOR option especially in heavy/waxy fields.
Cases such as deployment at the Mangala fields sound very good but I fear not enough information is availed to...
Dear All.
A client's current preferred OPP strategy for wellpads (to flowline) is to use an instrumented PSHH based first protective layer and PSV that releases to emergency drilling pits as second layer. Because of the environmental sensitivity of the location, use of HIPPS would have been...
I would love to know your views on the efficiency to control vessel pressure (HP Separator) using compressor IGV. My view is a response from the pressure of the vessel may be too slow leading to a surge in the compressor. What is your view? Do you an alternative to such a control routine.
