Silent Guardians : How #CathodicProtection Keeps #OilandGas #Pipelines Flowing Safely Oil and gas pipelines are the lifeblood of the industry, transporting these vital resources across vast distances. But these buried giants face a silent enemy: corrosion. Here's where Cathodic Protection (CP) steps in as a silent guardian! What is #Cathodic #Protection? CP is an #electrochemical technique that essentially "tricks" corrosion" by transforming the pipeline into a giant cathode (negative electrode) in an electrical circuit. An external anode (positive electrode) is strategically placed, sacrificing itself to neutralize corrosion on the #pipeline. Benefits of CP: Extends pipeline life: By preventing corrosion, CP significantly increases the lifespan of pipelines, reducing the need for costly replacements. (#pipelineintegrity #assetmanagement) Enhanced safety: Corrosion can lead to leaks and ruptures, posing safety and environmental risks. CP minimizes these risks. (#pipelinesafety #environmentalprotection) Cost-effective: While requiring upfront investment, CP offers significant long-term savings compared to the cost of pipeline repairs or replacements. Types of Cathodic Protection: Impressed Current CP: Utilizes an external power source to drive the cathodic protection current. (#impressedcurrentcp) Sacrificial Anode CP: Uses sacrificial metal anodes that corrode preferentially, protecting the pipeline. (#sacrificialanodecp) Cathodic protection is a crucial technology for ensuring the safe, reliable, and cost-effective transportation of oil and gas. #oilandgas #pipeline #cathodicprotection #corrosionprevention #engineering #construction #maintenance #upstream #midstream #downstream Have you worked on projects involving cathodic protection?

Recently i read a tamil poem from a famous poet Kannadasan and liked very much... So thought of sharing... Here is english version.. "What is birth?" I asked, and the Lord replied, "Experience it, and you'll understand." "What is learning?" I asked, and the Lord replied, "Continue to learn, and you'll discover." "What is knowledge?" I asked, and the Lord replied, "Acquire it, and you'll come to know." "What is love?" I asked, and the Lord replied, "Show compassion, and you'll understand." "What is wife and children?" I asked, and the Lord replied, "Embrace marriage and parenthood, and you'll know." "What is old age?" I asked, and the Lord replied, "Mature, and you'll comprehend." "What is poverty?" I asked, and the Lord replied, "Endure it, and you'll understand." "What is death?" I asked, and the Lord replied, "Pass through it, and you'll know." "If I can only understand through experience, then what is your purpose?" I asked. The Lord drew near and whispered, "Experience is none other than me." #Experience is #God. #Life #Motivation

We will follow this theory for PERMEABILITY. Remember in a recent post we saw that VISCOSITY from Poiseuilles law had units of PaSec. Remember a Pascal is a Newton/m^2 , and the NEWTON is : 1 kgm x 1 m^2 = Newton. So , if we define the units of k, permeability we have: (Q m^3/sec) x (visc Pa sec)x (Delx m )/(A m^2 x Pa) = k abs Solve for : kabs = m^2 = permeability Interesting that these interesting equations , that the former cited equation for VISCOSITY is PaSec, now the much used and applied parameter , Permeabilty , is solely m^2. This term is used extensively in PETROLEUM , RESERVOIR , and, NATURAL GAS ENGINEERING. At times we apply equations, recognize the terms , but forget the UNITS: viscosity , and permeabilty. The worlds unforgetable Scientists , Pascal, Darcy, Poiseuille, Dalton , Gibbs have left a well paved technical path that even at modern times are still applied , and we strive to understand. Technology is a lifelong criteria. Engineers !!! Never loose sight of your mathematics. Figure is from: Petrosync

Section III : Three Phase , Four Component Oilfield Separator. After last 2 sections we’ve seen conditions gas flow conditions into an oilfield separator. Basic parameters of inlet velocity , component settling velocities , calculation of maximum gas velocity, Vs, admitted to a VERTICAL separator have been presented, as well as determination of a separator diameter, Ds. The In this section we will analyze the additional components in transient flow into the separator. The correction for Vs to horizontal flow will be presented I would like you all to know that a reader of LINKEDIN posts is a brilliant man in oilfield technology. I’ve known him for 50 years, and he is unique, in engineering . This is Dan McCartney ; who has corrected ny mistakes. So various issues to address. We have solved for MAX. inlet gas velocity for the VERTICAL separator, Vs , and Separator diameter. However this solution for Ds, or Separator Diameter , includes a symbol regarding , Fg , or gas space open to gas flow, and (1-Fg) , liquid volume. We will discuss Fg in final post. Fg is a function of radial distance. In another post , I will show corrections to Vs to obtain HORIZONTAL Vs 1) Separators have spherical heads, as seen below. These volumes DO NOT contribute to the separation. A correction is related to these volumes. The diameter D is employed Thus, Le , the effective separation length is: Le = Ls - Ds, in ft/m 2) Vane packs, and demisters , play an important role in effective removal of downstream liquid droplet carry over. They are internally angled so as to enhance component velocity differential due to momentum difference , and enhance droplet diffusion. The droplets , oil or water flowing thru a demister pad can separate droplets down to 2-3 microns. When severity in flowing separation is not an issue , an angled vane pack can separate droplets to some 8-11 microns. In certain phase behavior phenomena for the flowing “gas/liquid“ , CAVITATION may occur in vane packs. The shuddering of the separator will be the notification. By pass unit, or adjust inlet pressure so that adequate fluid velocities obviate the issue. 3) flowing SAND reflects a “relative density” of 2.10 - 2.65. Sand “coagulates” in vane packs or demisters, impacting separation. Sand is an issue in internal separator design. Nucleonic, Thermal, and Ultrasonic devices sense when sand accumulation/compaction results in increased internal separator velocities. Within the separator , the effect of flowing sand tends to coagulate oil/water. Sand production is classified in three types : 1) continuous, 2) catastrophic , and 3) transient. It is wise to consider well-head sand separation just downstream of wellhead choke. Sand production usually in the range of 1 -2 lbs. per 100 Bbls. This production may cause subsurface COMPACTION. This action also causes surface SUBSIDENCE. Will treat Fg , and Sand expulsion from reservoirs with subsequent compaction/subsidence in another post.

The Differential Pressure - Venturi is the Solution ? 🤷‍♂️ In the world of fluid dynamics, precision is key. Today, let’s dive into the fascinating realm of differential pressure flow measurement, focusing on three powerful devices: the Orifice plate, the Nozzle, and the Venturi tube. Each of these tools leverages the differential pressure principle, ensuring accurate and reliable flow measurements across various industrial applications. 📏 Principle measure the pressure drop across a constriction in the flow path to determine the flow rate. Here’s how it works: 🔹Constriction: A device (orifice plate, nozzle, or Venturi tube) is inserted into the flow path, creating a known constriction. 🔹Pressure Drop: As fluid passes through the constriction, its velocity increases, causing a drop in pressure. 🔹Flow Rate Calculation: The difference in pressure before and after the constriction is measured, allowing for the calculation of the flow rate using Bernoulli's equation. 🛠️ Orifice Plate 🔹 Design: A thin plate with a precise hole in the middle. 🔹 Advantages: Simple, cost-effective, and easy to install. 🔹 Challenges: Higher pressure drop, potential for wear and tear, and less suitable for dirty or viscous fluids. 🛠️Flow Nozzle 🔹 Design: A nozzle with a smooth, streamlined shape. 🔹 Advantages: Better suited for high-velocity flows, lower permanent pressure loss compared to orifice plates. 🔹 Challenges: More complex to manufacture and install, higher cost. 🛠️Venturi Tube 🔹 Design: A tube with a gradually narrowing throat and a gradual expansion. 🔹 Advantages: Minimal pressure loss, highly accurate, ideal for a wide range of fluid types and conditions. 🔹 Challenges: Larger size, higher initial cost, more challenging to install. ⚙️ Venturi Tube: The Optimal Solution? Among these methods, the Venturi tube often stands out as a comprehensive solution. Its design minimizes pressure loss, making it highly efficient and accurate for diverse applications. Despite a higher initial cost and installation complexity, its long-term benefits often justify the investment, particularly in processes requiring precise and reliable measurements. Choosing the right flow measurement tool can drastically impact efficiency, safety, and cost in industries such as oil & gas, water treatment, and chemical processing. 🌟How do you decide which differential pressure device to use in your applications?

“Weep hole” vs “Secondary seal hole” in a BOP a weep hole in a blowout preventer (BOP) is hole that is typically located above the secondary seal assembly. The weep hole serves as an indicator of potential seal failure by allowing small amounts of fluid to escape the wellbore through the BOP. This enables rig personnel to detect potential issues before they escalate and to take corrective action before a blowout occurs. The secondary seal assembly may consist of a shear ram, blind ram, or other devices that can close around the drill string or the wellbore itself to provide a backup seal. This backup seal helps to prevent the uncontrolled release of fluid, by squeezing plastic through that. The photo goes back to the five-year service of BOP.

Electrical submersible pump (ESP) is a frequently used artificial lift method, especially in high production wells. Severe wear and leakage can be caused by sand production from unconsolidated sandstone and proppant backflow. The loss of boosting ability and system stability under sandy flow condition is hard to be predicted, which not only reduces the production but also causes severe failures. Sand production is one of the most common and fatal problems in many artificial lift methods. As high rotating turbomachinery, ESP is more sensitive to sand than others. The pump is suffered from both abrasion and erosion if sand presents. Let’s see the effect of stages wear with Ollie and ecal🚀🛢🔍Thanks to Muhammad Dias Fahlevi for the content. #ESPproblems #Troubleshooting #ArtificialLift #SkillsMatter

Tank Buckling "elephant's foot"  Buckles that are much longer in the circumferential direction than in the axial direction are often caused by axial compression (overturning moment from earthquake lateral motion) combined with internal pressure (from fluid inside the tank). The highest axial compressive resultant occurs at the bottom of the tank. However, the tank is built up of courses that are thickest at the bottom and become thinner in steps with increasing distance from the bottom. The "elephant foot” can buckle about half way up the tank occurs at a level where the tank wall thickness steps down from one course to the next higher course. #oil #storage #tank #vessel #refinery #seismic #load #desing #terminal #plant #inspection #engineering #learning #process #safety #earthquake
