Field Operations Engineer 🖤💀⚙️ Greetings to the friends and colleagues who work in this beautiful area of the O&G industry. 🔥⚠️ A flow station is where the treatment of the crude oil that comes from the exploitation areas or fields, for its subsequent transfer to the nearest unloading station and from there to the main tank yard for reception and pumping of raw. The fundamental objective of Flow Stations in oil production operations is to separate the well fluids at optimal pressures into their three basic components: - Petroleum - Gas - Water The subsequent treatment of hydrocarbons, in order to optimize their processing and marketing (petroleum and gas). The treatment process at the station is carried out through a series of sub-processes; among them we have separation, dehydration, storage pumping, etc. This system begins with the collection of crude oil through the production manifold, which is made up of one or more production heads and another test head. The test head is used to individually isolate the production of a well in order to evaluate it. Once collected in the manifold, the crude oil is sent to the separation stage where it is retained a specific liquid level for a determined time under controlled conditions of pressure and temperature, this in order to separate the lighter hydrocarbons from the heavier ones. Upon leaving this stage, the crude oil goes to dehydration, where the heater system raises its inlet temperature under a process of heat transfer, this in order to achieve a more effective separation between oil and water. As the crude oil advances through the system it reaches the tank farm where it initially passes to an oil and water separation tank, known as a washing tank, and from there it goes to the storage tanks. In low pressure systems (around 70 psi) the gas from the flow stations is supplied to the suction of the compressor stations or is also supplied as fuel. When the gas coming from the separators has High pressures (e.g. 1000 psi) can be supplied directly to artificial lift gas facilities or reservoir gas injection facilities.

Field Operations Engineer 🖤💀⚙️ Tank measurement is the measurement of liquids in large storage tanks in order to quantify the volume and mass of the product in the tanks. The oil and gas industry generally uses static volumetric content evaluations of the tank. This involves level, temperature and pressure measurements. There are different ways to measure liquid level and other liquid properties; The measurement method depends on the type of tank, the type of liquid and the way the tank is used. In addition to measuring the level of precision, temperature measurements are essential to evaluate the tank contents accurately. All liquids have a coefficient of thermal expansion and volume compensation must be applied suitable when transferring volumes to different temperature conditions. A liquid pressure measurement is often added to provide a current assessment of the average observed density and to calculate the mass of the product.

Field Operations Engineer 🖤💀⚙️ 🎶 Rule number 32: "Always enjoy the little things." A Flare 🔥 is a thin and tall structure, present in industrial places, that releases steam or flame at its top. It is a gas combustion device that carries out the controlled burning of waste. It also protects the equipment of many oil and gas extraction facilities from the dangers of overpressures. When oil is extracted from offshore or onshore fields, the natural gas associated with this oil is also brought to the surface. As a result, they are mainly found in refineries, chemical and petrochemical plants, natural gas processing plants, offshore exploration and/or production platforms. Flare ignition can occur for several reasons: - Part of the test to stabilize the pressure and flow of the well. - To manage residual gas that is not captured or processed. - For safety reasons, releasing pressure.

In the oil and gas industry, maintaining the integrity of pipelines is paramount to ensuring safe and efficient operations. One critical aspect of pipeline maintenance is the internal coating of field joints. Field joints, the sections where two pipe segments are welded together, are particularly vulnerable to corrosion and other forms of damage. Properly coating these joints internally can significantly enhance the longevity and reliability of pipelines. #PipelineMaintenance #FieldJointCoating #InternalCoating #CorrosionProtection #OilAndGas #PipelineIntegrity #FlowEfficiency #IndustrialCoating #PipeCoating #BinaryRobotics #IndustrialSolutions #PipelineTechnology #SustainablePractices #PipelineSafety #EngineeringExcellence https://lnkd.in/d_Hdgb9g

Field Operations Engineer 🖤💀⚙️ W.O. Expusure to Toxic Gases 🔥 In general, a large part of the industry uses equipment and machinery that generates electrical and mechanical energy based on the combustion of different types of fuels, the result of which is the generation and emission of gases into the atmosphere and into the work environment; which, depending on the characteristics of each process, can affect the health and good performance of the personnel who are part of said process. In the case of workover operations, in addition to the gases produced by combustion, exposure to natural gases from the well is also considered, which are mixed with crude oil and water. To analyze the magnitude of the release of the contaminant into the environment, it is necessary to introduce the concept of load. The emitted load of a contaminant corresponds to the amount in weight of said contaminant that is released per unit of time. For atmospheric emissions or liquid effluents, the load is calculated as the product of the concentration of the contaminant in the release stream by the flow rate.
