Oil wells often require compression to increase the production, during this procedure fluid is often drawn up with the gas. By having a multiphase compressor the well can achieve optimum casing pressure without shutting down on high fluid level Methods, Procedures, Process: Using the technology of the Beam Gas Compressors, high compression ratios, and high discharge temperature, to name a couple. A now complicated problem for the facilities engineer becomes simple...

Oilfield operations are like an intricate time piece, all gears must be moving in perfect synchronization in order for everything to run smooth and for the hands to keep moving.  But when a wrench gets thrown into the gears, how do you know where it came from.   When the flow stops there are a range of issues that can be the culprit such as bacteria, scale, paraffin/asphaltenes, and corrosion.

The Cold Finger Test is the primary test presently used by Chemical Vendors to select Paraffin Inhibitors to prevent paraffin deposition in producing gas and oil wells, gathering systems, treating facilities and pipelines. If a good Test procedure is used to erase the thermal history of 

Advancing technology has enabled the oil and gas Industry to analyze and track constituents in fluid samples. However, without proper sampling, proper laboratory procedures, and the correct interpretation of such analyses, this data could be erroneous and could result in costly and unnecessary actions.  

Through proper analytical sampling, testing and understanding of these results operators can monitor and optimize chemical applications.

Vapor Recovery Units are often expensive, complicated to operate and unable to deal with High H2S and liquids.  The Beam Gas Compressor is a product that has served the measure of time.. after 35 years of operation its durability is now being shown as a vapor recovery unit. Without the need of a control panel and scrubber tank the Hydraulically driven Beam Gas Compressor (HyBGC) can be easily serviced by most oil field personnel.  No special schooling or training is necessary.  Without the need for a control panel there is no need for special automation technical service.

With the recent proliferation of federal and state regulation in regards to allowable emissions limits from oil and gas production facilities, sound emissions control methods and their utilization have become increasingly more important.  Operator environmental compliance has been frequently emphasized by regulatory agencies, and using vapor combustion units (VCU’s) to limit the atmospheric exposure of volatile organic compounds (VOC’s) from on-site storage tanks is a practice that is seen with increasing regularity.

Most operating areas require chemical programs, but most operating companies do not have chemical knowledgeable personnel to help set a program up, evaluate its performance, and/or optimize the overall program.  This paper presents an overview of chemical programs along with a brief discussion of various potential parts of a program.  An operator will be able to use the information presented here to set up performance indicators to evaluate a program and decide how best to optimize their chemical program.    
 

Rod pump failure tracking has become a crucial component to any rod pump program in order to maximize run life and more effectively evaluate failure mechanisms. This course will dive into chemically preventable failure causes for rod pump wells highlighting root cause analysis, corrosion/bacteria control, solids management, product selection and program evaluation. 

Flowback of proppant and formation sand often become nuisance for operators as these solids cause equipment damage, costly cleanup treatments, and potential loss of production. These flowback problems are often compounded in severity in wells with high temperature and high pressure. Operators seek reliable solutions to (1) eliminate the need for frequent remedial cleanouts and surface equipment replacement, and (2) to maximize revenues by increasing and maintaining production rates.
