    Question about Wellhead Casing

    Yes. Flow through a valve would not represent gas leaking from the casing. I am not familiar with casing leak monitoring devices, however from the emission monitoring methodology you referenced, I imagine more of a box or tent set up enclosing a known space around the well head in which they...

    Question about Wellhead Casing

    The production tubing is usually removed before the well is plugged forever. If the well casing is not properly plugged, the gas from the gas bearing strata makes it's way around the plug into the upper region of the casing. It is that gas in the casing that can leak to the atmosphere.

    Simulation using Petrel

    Static pressure is a constant pressure at a point far enough from the well, such that it does not change with local flow effects in the immediate.vicinity of the well. It is often just assumed during initial investigations as the weight of all the soil and rock layers above the HC strata. Its...

    Simulation using Petrel

    ...well test data, where the well is tested at different flow rates to determine how the pressure responds. #### Key Components of the PQ Curve 1. **Flow Rate (Q)**: This is the rate at which oil, gas, and water are produced from the well. It is measured in units such as barrels per day (bpd)...

    Pipeline transporting Naphta and jet fuel

    No argument there. Outside the US, there may not be any meaningful distinction between pipelines and process lines. And, if it were a short bit of above ground pipe in what was a long buried pipeline, I would definitely not change the code. Inside the US, there is a clear difference that...

    US REFINERIES CANNOT PROCESS LITE OIL

    You are going to be BUSY. I just don't like the looks of this site. Just another Google document.

    Pipeline transporting Naphta and jet fuel

    There are hundreds., if not thousands of miles of B31. 4 &. 8 above ground pipelines in the world. What matters is if it is a pipeline, or a process line. Look in the Scope 1.0 of each code for their definitions and select the code that applies.

    US REFINERIES CANNOT PROCESS LITE OIL

    Yes, still having fun. Extremely happy I am living here. I turned off the USA news feeds and I've been working, more on my paintings. With the long holidays here running into January, several of the better fiestas in late Jan and early Carnival, time goes into warp drive. I have also been...

    US REFINERIES CANNOT PROCESS LITE OIL

    If anyone is interested, this video explains the various crude benchmark futures price spreads and their relationships to their geographic delivery points and transportation costs. I am not sure what process engineering expertise he has, but he does mention that a Shell refinery in Mississippi...

    US REFINERIES CANNOT PROCESS LITE OIL

    The thing I keep seeing on you tube is that US refineries must export light shale oil to refine it in other countries. I have discussed this at length with several AI LLMs delving quite deeply into process constraints of various refinery configurations and in general this does not appear to be...

    Underground Oil & Water Pipelines

    I believe he said external corrosion, so probably a pinhole or scratch, or poor wrap in the coating. It is unusual, but not unknown to happen within 6mo of installation, especially in acidic, wet soils.

    B31.8 Location Design Factor Change

    Does B31.8 actually require that you subtract undertolerence from the wall thickness? I don't have a new version of B31.8, but old versions do not require that you consider undertolerence. That is already considered in the DF.

    Can we PLEASE go back to the old forum!

    Are you f kidding me. It don't fly. If I wanted Redit, I'd be at Redit. How do I delete my membership? In fact I may not return to find out how. If I ghost you, you know why.
