    Welding L-80 Type-1 Tubing to AISI 4130 Hammer Union

    Dear All, We need to weld an L-80 Type-1 tubing to an AISI 4130 Hammer Union. This assembly will be used on a well testing package vent/flare line. We already have the WPS and supporting PQR for base metal AISI 4130 or its equivalent. Post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) will be carried out, and...

    Heater Burner Ex Rating Requirements.

    Hello All, Would you agree with the below: In an oil and gas plant, the decision to use an explosion-proof (Ex) rated dual-fuel burner (for gas and diesel) depends on the classification of the hazardous area where the burner will be located. The Ex rating is often required for equipment in...

    Category M (ASME B31.3)

    Dear All, Is it correct to assume that a wet sour gas with 20% H₂S and 40% CO₂ could potentially fall under Category M (ASME B31.3) due to the high hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) content?

    H2S Partial Pressure.

    Dear All, We have a 6-inch flow line, oil flow rate is 5,000 bopd and GOR 1500 SCF/BBL. The flowing wellhead pressure is 500 P.s.i.g. what is the H2S partial pressure if the H2S is 20%?

    The Recommended Minimum Distance or Proximity from a Buried Gas Pipeline.

    Dear All, We operate a 12-inch oil export pipeline with an operating pressure of 40 barg, and a 24-inch gas export pipeline with an operating pressure of 65 barg. Both pipelines are buried within the same corridor. We have been informed of plans to construct a gas/petrol station in close...

    Crude Oil Blending

    Dear All, I found below in a test paper. but still searching for the API/ASTM crude reference which puts why API’s cannot be averages into understandable language??? Question 1 Equal volumes of a 30°API, 20°API, and 15°API crude are blended to produce a feed to refinery. Estimate the °API of...

    Dear Team, During inspection we

    Dear Team, During inspection we observed that the weld-o-let fittings are not fitted or welded properly and have incomplete root penetration. Please note that this is a sour gas piping / on a reciprocating high-pressure gas compressor. These spools are part of the compressor package and were...
