John,
Bottom line your Production or Reservoir Engineers need to answer this.
However as long as you have the test separator pressure and basic PVT analysis Pressure, GOR, expansion factor, Bo etc. you should be able to work everything out.
Not sure that I follow on your BSW readings. Yes they...
All,
Thanks for the replies. To answer a couple of pts;
Class two meters - NOT fiscal metering. That takes place on another platform at great cost and is labour intensive. Remember this is an unmanned platform with limited visits and changing out the actual metering like John suggests is easy...
All,
Really just after peoples thoughts and views, and their experiences to give me some ideas.
The problem - We are building a new very minimal facility offshore platform that will only be manned once every 2-3 yrs for brief maintenance trips. The gas wells that the meters will be attached to...
The information you are offering is not enough to even start a design. What are you trying separate from what ??
You need to try and get a hold of a book on oilfield production systems. This will give you a detailed procedure. But a quick brief..
Fundementally a liquid separator is vessel...
The pulsation dampener has mud on one side and pressurised nitrogen on the other is actually in place to absord the pressure differences from the triplex pump piston action. The pulsation dampener will isolate the pump noise from your standpipe signal or tries to. No pressure in the pulsation...
To follow on from what I have just written. I suspect that you only partially killed the well previously because you did not pump at sufficient rates. I would suggest 10 bbl/min + if you can. It seems that your pump is too small for the job if you are to kill without something to isolate the...
You can't rule of thumb well killing but having had to kill numerous gas wells in preparation for workover operations I can offer some advice.
First you cannot kill it with water alone (presuming water is of sufficient hydrostatic pressure to kill the well). You have to pump a large HEC pill...
All,
Typically the problem is nipped in the bud by glycol injection upstream of your pt of most energy dissipation (choke, pipe reduction etc). The hydrates will form over a certain pressure/temp regime and are mostly seen at areas of large pressure/temp reductions. By injecting glycol you will...
ESOH,
There is a book that many companies provide for their new hire engineers that is indeed a dummies guide for Drilling and Completions. It is called ""A Primer for Oil Well Drilling". Also going to some of the major service company websites will also give you and insight into...
