    Dewatering gas lift pipe line

    You dry a line down to less that 50% relative humidity when it has something that liquid water can hurt, I don't think that is the case for a gas-lift line. My apologies, I feel this assumption is incorrect and need to point out the following: High concentrations of methane, ethane, propane...

    Well start-up/revival

    bouk, On the basis that you mention compressor wash or low gas demand as the reason the well is shut in, I assume you are talking about re-starting a gas well after a long term shut in. It is important to know the context of the well in question is it a subsea or a 'dry' platform well. In the...

    oil cut, GOR question

    Apologies to BigInch but no. 500 bbls water + 500 bbls oil is correct but GOR = Gas / Oil Ratio (scf/bbl) therefore Gas flow = 500 scf/bbl x 500 bbl(oil)= 250000 scf regards NMcC

    flow assurance engineer?

    bojie01, From my knowledge there are no degree courses in Flow Assurance. Although I will be the first to admit I am not the most knowledgeable/up to date with academic developments, the best evidence I have to back up the above statement are the CV's I get. So far, no degree courses in FA...

    Calculating Natural Gas Pressure Drop in a 3" Riser

    a quick cautionary note in reply to Vzeos statement: For low pressure gas (which is what I guess you have) the gas pressure will tend to increase with elevation. This applies to guage pressure only (i.e. the absolute gas pressure in the riser minus atmospheric pressure). And this is what the...

    RhoV2

    rhov2 is a measure of the fluids momentum and is used in calculating stressess and loadings on vessel nozzles. I think it is being used in this context in your case as you mention a 'flare header collector'. Talk to piping designers or the designers of your 'collector' for the maximum...

    Rate of pressurisation

    OleF, Unfortunately, there is no particular rule of thumb for the maximum rate of pressurisation of a subsea pipeline. Find out who specified the pressurisation rate and what the reason is behind it. Important: Do not ignore this limitation if you haven't got a clue as to why it exists! In...
