Avoiding Missed Gas Volume Flow Measurements in Plunger Lift Wells
Jim Cahill
Measuring flow rates on producing gas wells can be difficult on plunger lift applications. The mechanical plungers are used to remove water slugs which build up and reduce production rates. When the plunger pulls up the well bore, the differential pressure (DP) flow measurement can spike beyond the range of the DP transmitter. This spike is caused by a surge in the flow of natural gas behind the plunger. This short…

Gas Chromatograph Validation in Natural Gas Custody Transfer Applications
Jim Cahill
Gas chromatographs (GCs) are used in natural gas custody transfer applications . They provide information on the gas quality and composition—with components such as methane, ethane and heavier hydrocarbons, water vapor, carbon dioxide, nitrogen and hydrogen sulfide. These gas chromatograph are normally located on large gas stations with dedicated buyer use. In a Pipeline & Gas Journal article, Verifying Gas Chromatographs…

Improving Well Pad Lease Tank Oil Custody Transfer
Jim Cahill
Onshore oil & gas well pads have long used small lease tanks to hold the crude oil before transferring to be hauled away, typically by crude hauling trucks. Traditionally, this custody transfer process has involved operators climbing up the lease tanks, opening the thief hatch and using a measurement stick to manually gauge the level of the crude oil in the tank. This process subjects these operators to hazardous areas…

Chinese Power Plant Demonstrates Criticality of Effective Level Measurement in High Pressure/High Temperature
Bonnie Brown
by Robin Hudson, Rosemount Level Product Manager, Emerson Automation Solutions An interesting case history from a 600 kW coal fired power plant in China has implications for any safety-critical environment. This application involved drain pot alarms on super critical steam lines. As you know, any liquid entering a steam turbine will cause damage. This is costly and even more important, can be dangerous to personnel…

Avoiding Hydrocarbon Leakage During Storage Tank Water Draining Operations
Jim Cahill
Storage tanks play a pivotal role in the supply chain from upstream oil & gas production through downstream petrochemical-based products. Separation of water from the hydrocarbon liquids during storage create the need for operations to remove and treat this water as it builds up over time. Emerson’s Ryo Hashimoto shared a story of an Asian petrochemical manufacturer who had numerous naphtha and pyrolysis gasoline storage…
