Problems related to sulfate-reducing bacteria in the petroleum industry.
Iverson, WP | Olson, GJ The corrosion of iron and steel in the form of storage tanks, pipelines, pumps, and other systems by sulfate-reducing bacteria is a serious problem faced by the petroleum industry. Recently, sulfate-reducing bacteria have been suspected of contributing to failure of certain enhanced (tertiary) oil recovery operations, possibly by degrading polymers [...]
Application of HVOF Thermal Spraying to Solve Corrosion Problems in the Petroleum Industry
Moskowitz, L N Commercially available thermal spray coatings have seen limited use in corrosion applications due to the presence of interconnecting porosity and oxide networks. Use of vacuum chambers or post-treatments can eliminate these defects, but these methods are impractical on a large scale. If similar high quality coatings could be produced in atmosphere and [...]
Corrosion in Petroleum Industry
The Petroleum industry contains a wide variety of corrosive environment s. Some of these, many are unique to this industry. Thus it is convenient to group all these environments together. Corrosion problems occur in the petroleum industry in at least three general areas: (1) production, (2) transportation and storage, and (3) refinery operations. Production. Oil [...]
Environmental problems by petroleum
The production and use of petroleum has given rise to several environmental problems. Toxic crude oil can be spilled on land or in water, poisoning plants and animals. The burning of fuels derived from petroleum releases toxic gases that pollute the air. Some scientists even believe that the burning of petroleum fuels contributes to global [...]
What Is a Seismic Survey?
A seismic survey is used to investigate Earth’s subterranean structure and is mainly used for oil and gas exploration. This method uses the principles of reflective seismology to acquire and interpret seismic data, which permits the estimation of the Earth’s composition. The technique is similar to that used by computerized axial tomography (CAT) scans, involving [...]
Iraq natural gas pipeline
Iraq has a major Natural Gas Pipeline with the capacity to supply around 240 MMcf/d to Baghdad from the West Qurna field. The 48-inch line was commissioned in November 1988, with phases II and III of the project never completed due to war and sanctions.
What is the difference between piping and pipeline? how about pipe?
Pipe = single unit of free laying pipe in reference generally rigid, metal carries fluids liquids or gas or vapor capable of handling high temperature and pressure Piping = compound noun for pipe work in general which includes a plurality of pipes, joints, valves, unions and other related equipment.
Natural gas processing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A natural gas processing plant Natural gas processing plants, or fractionators, are used to purify the raw natural gas produced from underground gas fields or extracted at the surface from the fluids produced from oil wells. A fully operational plant will deliver pipeline-quality natural gas that can be used as [...]
DESALTER INTERFACE CONTROL
DESALTER INTERFACE CONTROL INTRODUCTION: It is all too easy to forget that the primary function of the desalting system is the removal of inorganic chlorides and other water-soluble compounds from crude oil. One need not be a corrosion specialist to realize that the acids that form from these compounds can do tremendous, long-term damage in [...]
