A multi‐attribute decision analysis for decommissioning offshore oil and gas platforms
The 27 oil and gas platforms off the coast of southern California are reaching the end of their economic lives. Because their decommissioning involves large costs and potential environmental impacts, this became an issue of public controversy. As part of a larger policy analysis conducted for the State of California, we implemented a decision analysis as a software tool (PLATFORM) to clarify ...

Design and implementation of oil and gas pool–forming simulation project database based on oilfield database
Most previous oil and gas pool–forming simulation systems running on stand–alone computers cannot maintain the consistency of fundamental data and the sharing abilities of research results. Nowadays, most of key research results have been achieved cooperatively. In combination with the features of oil field database, this paper analyses the oil and gas pool–forming simulation methods and explores ...

Evaluating alternatives for decommissioning California's offshore oil and gas platforms
This paper introduces a series of six additional papers in this issue that describe an in‐depth analysis of options for decommissioning oil and gas platforms offshore southern California. While current leases require lessees in both state and federal waters to completely remove all production facilities and restore the seafloor to its pre‐platform condition, other options have emerged since ...

Asset integrity management: sustainability in action
The current industrial demand is to be more 'green', whilst increasing pressure for formulating policies and strategies for sustainable asset performance. Asset integrity management issues conceived within oil and gas (O&G) sector in terms of the long-established paradigm seemingly is unsustainable. The conventional industrial paradigm of unlimited growth appears to be unsustainable as it ...

A review of layer of protection analysis techniques for oil and gas industry
The paper indicates advantages (and disadvantages) of layer of protection analysis (LOPA) over other methods to support its paramount position among different process safety analysis (PSA) methods in use today. Its simplicity (using order-of-magnitude estimates for all elements that constitute an accident scenario), universality (easy adaptation to particular needs), directness to indicate the ...

Transformer oil FTIR testing | Spectroscopy Solutions
The United Kingdom is powered by a huge grid of pylons, conducting electricy across hundreds of miles. Thanks to this network of transmitters, we can switch on the lights, boil a kettle and visit the Specac website to read this article. Like any piece of equipment, pylons require maintenance. As high voltage electricy (up to 750,000 volts) surges through the pylons, transformers are used to ...

Tips for refinery gas analysis
Refinery gas analysis (RGA) is an important application in oil and gas which characterizes the gases produced during crude oil refining, including stack emission, flame and reformate streams. The challenge in RGA analysis is the reliable analysis of variable sources and compositions of gases produced via fluid catalytic cracking (FCC). The analysis must be quick and accurate to allow engineers ...

Precision solution for FID gas
The Flame Ionisation Detector (FID) detector is the most commonly used detector in Gas Chromatography with around 90% of GCs equipped with at least one. The FID can be used in almost any organic analysis, and is sensitive down to the parts-per-billion (PPB) range, which is the reason for its widespread use in GC analysis in areas from oil and gas, to food and pharmaceuticals. The FID works by ...

Accuracy In Adversity
It is a fact of the industry that oil and gas companies are required, by various rules and regulations, to routinely perform gas sampling to establish gas composition, flow rates and gas properties. In order to comply with regulations, gas sampling tools must achieve high accuracy at low flows with varying gas compositions, temperatures and pressures. For many technologies, these requirements can ...

Development of empirical correlations for predicting formation of gas hydrate
Gas hydrates are a recurring problem in the oil industry where they plug production and transmission lines resulting into flow impairment. In order to avoid costly losses due to the formation of these hydrates, several methods which include thermodynamic modelling and empirical correlations can be employed to predict the conditions for hydrate formation. This study employed Statistical Analysis ...
