Heavy crude oils possess a distinct chemical composition that presents numerous technical obstacles. In this recent publication, four specialists in heavy oil and bitumen delve into a comprehensive examination of the intricacies surrounding this unconventional petroleum source. Due to its elevated viscosity and intricate hydrocarbon makeup, heavy oil necessitates the application of innovative methodologies by technical professionals to facilitate its movement within a porous formation, through the production process, and ultimately for treatment and conversion into valuable end products. Despite the widespread availability of deposits worldwide, the extraction, transportation, and refinement of this dense hydrocarbon demand advanced skills and processes. #exploration #production #refining #oilandgas #energybooks https://buff.ly/454SyJU

😁 It's time for some #WednesdayWisdom with Oilfield Technology 🍂 This week we are looking at an article from our Autumn 2021 issue, where Shadi Aoun and Manisha B., Sulzer, explained how to maintain high performance in triethylene glycol contactors in order to dehydrate gas effectively during reservoir pressure depletion. 💬 "Oil and gas reservoirs face a decline in pressure over time, leading to reduced production rates that may make the extraction of resources economically unsustainable. If there is not enough energy in the form of reservoir pressure to overcome surface and hydrostatic pressure in the wellbore, hydrocarbon gases and liquids will not flow to the surface, regardless of their volumes in the reservoir" Register for your FREE issue here 👇 https://lnkd.in/dKc9dM9

Did you know that the Natural Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) we use every day is more than just propane and butane? It comes mixed with acidic contaminants like carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide, which are highly corrosive. These gases need to be scrubbed from the petroleum gas as they are highly corrosive. This purification step, referred to as «sweetening», is often performed by using alkaline amine solutions.

Scale Inhibitor Test aims to assess the efficiency of a given inhibitor to avoid scale formation. It also allows to determine the required and desired Minimum Inhibitor Concentration (MIC) in order to prevent scaling. There are several kind of scales in tubes. The mineral deposits precipates and tend to ahere to the inner surfaces of the tubes. These deposits can cause perforations of coat, casing, … There are two kinds of scale mechanisms: ·      Self-scaling: occurs when there is a change in temperature, pressure and/or chemistries leading to salts precipitation; Incompatible waters: occurs when a brine is injected into the formation to maintain well pressure and sweep the oil to the producing wells, transporting formation water. Salts may precipitation in the formation or in the wellbore. ISQ is providing Scale Inhibitor test for the Oil&Gas Companies. #ISQ #Oil&Gas #Industry #Scale Inhibitor #Scale Pipes

What Does Hydrogen Sulfide Scavenger (H2S Scavenger) Mean?🧐🧐 A hydrogen sulfide (H2S) scavenger is a specialized chemical or fuel additive widely used in hydrocarbon and chemical processing facilities. These specialized chemicals react selectively with and remove H2S to help meet product and process specifications.👊👊 Products treated for H2S include crude oil, fuels, and other refined petroleum products in storage tanks, tanker ships, rail-cars and pipelines.👏👏 Hydrogen sulfide can cause damage to pipework, either by reacting directly with steel to create an iron sulfide corrosion film, or by increasing the acidity of the liquid/gas mixture in the pipes. When dissolved in water, H2S may be oxidized to form elemental sulfur. This can also produce an iron sulfide corrosion film when in direct contact with the metal surface. Therefore, it is essential to remove H2S from crude oil as quickly and efficiently as possible.💯💯 #sulfur #remove #desulfurization #biogas #renewableenergy #H2Sscrubber #H2Spurifier #sustainability #acidgas #ChemicalEngineering #biogasdesulfurization #biologicaltreatment #biologicaldesulfurization #environmentally #SustainableEngineering #RenewableNaturalGas #GreenEnergy #OxygenRemoval #BiogasUpgrading #RenewableEngineering #CleanEnergy #H2Sscavenger #H2Sadsorbent #Solidadsorbent #FlueGasDesulfurization

Note : 9 lumps network Thermal Cracking: A Brief Overview Thermal cracking is a process in the oil refining industry used to break down large, complex hydrocarbon molecules into smaller, more valuable ones, such as gasoline, diesel, and other light hydrocarbons. This is achieved by subjecting the heavy hydrocarbons to high temperatures, typically in the range of 450–750°C, without the presence of a catalyst. The process generates a mix of alkanes, alkenes, and smaller fragments, which are essential feedstocks for further refining processes or direct fuel use. 9 Lumps Cracking Network: Mid-Sized Information In the context of thermal cracking, a "9 lumps cracking network" refers to a kinetic model used to simulate and predict the outcomes of the cracking process. The term "lumps" refers to groups of hydrocarbons that are categorized based on their chemical properties, such as molecular structure or boiling points. These lumps represent the different fractions or species of hydrocarbons within the crude oil or feedstock. In a 9 lumps model, the hydrocarbons are divided into nine distinct groups. These could include: Methane (C1) Ethane (C2) Propane (C3) Butanes (C4) Gasoline range (C5-C10) Diesel range (C11-C20) Heavy hydrocarbons Aromatics Residual oil #ThermalCracking #OilAndGas #PetrochemicalEngineering #RefiningProcesses #ChemicalEngineering #ProcessOptimization #KineticModeling #HydrocarbonProcessing #CrackingTechnology #RefineryOperations #ProcessEngineering #DownstreamOilAndGas #CatalyticCracking #EnergyIndustry #PetroleumRefining
