Download or read book Expanding the Operational Envelope of Compact Cylindrical Cyclone Gas liquid Separators Using a Variable Inlet slot Configuration written by Ighofasan Uvwo and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the numerous advantages associated with using compact cylindrical cyclone gas/liquid separators, particularly for upstream production operations, the lack of a full understanding of the complex hydrodynamic process taking place in it and its "unfamiliarity" to oil field personnel has hindered its widespread use. The complexity associated with this technology is attributed to two limiting physical phenomena, liquid carry-over and gas carry-under. While a lot of work has been done to better understand and predict the liquid carry-over operational envelope, little or no information about methods capable of adequately predicting or characterizing the gas carry-under performance of such separators is available. Traditionally, to mitigate the gas carry-under phenomena, the use of complex control algorithms and systems has been employed. These systems make the technology expensive (as opposed to the potential cost reduction it promises) and impractical for realistic use in the oilfield where reliability is of critical importance. A simpler solution, the use of changeable or adjustable inlet-slots that regulate the artificial gravity environment created in the separator, could significantly improve the gas carry-under performance of cylindrical cyclone separators. This research has focused primarily on the use of adjustable inlet-slots. Theoretical analysis and experimental data investigating the benefits of variable inlet geometry have been provided. This work lays the foundation or validation required to perform more tests on a field-scale version to verify the results presented here. A modular design of such a variable inlet-slot inlet-section has the potential of simplifying the design and specifications of cylindrical cyclone gas/liquid separators. From the results of this investigation, it was found that the gas carry-under performance of a cylindrical cyclone gas/liquid separator could be improved considerably over a wider range of operating conditions by adjusting the size of the inlet-slots. This contradicts earlier reports of liquid carry-over improvement in separator performance. Also, for the first time, a simple method for theoretically analyzing the percent improvement in separator gas carry-under performance using the optimum g-force concept is presented. This method could be incorporated into design software for determining the slot-size configuration required for varying separator-operating conditions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vapor Liquid Separation Author Contact: Ronald J. Robichaux 1522 Savannah Drive, Garland, Texas 75041 E-mail: [email protected] My experience with separators led me to compile design information for the precise design of this type of equipment. These devices seem simple in their operations. However I have seen a number of them fail to provide the performance required in the process. Working with consultants, their many suggestions and rules of thumb to resolve the issues, has left me with concern as to how to best approach a design for a proper operating separator. I studied the works of many Engineers and designers and collected information from all the manufacturers I worked with in designing separators for my projects. I have read and collected many articles on the subject of separator design. In 1984 I had the opportunity to accept a position with Perry Equipment Corporation in Mineral Wells, Texas. The range of designs, research efforts and field trouble shooting left me with the understanding that "rules of thumb" are useful in a limited set of circumstances. Fortunately for the industry these set of circumstances are sufficient at about 75 to 90 percent of the time. One of the tasks I was given, while in their employ, was to attempt to place a scientific approach as to why these devices proved so successful in most situations, but failed in other situations. In order to develop a better understanding of the design parameters I wanted to know the physical properties of the fluids and their effect associated with separator failures and efficiencies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Development of shale assets in the United States has drastically increased the overall domestic oil production. This was achievable due to the advances in horizontal well drilling and hydraulic fracturing technology, which gave access to more reservoir rock and surface area. In addition, as wells declined in rate, artificial lift methods like the use of a beam pump, electric submersible pump (ESP), or gas lift physically helped bring the oil and gas to surface and extended the life of a well. Operational challenges such as containing costs to maintain ESPs and using beam pumps on high gas wells became significant factors in determining the economic viability of a well. In this study, we examined a method to improve oil and gas separation down-hole in the production tubing so that a beam-pump will lift primarily liquid to the surface. Simultaneously, the method ensures that an ESP will remain effective and not overheat, as reservoir pressure declines, to lift fluid to the depth of the separator. A gravity-based down-hole gas liquid separator/connector was constructed using three acrylic pipes, one set inside another, with the inner pipe intended to tie in to the production tubing. The outer two pipes acted together as a gravity separator and pump connector. Water and air was pumped at varying rates from the bottom to simulate the fluid an ESP would deliver to the separator/connector. A standing valve was built into the inner tube, and a rod with traveling valve was manually operated to simulate a beam pump. The water and air mixture was visually inspected inside the pump to determine the effectiveness of the separator. The point at which the separator will fail to keep gas bubbles larger than 0.25 inches from coming inside the pump was quantified using three function tests: 1) Allowable Gas-Liquid Ratio the separator will process, 2) Liquid Velocity falling down the middle tube of the separator, and 3) Annular Gas Superficial Velocity between outside and middle tube. After testing a variety of air/water rates through two different sized separators, the results showed that if a separator passed all three function tests for a given air/water rate, then it would successfully separate bubbles larger than 0.25 inches (approximately 6mm) from coming into the pump.

Book excerpt: This practical guide is designed to help engineers and operators develop a "feel" for selection, specification, operating parameters, and trouble-shooting separators; form an understanding of the uncertainties and assumptions inherent in operating the equipment. The goal is to help familiarize operators with the knowledge and tools required to understand design flaws and solve everyday operational problems for types of separators. The most important gas/liquid separations that take place in oil field operation have been investigated. An inventory has been made of the conditions under which the separations have to take place and which requirements have to be fulfilled. The presently available separator types have been evaluated with respect to the suitability to fulfil the requirements listed above. It appeared that many separator types were not specifically designed for high pressure gas/liquid separation (rather for either atmospheric gas/liquid or high pressure gas/dust separation). It also appeared that in many cases the behaviour of the separator could not be reliably predicted under the conditions of the practical application.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has been conceived to provide guidance on the theory and design of cyclone systems. Forthose new to the topic, a cyclone is, in its most basic form, a stationary mechanical device that utilizes centrifugal force to separate solid or liquid particles from a carrier gas. Gas enters near the top via a tangential or vaned inlet, which gives rise to an axially descending spiral of gas and a centrifugal force field that causes the incoming particles to concentrate along, and spiral down, the inner walls of the separator. The thus-segregated particulate phase is allowed to exit out an underflow pipe while the gas phase constricts, and - in most separators - reverses its axial direction of flow and exits out a separate overflow pipe. Cyclones are applied in both heavy and light industrial applications and may be designed as either classifiers or separators. Their applications are as plentiful as they are varied. Examples include their use in the separation or classification of powder coatings, plastic fines, sawdust, wood chips, sand, sintered/powdered meta!, plastic and meta! pellets, rock and mineral cmshings, carbon fines, grain products, pulverized coal, chalk, coal and coal ash, catalyst and petroleum coke fines, mist entrained off of various processing units and liquid components from scmbbing and drilling operations. They have even been applied to separate foam into its component gas and liquid phases in recent years.

This book was released on 2010-06-24 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Introduction: The production of oil is a complex technological procedure consisting of several equally important segments. One of the most important phases is the collection and preparation of oil, which affects the process of production from technical as well as from economical aspects. The choice and method of designing systems for oil collection and preparation is a very complex task that depends on the number of concrete parameters; this carries with it, above all, the difficulty in finding technology that will enable optimal work of wells as well as finding the continually and quality functioning of the entire production process. It is important to mention that each well is a case in itself; there are no broad or typical solutions for oil collection and preparation. Each production project on a field is involves individual solutions dependent upon situation-specific conditions. The most important factors in finding the best solutions are experience and knowledge of problem-solving methods in similar fields worldwide. As this is the case, this thesis is based on analysis of a selection of different fields from around the worlds that, combined, represent one system of oil collection and preparation and should satisfy even the strictest criteria. At oil-gas field (X), 27 wells are drilled and prepared in the development phase for oil and gas production. The average production of peripheral wells involves around 20 m3/24h of oil, 10 m3/24h water, 800 m3 s/24h gas; while central wells involve the production of 35 m3/24h oil 1000 m3 s/24h of gas. Pressure at the well head of the well is 30 [bar], and the temperature is 30° C. The shape of the field and layout of wells are shown in diagram (1). The following are needed to define the design: - optimal scheme for collection of production fluids; - optimal technological scheme for collective station with basic elements; - basic parameters of all elements for collective station. When defining the collection scheme, it is necessary to take in account the number of wells, geographic layout of the wells, technical and economical functionality of the chosen scheme of collection etc. In defining the scheme of the collective station, it is necessary to design technology that enables the collection of produced fluids and their separation as well as the preparation of further transport, disposing of and sending the water without endangering the human environment etc. Additionally, the [...]
