This book was released on 2016-03-22 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diluted bitumen has been transported by pipeline in the United States for more than 40 years, with the amount increasing recently as a result of improved extraction technologies and resulting increases in production and exportation of Canadian diluted bitumen. The increased importation of Canadian diluted bitumen to the United States has strained the existing pipeline capacity and contributed to the expansion of pipeline mileage over the past 5 years. Although rising North American crude oil production has resulted in greater transport of crude oil by rail or tanker, oil pipelines continue to deliver the vast majority of crude oil supplies to U.S. refineries. Spills of Diluted Bitumen from Pipelines examines the current state of knowledge and identifies the relevant properties and characteristics of the transport, fate, and effects of diluted bitumen and commonly transported crude oils when spilled in the environment. This report assesses whether the differences between properties of diluted bitumen and those of other commonly transported crude oils warrant modifications to the regulations governing spill response plans and cleanup. Given the nature of pipeline operations, response planning, and the oil industry, the recommendations outlined in this study are broadly applicable to other modes of transportation as well.

Download or read book Crude Oil Components with Affinity for Gas Hydrates in Petroleum Production written by Anna Elisabet Borgund and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some crude oils are believed to contain natural inhibiting components that can prevent hydrate plugging of oil pipelines in petroleum production. A method for classification of the oils that form hydrate plugs, as opposed to those that are not problematical, can change the hydrate inhibiting strategies for oil companies, and result in both economical savings and environmental improvements. Furthermore, an identification of natural hydrate plug inhibiting components can eventually give rise to development of more economical and environmentally friendly inhibitors that can be added to crude oil in pipelines. This thesis addresses the issues of chemical characterisation of crude oil with respect to identification of natural plug inhibiting components. Natural plug inhibiting components are probably hydrate surface active, e.g. an acid fraction has previously been shown to be able to convert a plugging oil into a non-plugging oil when added in a low concentration. In this work, methods for extraction of surface active compounds in crude oil have been established; two methods for acid extraction have been tested (liquid-liquid and ion exchange), and in addition components with affinity for freon hydrate and ice surfaces have been extracted. The extracts have been characterised with chromatographic and spectroscopic methods, e.g. an HPLC method for separation of extracts into four groups have been developed; non-polar compounds, saturated carboxylic acids, phenolic compounds and polyfunctional compounds. The results show that the ion exchange is more effective than the liquidliquid method for extraction of acids from crude oil. Freon hydrates are found to extract a specific fraction with polar compounds from crude oil, while ice does not seem to be a good surface for extraction of components. Compounds which absorb to hydrate surfaces are found to be dominated by saturated carboxylic acids, and to contain lower amounts of phenols and polyfunctional compounds. In general, crude oil extracts primarily contain components of intermediate molecular weights. This means that neither high-molecular compounds such as asphaltenes, nor simple low-molecular petroleum acids and bases are present to a large extent in these extracts. FTIR analysis can to some degree differentiate between freon hydrate extracts from plugging and non-plugging crude oils. GC-MS is not suited for the extracts used in this thesis due to limitations regarding molecular weights and low volatility. LC-MS analysis with Ion Trap MS has been tested at the University of Newcastle, but was not optimal for our samples. The freon hydrate extracts have been analysed for compounds similar to a biosurfactant structure, but no such compounds could be found. No structural identification of the natural inhibiting components have been obtained. However, new methods for extraction of components with affinity for freon hydrate and ice surfaces have been developed and acid extraction methods from the literature have been tested. In addition, a set of analytical methods that can characterise the fractions have been established. One reason for the difficulty of identifying the natural inhibiting components can be that they are present in very low amounts, but it may also be that the distribution of compounds in the fractions is as important as the presence of specific molecules.
