Hydrocarbon processing plants often focus on purchasing a GC that can handle the gas analysis application at the best price and only consider the cost of the GC. This approach ignores significant expenses required for the installation and operation of the GC. Learn about the hidden costs in GC installations and steps you can take to avoid them.

Shawcor, a Canada-based energy services company, faced the challenge of needing to create an automated, custom handling machine to load and unload large glass reinforcement tape pads. The cost and long lead times needed to make the custom parts for the machine was unreasonable, so they had to explore other options. Read on to see how Shawcor leveraged carbon fiber 3D printing to replace aluminum and sheet metal parts, while saving $27,000 CAD with 53 unique 3D printed parts.

See how upgrading your Flowsic600 "Classic" ultrasonic meters to the new XT Gateway head will give you increased I/O, no impact on metrology, no recalibration and lengthen your meters service life.

Some pipelines cannot be thoroughly inspected or maintained, using standard operational pigs or In Line Inspection tools. This is counterproductive and may even be a pipeline safety and integrity non-compliance issue. 

This paper discusses a case study where DNV GL type approved, double block and bleed isolation technology, has been utilized to safely retrofit pigging facilities in a live pipeline system without affecting production.  

Nearly 10 years after the tidal wave known as the Bakken hit North Dakota, catapulting the state to the second most prolific oil producing state behind Texas and eclipsing production from historically oil-rich states such as Alaska, California and Oklahoma, the region continues to experience growing pains. 
 
As a result, companies are busying themselves trying to figure out how many expanded existing systems are needed and how many are designed for open markets. The result of this will be that more infrastructure will be built for all fuels.

Mexico has executed a five-year plan (2015-2019) for the expansion of natural gas transportation and storage systems. Since 2012, 1,496 miles of natural gas pipelines have been added to the national grid, and it is estimated that by the end of 2019 that amount will total 5,420 miles.

Download this whitepaper to learn how the growth in natural gas trade with Mexico will help satisfy the country’s energy demand for industrial use, supply its power thermoelectric plants and open new markets to foster future economic development.

Oil production in the Permian Basin is booming and the demand for pipeline infrastructure to accommodate necessary takeaway capacity is growing. As production surges in the region, midstream companies are rushing to build pipelines to debottleneck capacity constraints and move supply to US Gulf Coast markets. Download this whitepaper to learn more about the developing pipeline infrastructure in the Permian Basin that will provide sufficient takeaway capacity to keep pace with production growth.
