The multiphase pump is a pump which can transport liquid as well as gas. The multiphase pumping doesn’t require separation of oil, gas or water. Production from field can be gathered and transported to a central processing area without requiring separate flow lines, separators, heat treaters, tanks, flares, stock pumps and compressor make this technology a simpler and economical compare to conventional methods. It is an isothermal machine in which the heat generated by compressing gas is carried away by the flow stream through the pump, contrary to a compressor, which is an adiabatic machine and requires additional cooling. The pictorial representation showing advantage of multiphase pump over conventional system is shown below: Conventional …show more content…
In addition, the economics of multiphase production is attractive to upstream operations as it leads to simpler, smaller in-field installations, reduced equipment costs and improved production rates. In essence, the multiphase pump can accommodate all fluid stream properties with one piece of equipment, which has a smaller footprint. Often, two smaller multiphase pumps are installed in series rather than having just one massive pump. For midstream and upstream operations, multiphase pumps can be located onshore or offshore and can be connected to single or multiple wellheads. Basically, multiphase pumps are used to transport the untreated flow stream produced from oil wells to downstream processes or gathering facilities. This means that the pump may handle a flow stream (well stream) from 100 percent gas to 100 percent liquid and every imaginable combination in between. The flow stream can also contain abrasives such as sand and dirt. Multiphase pumps are designed to operate under changing/fluctuating process conditions. Multiphase pumping also helps eliminate emissions of greenhouse gases as operators strive to minimize the flaring of gas and the venting of tanks where …show more content…
This saved nearly $84,000/year and restored production for October through June, paying out the multiphase pump installation in 1.1 years. The major advantage of using multiphase pumps are listed below: • Facility reduction: Moving the well flow to central processing, eliminating facilities. Reduce CAPEX & OPEX. • Draw down/Boosting: Production acceleration. Debottlenecking. Increased ultimate recovery. • Environmental impact: Eliminating flaring and venting of gas. Reducing carbon emissions. Small foot print compared to conventional. • Flow Assurance: Mitigate Hydrate formation. Deal with Heavy Oil, Emulsions and Wax issues. • Annulus/Wet gas: Increased well inflow by reducing annulus gas pressure. Flowing water logged gas wells. • Subsea application: Boosting from the sea floor. Produce deep water well • Stage design changes to compensate for gas compression through the pump • Horizontal (onshore) or vertical (subsea) configurations to fit the
For example, Hydrofracking; What is hydrofracking? Gas industries use hydrofracking to extract natural gases from shale ground in order to power Americans homes. When gas industries hydrofrack, they dig ten-thousand feet into the mantle of the earth and turn perpendicular to the t into shale layers with cement and steel casing to prevent leaks. Then rupture the layer of sediment with high pressures of water, sand and a plethora of chemicals. Once the chemicals are saturated in the crevices of the drill site, they extract the excess fluid and then ship them to market.
purpose we use this for is to drill wells into so that we may obtain the water that
Use it as a regular pump or sump pump. It is capable of lifting 1200 to 1800 gallons every hour continuously. Simple connectivity, suitability to many applications, and zero operational criticalities of the 91250 makes it a perfect choice. In fact, its highest portability makes it suitable for carrying it anywhere you go. CSA certification, UL/CUL listing, and suitability to standard GFCI-protected outlet makes it compatible to building codes. Superior Pump has offered a completely reliable pumping solution at an economical price band making it an irresistible
Gas in shale formations are“low in permeability,” making it very tedious to extract, but with the increase in technological knowledge in fracking and horizontally drilling into shale beds, the vast reserves of natural gas resource could be extracted (4). Fracking is a large industrial operation that boost the “productivity of a oil or gas well” (5). It is a process by which, under very high pressure, a mixture of water, chemicals, and sand, are pumped into shale formations that causes fractures in the rocks to open wider or create new fractures that would allow otherwise trapped oil and gas to flow into the wells (6).
Ever since the process of hydraulic fracturing—or fracking—made its entrance to the oil industry, issues and problems surrounding the process have become a common occurrence. Fracking is the controversial process of horizontal drilling (see fig. 1), where millions of gallons of water mixed with sand and chemicals are pumped deep into an oil well to extract natural gas from the earth’s crust (Ehrenberg 20). This practice has even been banned in some places (see fig. 1). The methane that comes out of the earth and the water used—called fracking fluid—has the potential to cause problems with local ground water supplies. Whether or not fracking is the cause of these problems, concern should be observed during the fracking process to reduce the chances of water contamination among residential areas.

Organizational changes that reduce cost. The M&S reduced its management levels to reduce the cost.
Another use of hydropower is pumped storage. In pumped storage plants, water is pumped from low resevoirs to a higher reservoir during off peak times, using electricity from different types of generators. Operators release it back into the lower reservoir through turbines if power is needed. Some power is initially lost, but pumped storage systems can be about 80 percent efficient. Sometimes it's important to meet power demands where hydro plants have an advantage in their abilities when they also have reservoirs. Most plants may only produce hydro power all the time and can't be adjusted when it comes to wanting more power in times of need. Whereas hydro plants with dams save up the water and allow it to flow only during peak times. These peak times can be beneficial to whitewater enthusiasts, but can also inhibit fishing opportunities because of the increased water flow.

The purpose of this experiment is to examine the performance and characteristics of a centrifugal pump, its motor, and the corresponding piping system, used to pump an ethylene glycol solution. The pump used in this experiment has a performance curve based on water, so pump performance curves, as well as motor performance curves, will be developed over a wide range of flow rates to determine the effect that the liquid viscosity and density have on the performance of this pump. Also, the pressure drop of the piping system will be examined to determine the extent of, if any, fouling in the pipes.
The use of hydraulic fracturing has caused many environmental problems in the waters of the United States. Improved drilling and extraction technology used to access low permeability natural gas requires millions of gallons of water and a lot of chemicals that may be toxic to marine life.Many people in both the field of science and the community of everyday concerned citizens about the quickly depleting supply of natural resources in the United States caused by hydraulic fracturing. These natural gases will soon no longer be readily available for use in America. Hydraulic fracturing bases are most commonly found near roads and stagnant waters such as lakes and ponds. These roads can cause water to drain into these open lakes and ponds, which
Suction and lift are paramount contemplations when pumping liquids. Suction is the vertical separation between the liquid to be pumped and the core of the pump, while lift is the vertical separation between the pump and the conveyance point. The profundity from which a hand pump will suck is restricted by air weight to a working profundity of less than 7 meters. The depth to which a hand pump will lift is administered by the capacity of the pump and the driver to lift the weight in t...
The cutback of miles from farm to plate ultimately minimizes the gas emitted into the environment.
From the 1970s to the 1990s, pipelines became far more versatile than before. More pipelines were being used to transport natural gas, such as carbon dioxide for oil recovery and other natural gas liquids for a growing heating industry. Pipelines were being constructed to gather oil and gases more than a mile beneath the bottom of the
