Part two dives deeper into the role of catalytic heaters in the gas conditioning process and how they contribute to ensuring smooth operations and mitigating potential risks such as damage to equipment and infrastructure and blockages in pipelines.
In the natural gas industry, maintaining the integrity and efficiency of gas systems is of utmost importance to avoid unnecessary downtime and ensure a reliable supply. One critical aspect is gas conditioning, which involves the removal of impurities to make the gas suitable for various applications.
However, it’s not just about removing impurities; managing gas pressure throughout the conditioning process is equally crucial.
Texas is known for its unpredictable weather patterns, with significant fluctuations in temperature throughout the year. These climate shifts can have substantial implications for both natural gas facilities and the population of Texas as a whole…
There is no consensus on how to manage industrial freeze prevention or protection. But we can agree there are common best practices: a good plan typically consists of heating and insulation. The right system is highly dependent on your equipment…
Polyethylene Pipe in the Oil and Gas Industry From longer lasting to increased flexibility, increased efficiency and innovative installation; high density polyethylene pipes are rapidly becoming the industry standard for oil and gas gathering. Beyond those advantages, the most impactful is that it meets all the standards required to transport natural and other gases, per federal regulations in compliance with 49 CFR 192.
While many industries are ending 2022 with tight cash flows, the upstream oil and gas industry is seeing a record year, experiencing a compound annual growth rate of 5.9%. The COVID-19 pandemic, years of underinvestment, and geopolitical developments led energy commodity prices to rise to record levels, giving the upstream sector…
Oil and gas companies have only recently begun to realize the full potential of big data in the industry. Data-recording sensors upstream can boost efficiency, increase safety…
The United States is positioning itself to become the world’s largest exporter of liquified natural gas (LNG) once again in 2023. The U.S. has been the world’s largest producer of petroleum since 2018 and the largest producer of natural gas since 2011. During the first two quarters of 2022, the U.S. also became…
The United States oil and gas industry has gained momentum heading into 2023 due in no small part to the renewed interest in natural gas as the country transitions to clean energy. Natural gas has earned a somewhat-unjustified reputation as nothing more than an affordable byproduct…
