Vertical Heater Treater in the Oilfield
zhlédnutí 3,3KPřed rokem
Heater treaters are one of the multiple options for separation equipment on an oil and gas production site. In this video, our intern (Aaron) alongside Dennis with ARC Energy, gives an in-depth look at the components of a vertical heater treater and explains their respective functions. 0:00 Introduction & Site Walk Down 1:00 Internals of Vertical Heater Treater 1:47 Firetube & External Componen...
Erosion vs. Corrosion
zhlédnutí 9KPřed 2 lety
In the oil and gas industry, we take mechanical integrity seriously. In this video, you can see the difference between corrosion and erosion of piping inside a line heater. Corrosion and erosion are both types of failure mechanisms we find in our industry and being able to properly diagnose how piping fails is crucial to preventing more failures in the future. Great work to the folks at ARC Ene...

In this video, our petroleum engineering intern (Grace West) walks you through what hydrates are, how and when they form, challenges associated with hydrates, and even how to mitigate hydrate formation.
What Are Oil and Gas Production Facilities?
zhlédnutí 11KPřed 2 lety
In this video, we learn the basics of oil and gas production facilities. To summarize, these facilities must separate, treat, and store (or ship) everything that came out of the well(s). In this video, we also review why facilities differ from each other, common components, examples, and ongoing initiatives in industry design. 0:00 Introduction 0:45 Purpose & Function 2:15 Design Factors & Cons...
Natural Gas Dehydration System (Using Glycol)
zhlédnutí 16KPřed 2 lety
Natural gas dehydration systems are commonly used in midstream applications as well as upstream applications where gas is compressed or produced at high pressures. In this video, ARC Energy partners with Oilfield Basics to explain not only how the system works, but also to show all of the major components. 0:00 Intro & Where Dehydration is Needed 1:37 Why & How to Dehydrate Natural Gas 3:09 Fil...
