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 …
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 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. Transcript – Hydrates, and no, not that kind of …
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 …
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 …
In this video, Oilfield Basics contributor Joel Gremillion goes through a typical wellsite setup. On this well, it is being rod lifted (by pumpjack which is ran off the well’s own casing gas). He also explains separation equipment such as …
In this video, Derek walks you through the difference between CAPEX and OPEX costs, as seen in the oil and gas industry. He also provides examples of each and speaks to their importance. Be sure to watch the video in …
In this video, David Dahlgren with Flowco Production Solutions shows us a plunger lift display model. It simulates production casing, tubing, the reservoir, surface separator, lubricator, downhole bumper spring assembly, and the plunger itself. This model also can simulate what …
In this video, we interview Scott Gillespie with Apergy, a company centered around artificial lift. Their rod-lift model is perfect for visually observing what happens downhole! In the model, we have a pump barrel, a traveling, and a standing valve. The traveling …
In this video, we get a hands-on review of Halliburton’s New iCruise™ Intelligent Rotary Steerable System! You’ll learn more about the basics of directional drilling, as well as what makes Halliburton’s new directional BHA so exciting. This new tool is …
