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 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 …
In this video, Derek explains what flash gas is, how it’s created, and methods to successfully capture/recover it. He quickly overviews the hydrocarbon phase diagram and then discusses how flash gas is created by pressure changes during the production of …
EPISODE SUMMARY In this episode, Derek gives some extended updates regarding Oilfield Basics and also covers some basic considerations of workover rig operations.
How much do you know about brine water trucks? Check out this great video walk around of a water truck by Darrell Satterfield of Contractor Transport, LLC.
In this video, Sebastian walks us through how to calculate your bottom hole flowing pressure if you have your casing pressure. This is an important calculation used by production engineers to construct IPR (Inflow Performance Relationship) curves to determine well …
In this video, Matt Tourigny from Deep Well Services shows us how their company is utilizing virtual reality to help train their staff (and even us) on the simple (yet critical) steps of snubbing operations. Snubbing is when you enter …
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 …
Welcome to another Oilfield Basics video blog. In this video, we examine the topic of natural migration of oil & gas (hydrocarbons). We discuss why and how natural migration occurs, what traps hydrocarbons, ways that oil can seep out of …
