Frequently Asked Questions
What certifications are required for sensors in oil and gas fields?
Instruments must typically carry Explosion-Proof (Ex d) or Intrinsically Safe (Ex ia) certifications (ATEX, IECEx, or FM) to prevent spark ignition in environments where flammable gases or vapors are present.
How is the interface between oil and water measured in a separator?
Guided Wave Radar (GWR) or magnetostrictive level transmitters are ideal for interface measurement. They can detect two distinct liquid layers (oil on top, water on bottom) based on the difference in dielectric constants.
Which flow meter is best for high-pressure water injection applications?
High-pressure electromagnetic flow meters (rated for 2500# ANSI or higher) are often used for conductive water injection. For non-conductive fluids or extremely high pressures, Coriolis or Ultrasonic meters are preferred.
How is gas flow measured with changing pressure and temperature?
A Multivariable Transmitter or a Vortex Flow Meter with built-in pressure and temperature compensation is essential. It automatically corrects the volumetric flow to "Standard" or "Normal" volume (SCFM/Nm3/h) for accurate mass balancing.
Can a standard pressure transmitter be used for sour gas (H2S)?
No. Standard stainless steel can suffer from sulfide stress cracking. Specifications must include a Gold-plated diaphragm or, more commonly, a Hastelloy C diaphragm compliant with NACE MR0175 standards for H2S service.
What is the most accurate method for custody transfer of crude oil?
Coriolis mass flow meters are the premier choice for custody transfer due to their high accuracy (typically 0.1%) and ability to measure mass directly, independent of fluid properties like viscosity or density changes.
How is mud pit level monitored during drilling?
Ultrasonic level sensors are cost-effective and common for mud pits. For pits with heavy vapor or foam, or for higher precision, non-contact radar sensors are the superior, low-maintenance alternative.
How can a pipeline leak be detected remotely?
Combining high-accuracy flow meters at both ends of a pipeline section with pressure transmitters allows a control system to detect imbalances (mass balance method) or pressure waves that indicate a leak.
