Ways to Reduce Oil and Gas Lease Operating Expenses
For onshore oil & gas producers, squeezing every expense possible from the production and custody transfer process means the difference between flowing and shutting in the wells. In an RBN Energy post, LOE-Down - Understanding Lease Operating Expenses And How They...
Reducing Unaccounted Oil and Gas Production Uncertainty
Author: Michael Machuca Management of well pad inventory, allocation and custody transfers encompasses multiple operations that contribute to overall production management uncertainty. The accumulated measurement errors and variability in operations within a storage...
Optimizing Well Pad Production and Storage
Where new production was once the major focus, optimizing existing oil & gas well pads and production facilities is now high on the priority list to reduce operating costs. In an American Oil & Gas Reporter article, Production Optimization: 'Systems' Approach...
Maximizing Production through Optimized Gas Lifting
The vast majority of oil wells require some type of artificial lift method to bring the wellbore fluids to the surface. Four major lift methods include: Electric submersible pump (ESP) Gas lift Hydraulic pump (piston and jet pump) Beam pump Gas lift works by injecting...
Improving Capital Efficiency in Well Pad Automation
A colleague pointed me to an article with an in depth analysis on the reasons behind the drop in oil price over the past several months. This economic climate makes oil & gas production project and operational efficiency even more important. At last summer's...
Improving Well Pad Tank Management
As global oil prices decline, the need to produce onshore oil and gas from well pads more efficiently grows. In series of Well Pad Automation Webinars, one of the webinars addressed how to ensure production measurement compliance, control emissions and optimized...
Best Practices in Well Pad Automation
As technologies such as horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing have advanced, so has the number of multi-well pad sites and the need for standardized process automation and instrumentation. The goal of these automation technologies is to help bring first...
