APPLICATION: Gun-barrel separators utilization to ensure full loads?” Truck unloading into tank battery for saltwater/oil storage Location of injection well CHALLENGES Ineffective measurement of the emulsion (rag) layer in the gun-barrel separator means: • Unclear understanding of total tank battery capacities at wellsites and saltwater disposal facilities (separators and storage tanks) • Increased cost due to trucks being dispatched to remote sites with sufficient capacity of “unwanted” liquids (water, gas condensates, etc.) • During saltwater disposal, if oil is extracted into the disposal well it is not only lost revenue but causes potential plugging, rework costs and downtime • Any residual oil in the saltwater limits the well capacity and eventually it must be reworked at a significant cost SOLUTION Magnetrol® level devices allow for better management and utilization of resources, such as trucks not being dispatched to remote sites with sufficient capacity • Effectively measures the total level in the gun-barrel tank, as well as the oil-water emulsion (rag) layer • Optimal performance even for thin rag layers • Single transmitter design for total level and interface; increasing familiarity and reducing training • Communicates through the desired protocols, is faster to commission and requires little power to cycle up and down RESULTS Better level measurement and more effective separation of oil and saltwater • Clearer understanding of the day-to-day storage of “unwanted” liquids • Better management and utilization of resources, such as trucks only being dispatched to remote sites with insufficient tank battery capacity • Prevents potential plugging of disposal well and rework costs • Simplified commissioning and training with communication through desired protocols
