Case Study Metering pumps for gas extraction

Offshore gas field prevents pipeline blockages with Exakta chemical injection solution When Petrobel, the operator of the Baltim South West 2X gas well off the Egyptian coast, struck a 102-metre gas column, one of its priorities was to ensure efficient and continued flow within pipelines during extraction. A major obstacle Petrobel faced was the common problem of hydrates, which are ice-like solids that form when water and gas combine and crystallize in a high-temperature, low-pressure environment. The formation of hydrates in oil and gas pipelines causes reduced capacity and eventually a...

Following a comprehensive assessment of the process between Exakta and Petrobel, it was decided to use 12 Nexa Series packed plunger dosing pumps with multi-head setup for glycol dosing. These were mounted on a large rig that could be transported as a complete unit to a fixed offshore platform ready for installation. Nexa Series pumps were selected for their flexible configuration, superior dosing accuracy and excellent reliability, representing the best solution to cope with the harsh environmental conditions and fluctuating temperatures encountered in oil and gas applications.
