What are the main hazards of oil sludge sand in oil fields?

1) Affecting normal production: Oil silt sand in the oil field will greatly reduce the water absorption of the oil layer, and the water injection pressure will continue to rise. This is mainly because the suspended solids are seriously exceeding the standard, which makes the formation easy to block, and the large-sized sediment is stored in the sewage purification tank, oil-water separation tank, and sewage pool for a long time, which will make the working performance of the production equipment impossible. Resulting in a decrease in production efficiency and production quality in the production process, so it has a great impact on production. 2) Environmental hazards: the organic components and heavy metal components of oil mud sand in the oil field, and a large number of aromatic hydroca

Eni announces new oil and gas discovery in Egypt’s Western Desert

According to a report by the Global Energy News Network on April 19, recently, Eni Group announced that it has discovered new oil and natural gas in the Meleiha block in the Western Desert of Egypt, with reserves of about 8,500 barrels per day of oil equivalent. These new discoveries have been linked to production under an infrastructure-led exploration strategy, maximizing exploration opportunities near existing infrastructure. 60m of net hydrocarbon formation in Cretaceous-Jurassic Alam El Bueib Khatatba formation via Nada E Deep 1X and 30m in Cretaceous-Jurassic sandstone in Matruh Khatatba formation via Meleiha SE Deep 1X 35 meters of net oil and gas reservoirs were discovered in the large Cretaceous sandstone of Alam El Bueib in Well Emry Deep 21. These results, combined with a total

KOSUN Drilling Fluid Cleaner can meet the needs for Desilting and Sand Removal

The Drilling Fluid Cleaner is mainly composed of an underflow shale shaker, a sand removal cyclone, a mud removal cyclone, etc. The drilling fluid cleaner has a compact structure, a small footprint, a wide range of applications and powerful functions; the sand removal cyclone can be adjusted according to the number of cyclones and desilting cyclones can be used to change the processing capacity of the drilling fluid cleaner, which can meet the processing needs of various users. The drilling fluid cleaner is currently widely used at home and abroad. The mud cleaner has the advantages of saving space and reducing costs, and can completely replace the desander and desilter in some drilling projects. Overall requirements for drilling fluid cleaner s: 1. There should be a lifting ring on the to

Indian oil major will expand oil exploration significantly

Indias state-owned Oil and Gas Corporation (ONGC) plans to quadruple its exploration and development area by 2025, from the current 127,000 square kilometers to 500,000 square kilometers, said by Indian Oil and Gas Minister Hardeep Singh Puri. As the worlds third-largest oil importer, India seeks to reduce its heavy reliance on crude imports. Shell ordered to temporarily halt exploration in South Africa A South African high court on Tuesday issued an injunction preventing Shell from conducting seismic tests on South Africas pristine Wild Coast. The ruling follows a public outcry over Shells project on South Africas Wild Coast. Shell insists the practice has been used to explore for oil and gas for decades, but has expressed its willingness to suspend exploration in deference to a local cou

The function and working process of KOSUN Mud Gas Separator

KOSUN Mud Gas Separator system consists of a cylindrical pressure vessel in a fixed vertical position. Inside is a series of specially angled baffle plates, stepped from the top to the bottom.When contaminated mud is routed into the separator, it flows downward successively over each plate. During this process, the heads of entrained gases break out. The released gas is then carried by the vent lines to a remote location where it can be safely flared. The flow of liquid from the vessel can be regulated by a liquid-level-control valve or a U-tube, ensuring adequate retention time in the separator for the gas to break out.The gas delivery from the Mud Gas Separator unit to the flare line can be controlled by a back-pressure manifold (valve) in the flare line. KOSUN Mud Gas Separator unit is

Central Asian company Kashagan crude oil production set a new history-breaking record

On February 7, news came from Central Asias Kashagan project in Kazakhstan that in January, the Kashagan project produced 1.61 million tons of crude oil and 1 billion cubic meters of natural gas, which set a new history-breaking record. Last year, the Kashagan Project implemented Central Asias integrated management concept at home and abroad, relying on domestic technical support, and through systematic review and reason analysis since the oilfield was put into production, to promote and help Kashagan Joint Operation Company to create an operation time window, and to transform the oilfield into an operational time window. The crude oil production capacity has increased from 390,000 barrels per day at the beginning of last year to 410,000 barrels, laying the foundation for stable production
