FRAGMASENSE
FragmaSense AS provides services for development based on following empirical experience.
Separation:
-
Evaluate three-phase separators with respect to flow distribution, optimum levels and efficiency of internals
-
Independent tests of production chemicals and separation equipment
-
Identify and evaluate influence from solids and precipitation products
-
Evaluate separation potential for crude oil systems
-
Use of fluid characterization to identify potential separation issues when tie in of new fields are evaluated
Produced water:
-
Optimize three-phase separators regarding water quality
-
Optimize performance of hydrocyclones, flotation vessels and degassers
-
Optimize produced water systems efficiency by sampling, analysis and theoretical evaluations
-
Test and optimize produced water chemicals
-
Analyze consequences of routing of oily water reject streams
Gas systems:
-
Identify liquid carry-over from separators and scrubbers by use of novel sampling technique and identify various liquid phases in gas
-
Quantify liquid carry-over by use of radioactive tracers
-
Troubleshoot dew point contactors and improve glycol quality
