I am currently working on a project where I need to determine the wellbore heat input required to prevent paraffin formation in production tubing.
In this particular case the production tubing runs to a depth of approximately 3000m and there is a larger heat medium casing surrounding the...
I was looking for some information in API 521 and I came across a reference for sizing tailpipes and laterals based on rated flow.
I was originally under the impression that laterals and tailpipes were one in the same (single-source piping directly downstream of releiving device).
If someone...
I am tring to determine if a drip leg on a flare subheader has sufficient holdup volume.
The flare subheader is 24" NPS and the drip leg is located at the low point on the flare subheader prior to elevating about 2 m in order to tie into the main flare header (upstream of KO drum). Our client...
I am trying to determine what the relieving temperature is for a Blocked Flow PSV on a Fuel Gas Drum. The Operating Pressure is 20 Barg and the PSV set pressure is 25 Barg. I don't expect there to be a large temperature increase but I need an accurate value for the relieving temperature. Is...
I am trying to determine if a set of pumps in a flare radiation zone will be sufficient.
The pumps are located at a distance of 100m from the base of the flare stack. According to the radiation isopleths the pumps will be exposed to a radiation of 3 kW/m2 (including solar)during full flaring...
