- Company Profile:
A vessel used to separate and meter relatively small quantities of oil and gas. Test separators can be two-phase or three-phase, or horizontal, vertical or spherical. They can also be permanent or portable. <br><br>Test separators sometimes are equipped with different meters to determine oil, water and gas rates, which are important to diagnose well problems, evaluate production performance of individual wells and manage reserves properly. <br><br>Test separators can also be called well testers or a well checkers.
Industry:Oil & gas
A vessel that separates the well fluids into gas and two types of liquids: oil and water. A three-phase separator can be horizontal, vertical or spherical. This type of separator is commonly called a free-water knockout separator because its main use is to remove any free water that can cause problems such as corrosion and formation of hydrates or tight emulsions, which are difficult to break. <br><br>The liquids (oil, water) leave the vessel at the bottom through different valves, and the gas leaves the vessel at the top, passing through a mist extractor to remove the small liquid droplets in the gas.
Industry:Oil & gas
A vessel placed in a flowline through which liquids or gases are flowed to neutralize sudden pressure surges.
Industry:Oil & gas
A vessel that separates the well fluids into gas and total liquid. A two-phase separator can be horizontal, vertical or spherical. The liquid (oil, emulsion) leaves the vessel at the bottom through a level-control or dump valve. The gas leaves the vessel at the top, passing through a mist extractor to remove the small liquid droplets in the gas.

A vessel and mixing system used to prepare treatment fluids. A batch mixer is generally equipped with a means of adding dry and liquid chemicals, an agitation or circulation system and a manifold system to deliver the prepared fluid to storage tanks or treating pumps.
Industry:Oil & gas
A vertical section of a log presentation over which one particular set of data is displayed. The track divides the presentation into different sections, each with a certain set of log curves or other data, such as depth numbers. The section is vertical in the sense that it is along the depth or time axis of the log. The curves are usually blanked off when they run outside their allotted track. Tracks are typically numbered from left to right across the page (when viewed with depth or time increasing towards the bottom of the page).

A variogram or semivariogram is said to have been fitted after the best possible model has been applied to it.
Industry:Oil & gas
A vertical or horizontal separator used mainly to remove any free water that can cause problems such as corrosion and formation of hydrates or tight emulsions, which are difficult to break. <br><br>A free-water knockout is commonly called a three-phase separator because it can separate gas, oil and free water. The liquids that are discharged from the free-water knockout are further treated in vessels called treaters. Free-water knockout is abbreviated as FWKO.
Industry:Oil & gas
A valve used in a gas-lift system to control the flow of lift gas into the production tubing conduit. The gas-lift valve is located in the gas-lift mandrel, which also provides communication with the lift gas supply in the tubing annulus. Operation of the gas lift valve is determined by preset opening and closing pressures in the tubing or annulus, depending on the specific application.
