Green Inhibitors for Petroleum Product Pipelines

Microbiologically influenced corrosion in petroleum product pipelines--a review.

Microbiologically influenced corrosion is responsible for most of the internal corrosion problems in oil transportation pipelines and storage tanks. One problematic area in treating gas lines is the occurrence of the stratification of water in the line. Under these conditions, corrosion inhibitors do not come into contact properly and oil and inhibitors undergo degradation. The role of bacteria...

Design and Installation of Deepwater Petroleum Pipelines

The exploration of offshore gas/oil has been moving to deepwater fields as big reservoirs have been found and technologies have improved. Presently, the most active areas in deepwater gas/oil field development are Africa and the GOM (Gulf of Mexico) in North America. There are many technological challenges in developing deepwater gas/oil fields such as: flow assurance, subsea systems, riser sys...

Toxicological assessment of green petroleum coke.

Green petroleum coke is primarily inorganic carbon with some entrained volatile hydrocarbon material. As part of the petroleum industry response to the high production volume challenge program, the potential for reproductive effects was assessed in a subchronic toxicity/reproductive toxicity screening test in rats (OECD 421). The repeated-dose portion of the study provided evidence for dust acc...

Rockets and Feathers? Petroleum Product Price Movements

Rockets and Feathers? Petroleum Product Price Movements “Shooting up like a rocket, drifting downward like a feather in the wind,” or so goes the perception of petroleum product prices. This became the focus of public attention world over in 2008, when the international price of oil surged in the first six months, only to fall dramatically to a third of its peak value in the following five mont...
