This paper presents the feasibility study of CO2 sequestration from the sources to the sinks in the prospective of Italian Industries. CO2 produced at these sources captured, compressed to supercritical pressures, transported via pipelines and stored in underground geologic formations such as depleted oil and natural gas reservoirs, un-minable coal seams and deep saline aquifers. In this work, ...

The defect assessment process in oil and gas pipelines consists of three stages: defect detection, defect dimension (i.e., defect depth and length) prediction, anddefect severity level determination. In this paper,wepropose an intelligent system approach for defect prediction in oil and gas pipelines. The proposed technique is based on the magnetic flux leakage (MFL) technology widely used in p...

LI, CHONG, Ph.D., June 2009, Chemical Engineering Effect of Corrosion Inhibitor on Water Wetting and Carbon Dioxide Corrosion In Oil-Water Two-Phase Flow (198 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Srdjan Nesic The internal corrosion of flowlines and pipelines made from carbon steel is encountered in the oil and gas industry. The corrosion process is primarily associated with the presence of free water...

[1] Methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), and C2–C5 alkanes were measured throughout the Los Angeles (L.A.) basin in May and June 2010. We use these data to show that the emission ratios of CH4/CO and CH4/CO2 in the L.A. basin are larger than expected from population-apportioned bottom-up state inventories, consistent with previously published work. We use experimentally de...

The knowledge and the forecast of the parameters which rule the downflow models in oil extraction and transport are today of paramount importance. In particular the extracted oil is mixed with water and gas in rates which differ not only from different wells, but also on the same well during its life. The main problems involved with the measurement of the flow rates are : well exhaustion, criti...

In process industries, the measurement of void fraction is considerably important for sustainable operations. The erroneous calculation of void fraction is inevitably be the cause of many industrial accidents such as loss of coolant accidents in reactor operations, sweet corrosions in sub-sea oil and gas pipelines and an in-efficient process control of chemical plants. Keeping in view the impor...

Gas hydrates are a costly problem when they plug oil and gas pipelines. The best way to determine the HFT and pressure is to measure these conditions experimentally for every gas system. Since this is not practical in terms of time and money, correlations are the other alternative tools. There are a small number of correlations for specific gravity method to predict the hydrate formation. As th...

The technical equipment developed and used in both installation and operation processes in refineries, oil and gas pipelines, and gas booster stations has always been expensive. Hence, managers at different organizational levels are keen to find methods to control and reduce these costs. Generally speaking, the operators in a gas booster station choose the operating devices without considering ...

turkey as a country located between the main energy resources and the european :union: can play the role of a natural bridge in energy transportation. the eu countries have always tried to find some alternative routes for russian energy pipelines and turkey could be one of the best options. although turkey is poor in oil and natural gas resources, however, this country can play a strategic role...

Underground oil pipelines are made of pressurized pipes, and when damage occurs, the consequences can be disastrous. Pipeline accidents caused by stress can be attributed to material corrosion, impractical design, manufacturing defect, environmental damage, and man-made destruction. In this study, by utilizing the stress analysis software CAESAR II, the stress of pipelines in high and steep slo...
