Throughout the year, SOER hosts valuable workshops for industry professionals. These workshops are currently being held via Zoom on a variety of industry-related topics.

Professional Development Hour (PDH) credits will be offered for all workshops.

Upcoming Workshops

Gas Lift 

This workshop will focus on the basics of gas lift and how it plays a vital role in lifting produced wells. Gas lift is an artificial lift system that mimics a naturally flowing well. High pressure gas is injected into the tubing /casing anulus through a series of gas lift valves to help lift liquids to the surface through the production tubing, thus lowering the bottom hole pressure in the wellbore. Gas lift works on the principle of lightening the fluid column, allowing the reservoir pressure to lift the well without the need for a positive displacement pump. Two basic types of gas lift in use today are continuous and intermittent flow. Gas lift is the most cost-effective from of artificial lift and is the reason many producers choose to use it.

Facility Design

The design and operation of oil and gas production facilities is changing fast to meet the demands of new regulations and recommended practices from industry associations. Additionally, new regulations and industry standards are redefining the design and installation of equipment.

All facility design topics in this workshop will have a common theme focused on the promotion of cost-effective fabrication and construction strategies and techniques within the engineering design process. The following topics will be reviewed and discussed:

·  Modular facility design concepts for simple layouts, expansion, and prefabrication.

·  Regulatory compliant closed vent system designs for onsite liquid storage.

·  Application comparisons of bulk and test separation trains versus well specific separation trains.

·  Facility piping design specifications per applicable industry standards and recommended practices in relation to fluid service types.

As always, continuing education credits will be awarded for attendance. Don’t miss out. Sign up today!

Xplorobot Handheld Methane Detector

Xplorobot’s laser OGI sensor and software help to detect and verify emission repairs during single pad visits simplifying workflow and lowering operational costs. Xplorobot’s technology ensures thorough accounting of methane emissions to increase revenue while avoiding increasing regulatory fines. The sensor is extremely accurate, detecting methane emissions down to 1 gram per hour. Xplorobot can help lower Subpart-W emissions factors by as much as 20X, and is an approved emission detection method under US EPA 40 CFR Part 98 Subpart W. An OGMP2.0 Gold Standard is attainable by creating a digital database of component emissions. Emissions data is all stored in an easy-to-use dashboard and database with automated reporting and a mobile app for fast and accurate fieldwork.
