Manufacturing of Oilfield related Products and Tanks

The oil and gas industry generates tremendous capital for countries such as the USA, Russia, China, the middle east, etc. For this industry to flourish, operations, setup, and equipment must be exceptional. Because oil extraction is a rough process and crude oil is flammable, the storage process needs special attention to prevent incidents. OEMs that manufacture oilfield-related products align with developments in the oil and gas industry to ensure that the extraction and storage process is as secure as possible. What are Oil Storage Tanks? Oil storage tanks are used as staging places to gather crude oil throughout production. These tanks store oil before delivery to tankers or pipelines. Storage tanks also store crude oil before and after it is refined. Although storage tanks have a standard design and operation throughout the industry, they are useful for multiple applications. Oil storage tanks' design and construction are determined by their intended function a…

Large Scale Oil Extraction

Large Scale Oil Extraction   Oil is important for the economies of many countries as millions of tons of oil are extracted daily. Extracting oil efficiently is essential for the continuous operations in the oil field. The oil demand never ceases, and to fuel that demand, finding and extracting oil is a 24/7, seven days a week, 365 days a year job. There are so many roles and processes that go into extraction and production with thousands of people contributing to bringing one barrel of oil to the market.   Drilling down into the ground initiates the process. Extracting oil can be a dangerous process, though it is made safer and faster through fracking. Though fracking in simple terms is just using pressure (any type - water/oil/some other fluid) to crack through the rocks, making passage for the oil to come out, it is still very new in the market (given the oil extraction has been going on for centuries). Before fracking was widely used, oil wells were dug…

The Impact of a Strong Industry Partnership Partnering Community College with Oil and Gas Industry

Oil and gas companies are always on the lookout for highly skilled talent when looking to fill open positions. Where do they look for a strong talent pool? How do they generate positive leads to fill those positions? What are the skills they look for? These are some questions that recruiters, human resources, and talent acquisition departments ask every time they must either replace a person or hire for a new position. Midland College (MC) Energy Technology and Diesel Technology Programs have developed strong partnerships with local oil and gas companies to help answer some of these questions and fill the employment gap here in the Permian Basin. There is representation from upstream, midstream, and downstream companies. The partnerships are made up of large corporations such as Chevron, Oxy, Ovintiv and SM Energy as well as independents such as Endeavor and CrownQuest, just to mention a few. These companies are a very integral part of the educational process. Where do th…

How Can the Oil and Gas Industry Improve Its Project Management

The oil and gas industry has drastically changed in the past decade. The vast majority of Earth’s oil and gas deposits have been already uncovered years ago while modern-day technologies allowed us to mine them faster than ever. The resources are rapidly becoming scarcer while finding a decent team of engineers is challenging for a number of reasons. Even so, there are ways to improve the governing aspect of any project if one knows what to look for. Today we’ll talk about how can the oil and gas industry companies and their employees improve their project management skills and execution, so let’s dive in. Redefined contracts and forms The first area where oil and gas industry managers are lacking is contractual in nature. According to dr. William Wallace, most contractor companies actually know very little about contract laws, which combined with the interest of protecting their prospects oftentimes leads to disaster. The first way to improve the efficiency of applie…

Using your Natural Gas in the Oilfield to create Power To the Grid

Using Natural Gas Generators to Power a Grid When it comes to backup generators, both diesel and natural gas generators are well-known for being used in a variety of applications to provide backup power to businesses and facilities in the event of power outage or even serve as the primary source of power for operations and applications that take place off the main power grid, but what about using natural gas generators to serve as a remote or temporary power grid? Why Natural Gas Generators? Natural gas generators make a great solution for grid applications, because out of all the current alternative power solutions available (alternative meaning not part of the main power grid), these generators are one of the most reliable sources of constant power. Depending on build and configuration, natural gas generators can run in continuous or prime applications to act as a primary power supply and kW output can be added to meet power requirements by running generators in parallel. …
