Petrochemical Company Reduces Risk of Lost Production Using Coriolis Meter with Meter Verification

A former Ethylene supplier to a petrochemical plant caused interruptions in their supply by shutting off the supply below a certain dP. The petrochemical plant chose a new supplier that installed an Emerson Coriolis meter which offered a full range of flow rates resulting in ceasing the supply interruptions and improving the uncertainty from 0.75% to 0.35%. In addition, the company did not want to have to pull the meter for proving during operations, so Smart Meter Verification was utilized to extend the calibration interval to coincide with plant turnarounds and to continuously monitor meter health. The meter was pulled for calibration after two years of service and found to have -0.06% difference from a lab prover. The solution eliminated replacement during operation, reduced proving costs, improved safety and reduced risk of lost production.

The Evolution Of Composite Riser Systems: A different approach to managing corrosion in the pre-salt

whitePaper | June 15, 2021

Corrosion costs the oil and gas industry $1.372 billion every year. No operator is more aware of the high costs of corrosion than Petrobras. In Brazil’s deepwater pre-salt reserves no pipe comprising metallics has so far evaded corrosion due to the combination of hydrogen sulfide, water and high temperatures. The problem has led Petrobras to look to Magma’s composite m-pipe. We have been working to qualify m-pipe in Brazil and share our initial results in this paper.
