The Pig Launcher is typically located at the beginning of the pipeline, and its primary function is to provide a point of entry for the pig. On the other hand, the Pig Receiver is located at the end of the pipeline, and its function is to retrieve the pig as it exits the pipeline. One of the significant differences between Pig Launcher and Pig Receiver is the orientation of the valves. Pig Launcher typically has its valves in a horizontal position, while Pig Receiver has them in a vertical position. This is because the flow of the fluid is typically vertical in the Pig Receiver. The Pig Launcher helps to prevent blockages and reduce the likelihood of pipeline damage, while the Pig Receiver helps to collect debris and contaminants that may have accumulated within the pipeline. Together, these devices work hand-in-hand to ensure the safe and efficient transportation of products through pipelines. #piglaunchers #pigreceivers #pipeline #gasfleet #gasfleeteng

Sand Detection and Control There is always some level of sand production but it isn't acceptable that the sand production can have detrimental impacts that it contributes to erosion at high flow rates, settles in flowlines at low flow rates, combines with other solids, such as wax to form restrictions, and settles in topside equipment. Sand detection is provided at the tree prior to fluid entry into the tree – PLET (Pipeline End Termination) jumpers. The detectors indicate sand presence in the produced fluids and provide and electronic signal back to the MCS. Input to the MCS allows a sand rate calculation. If sand production is detected, the affected well will be shut in until the problem is resolved. If these electronic detectors defected, intervention will be required by installing a sand detector to the flowline jumper, the installation of this sand detector can be done by ROV assistance. Figure below shows a sand detector to be installed and mounted at subsea using ROV for installation. #subsea #offshore #oilandgas

Do you also regularly struggle with space, weight and vibration constraints? Then this insightful case study is made for you! The case study describes how we optimally met the tight space, weight and vibration constraints on a gas lift compression module of an FPSO vessel with matching DBB valves: https://bit.ly/3PBNI1e #DBBValves #DoubleBlockAndBleedValves #GasLiftCompressionModule #FloatingProductionStorageOffloading #FPSO #Vessel #Offshore #Valves #Sealing #Manifolds #Tightness

We are getting ready to ship a Gauging Run Integrity Data (GRID) system to be assembled into a gauging pig for a pre-ILI project. GRID is a cost-effective method of confirming the integrity of a subsea pipeline without the need to recover the pig or visually inspect the gauge plate. In this case, it will be run prior to the ILI tool as a bore proving exercise. This particular system is to be used on a 40" pipeline and has the addition of Automatic Resetting Gauging Fingers (ARGF). Unlike a standard gauge plate, ARGF allows for multiple defects to be detected and logged on a gauging run.
