Production Fluid Separation

Achieve unparalleled measurement accuracy over a wide range of operating conditions

 

Production Management is a critical component to oil and gas processes.  

Automated measurement of wells help allocation. Measurements of produced fluids or gases need to be extremely accurate; small error add up quickly and create financial risk.

When money changes hands, precision matters.

Accurately measure large volumes of produced fluids and gas with our solutions. 

Protect your facility confidently

 

Without reliable overpressure protection, wellpads can be dangerous.

These facilities can have very high pressures and varying pressure limitations throughout. Overpressure situations can cause extensive damage to both your facility and the environment.
 

Pressure safety valves (PSVs) on a vessel help prevent overpressure. 

Our team has years of experience providing the proper technologies for overpressure protection applications. We provide around-the-clock access to local relief valve inventory. Our valve services team also provides mobile service to test PSVs on site to help you meet regulatory standards. This service reduces downtime and helps ensure your maintenance schedule is met.

Reduce production losses and measurement uncertainty 

 

The right instrumentation is critical for effective separator operation. 

Level control in a separator controls the interface between the water and the oil (liquid hydrocarbons). There must be sufficient time to create a layer of oil above the free water. The level controller controls the interface level by creating a pad between the water and oil. A weir is used to separate the oil from the water and another controller is used to control the oil level. The natural gas flows on the top of the separator. To maintain the interface level and ensure optimal production out of the separator, the instrumentation is integral to the process.

Trust our team with your level management solutions.

Our team has a wide breadth of solutions for separator level controls. Whether it’s pneumatic or electronic technologies, we have the solution that fits your needs. We work with industry-leading OEMs and contractors to provide level control solutions to the fabricators and contractors with whom you are partnering. 

Take control of sensitive control loops by choosing the industry leading control valve.

Onshore production volumes and flows are not always predictable.

Inlet process flows have varying pressures and flow rates. Operators need level control they can trust to perform in a variety of conditions.

Emerson's Fisher™ valves provide a wide variety of digital, pneumatic, and electronic instruments which control variables such as level, pressure, or temperature.

For example, utilizing Emerson's Level Management solutions with a Fisher™ dump valve can provide the most accurate control loop for a measurement point. Accuracy is key when trying to obtain reliable measurement during custody transfer.
