Coriolis mass flowmeters are increasingly specified for entrained gas applications and although they have challenges, leading Coriolis manufacturers have developed technologies that enable their meters to work with two-phase flow. Frank Grunert explains more. The oil and gas sector continues to face considerable challenges due to the falling and consistently low price of energy. Despite […]
Liam Jones details how electric actuators powered by solar panels improve shale gas well pressure stability in USA The Haynesville/Bossier rock formation dates back to the Jurassic Period and covers large parts of South West Arkansas, North West Louisiana and East Texas in the USA. The formation contains large quantities of natural shale gas sourced […]
For submarine cable laying, maintaining tension in the cable within required tolerances is critical during the laying process to minimise the risk of cable damage due to cable cores being crushed or the minimum bend radius being exceeded. To regulate this tension, specialist machines are used to handle the cable as it is laid. One […]
