Co-Creating with Clients can be an exciting opportunity for both parties- but it can be a nerve wracking experience trying to make everything come together in one session. Here are my Top 5 Lessons Learned to help you get the most out of Co-Creation.

“Robots will steal HALF of all jobs in the world within 15 years creating unemployment crisis for millions, AI expert warns”, is a real headline from a leading UK national newspaper. This warning says jobs such as truckers, salespeople and couriers will become obsolete as artificial intelligence takes over. Contrast this with another headline – […]

In the oil and gas industry, there are instances where you would use natural gas to move control valves. So, why spend money on a compressor for producing instrument air and add electricity costs when you have ample natural gas available? There are issues, however, when using the gas for these applications. This is common […]

What is the place for companies in the oil and gas supply chain in a low carbon world?

When you think of a well site where hydraulic-fracturing (also known as fracking) is done, what equipment comes to mind? You have the basic essentials like high pressure pumps, blenders, water storage and sand storage, and then you have process instrumentation for level, flow, and pressure measurement…but, what about weighing technology?

As the EPA mandates accurate representation of the amount of gas that is being flared off, how do you ensure that you have measured the correct amount? If you flare-off gas rather than use a vapor recovery unit (VRU), or even flare-off the exposed gas after using the VRU, then you may have already experienced […]

With well drilling at an all-time high, the need for water at a frac site is a prime concern. We worked with a skid supplier who manufactures a remote pump assembly that is used to supply the water from a remote site such as a river or lake to the drilling site. They needed to meter the flow because that is how their customers are paid. Rates are based on the amount of water supply to the site.

When it comes to process instrumentation in the oil and gas industry, particularly as it relates to hydraulic fracking, you need a variety of technologies and instruments that can be applied to each step of the product cycle.

We’ve all heard the horror stories on what can happen when your technology isn’t producing accurate measurement; however, when you’re dealing with natural gas, precise flow measurement is particularly critical. Since even the slightest error in calculating gas flow will translate into a significant error in dollars. You need to ensure that your operation has accurate measurements for high value product.

Perhaps you have heard people talking about how the biofuels industry has been slowing down in recent years or that it’s an industry in recession. Well, that is surely not the case. In 2015, almost 15 million gallons of ethanol was produced across 199 ethanol refineries and three more plants were under construction(1). This was the best year ever for the ethanol industry, and 2016 was said to be looking slightly better. Most of the ethanol produced has been blended into gasoline to satisfy a maximum 10% ethanol content by volume in most fuel grades in the U.S.
