PORTABLE TESTING SOLUTIONS
How do you evaluate in real-time:- well fluid behavior?
- solids production?
- slugging?
- emulsion stability?
Rocsole in collaboration with Scanwell have developed a Portable Testing Solution which enables real-time fluid and solids analysis, onsite under actual production conditions. The Portable Testing Solution allows online emulsion strength and stability measurement combined with an understanding of how the production chemicals perform.
The Portable Testing Solutions enables individual well analysis for produced solids i.e. sand, wax, etc. together with any issues associated with scaling.
The system also provides details of fluid and well interactions that may occur when multiple wells are combined.
PORTABLE EQUIPMENT
The portable equipment is running in real-time which enables you to monitor separation efficiency, flow regime, depositions (wax, sand etc.) and emulsion layers inside separators and pipelines.

SEPARATOR PROFILING
- Are you struggling to maintain export oil specifications or
- oil-in-water quality?- Is your chemical expenditure continuing to rise?
- Do you have shut-in production that you cannot handle?
The separation system is designed to remove the unwanted water and solids (waste streams) from the oil and gas revenue streams. Typically, the incoming fluids and solids are produced from either several wells or fields and the processing equipment is designed to achieve the required specifications.
As the production matures, in order to handle the changes whilst maintaining required performance, additional chemical treatment and process modifications may be required.
For an efficient process, it is essential that we can clearly control and manage level within the vessels. The utilization of our technology provides detailed analysis of various layers within the vessels. The information can be used to asses the impact of process conditions and chemical treatment on separation. Through understanding and control of the separation process we can improve efficiency, increase throughput and reduce downtime.

SAND MANAGEMENT
How much is sand production costing us?How do we manage our sand production?
How much is sand production costing us?
How do we manage our sand production?
A frequent and reliable process stream has been lacking for industries such as oil & gas upstream processing. Up to 80% of the upstream production comes from mature fields with various production challenges linked to high water cuts, emulsion and rag layers and solids production, to name a few.
For the cost and energy-efficient operation, real-time process insights are highly valuable, for instance, level detection and profiling, dispersion band variations and solid layer build-ups. ROCSOLE™ can provide a variety of services and data analytics based on customer needs to improve business value. The solution can be provided either as an integration into the existing control system or as cloud-based SaaS services.
