<span style="color: #3d85c6;">API certifications are an imperative to provide value added services to the oil and gas industry.</span><br />
<br />
The
American Petroleum Institute (API) has been at the forefront of
creating standards of excellence for the oil and gas industry. The
institute is also responsible for creating the certifications that are
provided to oil and gas drilling companies in America.<br />
<br />
The
main purpose of these certifications is to ensure the safety of the
workers, the reliability of the equipment, and environment protection.
One of the most important certifications is the <a href="http://www.integratedequipment.com/api_coupling_products.asp">API 5CT</a>. This certification highlights the specifications for the casing and <a href="http://www.integratedequipment.com/casing_tubing_hanger_components.asp">tubing hanger</a>
components on wellhead equipment. The certification is extremely
expensive to obtain as there are strict rules, and a thorough evaluation
process is followed before a company is awarded.<br />
<br />
Integrated
Equipment, one of the leading oil and gas manufacturing equipment
companies in America has been awarded many certifications by the API
thanks its emphasis on complete excellence in their equipment design,
manufacturing and shipping process.<br />
<br />
Integrated
Equipment is a major distributor of API 5CT and 5L couplings. We stock
and distribute API 5CT Tubing and Casing Couplings in various sizes

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Safety is
always a major concern for all in the oil and gas industries. New innovations
in the industry promise to simplify the whole process. A little more about
these innovations are given below. </span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Did you know
that the oil and gas industry employs more than 9.2 million people in the US?
It also pays approximately $86 tax to the Federal Government daily. This is how
big the oil and gas industry is. But these facts cannot shadow the risky nature
of the oil drilling industry. The major risk that is involved in the process is
that of a total blowout. There have been many incidents wherein the blowout
preventers failed to control the blowouts, which lead to grave consequences.
The flammable nature of oil did not make the matters any easy. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">A renowned
oil drilling company has come up with automated drilling process that is said
to save time, money and energy. Known as SCADA, automating drilling will work
in three stages. SCADA might be the future of oil drilling, but today, reliable
oil drilling equipment manufacturers like Integrated Equipment are the best
providers of a safe oil drilling experience. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Integrated

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">•<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>We have a team of experts for plating,
painting, and the packaging processes.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">We also have
API 5CT Special Clearance tubing couplings that are modified and can be used
for fitted seal rings. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #0070c0; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Oilfield equipment manufacturers are looking out for
the best in the oil and gas business to add to their payroll. </span></b>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The American Economy may still
be in the process of getting out of the recession, but this has not stopped the
oil and gas industry from moving ahead. The industry has not been hit as hard
as other industries. And now, the energy industry is hoping to increase the pay
of employees by 3.6% next year. Companies also have plans to spend 17.8% of their
payroll on bonuses. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">This will be a great
opportunity for <a href="http://www.integratedequipment.com/pulsation_dampener.asp">oilfield drilling
equipment</a> manufacturers. The word in the industry right now is 'grow'.
Rather than relieving employees from their positions, many companies are
actually bringing in more people, who would add to their talent pool. Many
employees are changing jobs and moving to work with competitors. Also, there is
a shortage of talented, technical staff. So, companies are competing with each
other to bring in experts in key technical areas such as engineering and
geosciences.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">If you are looking for a
company that is known for its quality talent and employee management, then

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Great employees are what make
a great organization. And we make sure that we create an environment that is
safe, professional, and at the same time, enjoyable. This allows us to
encourage and increase job enthusiasm, efficient teamwork, and positive
relationships among us all. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">We understand our employees'
needs and requirements; treat them with respect, and recognize their successes.

boasts of such a museum, it is known as the Drake Well Museum. Located in Pennsylvania,
the Drake Well Museum depicts the birth of the oil industry which took place in
the 1859 in the US. A replica of the original oil well by Colonel Edward Drake
is featured in this museum along with oil field equipment of those times. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The oilfield drilling equipment has had
a total makeover since the first <a href="http://www.integratedequipment.com/casing_head_spools.asp">wellhead

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #0070c0; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The Texas oil and gas
industry has been seeing a boom in the last decade. This is a great
opportunity, not only for investors, but also oilfield equipment
manufacturers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The Permian Basin, a large oil and
gas producing area in West Texas, USA; was once seen as a dead area, resulting from
an oil glut that led to a huge decline in oil prices in 1982. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">But times change. And situations do

<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The oil and gas industry has played a vital role in
boosting the American economy. All industries including manufacturing,
construction, transportation, and even the service industry depend on it
directly or indirectly. </span>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Furthermore, the American oil and gas industry has played a
major role in the economy's recovery by giving substantial investment, and creating
direct and indirect jobs. Also, various oil and gas companies paid heavy duty
taxes. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Yet, this industry is often targeted, and higher taxes are
imposed at various levels. Adding to this are stringent regulatory regimes and other
unending barriers for oil and gas production both onshore and offshore.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">

The Indian
Government is contemplating on giving a statutory status to the Oil Industry
Safety Directorate (OISD). The function of OISD<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>is to formulate safety measures for the Oil and Gas Industry.<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">The purpose of
the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas to form OISD was to improve safety in
the Oil and Gas Industry. It carries safety audits on the Oil and Gas
installations, and also forms standard procedures and guidelines for the
design, operation and maintenance of the installations. The formation of OISD
has benefited the industry to a very large extent. The safety issues are not
simple for the industry as they involve lot of research. The procedures, methods
in the industry, the handling and installation of equipment, are complex and
risky. Hazards not only result in human loss, but they affect the environment
adversely in the case of oil spills. There is always a potential risk involved,
and negligence can result into a fire and explosion due to accidental release of flammable hydrocarbons. </span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-GB">Oil well equipment like <a href="http://www.integratedequipment.com/casing_head_spools.asp">wellhead
equipment</a>, pulsation dampener, blowout preventers, etc. play important roles
in the Oil and Gas Industry. The quality standard is of prime concern since the
equipment hold the safety of the oil well with them.
<span lang="EN-GB">Integrated
Equipment understands the gravity of the concern and manufactures oil-well
equipment that are thoroughly engineered, researched, evaluated, reviewed and
tested to the highest standards of excellence. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We use materials that meet or exceed API and
ASME standards. All wellhead equipment are manufactured under Integrated
Equipment's API 6A license. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-GB"><span lang="EN-GB">Our <a href="http://www.integratedequipment.com/pulsation_dampener.asp">Pulsation
Dampener</a> Line is ASME U and U2 Stamp encoded and carries CRN approval. We continuously
review our existing products so that we can keep improving on them. This leads

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #00487e; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Natural gas is becoming the new contender in the
energy race as reports of it producing as much power as coal are coming in.</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Coal may just become an obsolete
commodity. For natural gas is turning out to become the future of the energy
sector in the USA. In June 2012, for the first time in American history,
natural gas generated as much electricity as coal. Natural gas is readily
available in the state of Louisiana, which also consists of the country’s
largest producing natural gas field. The Intellectual Property Attache Act
(IPAA) believes that the state will contribute 49% of the entire country’s
natural gas in the next 20 years.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">There are many advantages to using
natural gas. One major point is that it is a cleaner fuel than coal. A study
conducted by Cornell University on the usage of natural gas finds that the
country can reduce 40% of its carbon emissions with natural gas. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">With natural gas becoming a top
contender in the energy race, this is certainly good news for the oil and gas
industry, especially for original equipment manufacturers. Nearly 85% of oil
well boring is done with drilling equipment. The demand for products such as </span><span lang="EN-GB"><a href="http://www.integratedequipment.com/pulsation_dampener.asp"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">drilling
dampeners</span></a></span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> and pulsation dampener will probably grow along with
that of drilling equipment. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Oil well boring requires equipment
that will work in difficult conditions as well as have a long work life. One
company that has made its mark in the oil and gas industry is Integrated Equipment.
We are known for our blowout preventers, </span><span lang="EN-GB"><a href="http://www.integratedequipment.com/pulsation_dampener.asp"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">pulsation
dampeners</span></a></span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">, wellhead equipment, and drilling dampeners, to name
a few. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Integrated's pulsation dampeners are
unique in design and construction. The bodies are made from a single piece of
construction, thus eliminating the risk of onsite weld failures. The dampeners
also comprise removable top and bottom plates, which are easily replaceable on
field. Our dampeners have capacities between 1 and 20 gallons. They have a
pressure range between 285 psi and 7500 psi. The inside surfaces are machined for
smooth diaphragm movement. The diaphragms are equipped with stabilizer to
prevent fluid entrapment. The diaphragms can also be replaced without removing
the unit from the drilling line. These many aspects make Integrated’s drilling
equipment the best for the job.</span><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> </span></div>

<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #5f497a; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: accent4; mso-themeshade: 191;"></span></b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #5f497a; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: accent4; mso-themeshade: 191;"></span></b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #5f497a; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: accent4; mso-themeshade: 191;">The latest news that has created waves
in the world of oil rig is the possibility of oil drilling in US Arctic. The
crowd has been divided in favor of and against US Arctic drilling. A brief synopsis
of this event and its effects on oil drilling equipment manufacturers...</span></b>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The need for oil has increased in the
recent years. Unfortunately, there are not many oil rigs left. This has lead to
the rise of oil prices and consequently of all other commodities everywhere.
Also, many countries like the USA have to depend on other countries, and pay a
very high price for very little oil. Hence, oil drilling companies are always on
a lookout for new sites for drilling.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">A renowned oil company recently
claimed that the Arctic regions that are close to Alaska are ideal for oil
drilling. More than five companies have already headed to Arctic as the new
round of oil drilling is due this July (2012). </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">But what led to the sudden interest
in the Arctic? Well, as we all know the ice on the Arctic has begun to melt. Though
this is a catastrophic event for rest of the world, it is a boon in disguise
for the oil drilling companies. As the ice has begun to melt, many regions of
the Arctic Circle are now easily accessible. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">According to the US Geological Survey
2008, the Arctic holds 13% of the world's technically recoverable oil supply,
which is almost 90 billion barrels of oil! However, the environmentalists fear
that offshore drilling can be disastrous in case there is even a single event
of oil spilling. The oil drilling companies however, have assured the environmentalists
that only the best wellhead equipment will be used for the purpose. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Blowout preventers and <a href="http://www.integratedequipment.com/products.asp">wellhead equipment</a>
certainly play a crucial role in oil drilling, whether it is offshore or
onshore. We at Integrated Equipment manufacture state-of-the-art wellhead
equipment and pressure and flow control equipment like <a href="http://www.integratedequipment.com/x_seal_gate_valves.asp">expanding gate
valves</a>. Our products conform to Manufacturing Quality Standards and are accredited
per ISO 9001. We manufacture annular and RAM blowout preventers as per the norms
of API 16A. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The US Department of Interior (DOI)
has approved the Oil Spill Response Plan (OSRP), as the oil drilling companies claim
to have a developed a plan, to protect the environment and avoid hazardous
incidents like a well blowout. Incidents like this can in fact be avoided if quality
oil drilling equipment is used. However, there are many more aspects that need
to be considered before moving to the Arctic. If the oil drilling companies are
able to put the concerns of the environmentalists to rest with a full-proof
plan, the oil drilling in Arctic is sure to be a revolutionary step in the
history of oil drilling.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #0070c0; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">David
A. Des Autels makes the
otherwise unglamorous world of oil drilling wells and equipments
interesting in
his novel, “The Alaska Oil Conspiracy”. The book is set in the
background of
Alaska oil fields, where he has spent most of his working years as a Geo
scientist. The story unravels the mystery of the unexpected and unusual
happenings at the local oilfields in Alaska. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Des Autels rightly points out that the oil and
gas industry is one of the highest technology-based industries. The book
provides insight into the oil and gas industry. It is an undeniable fact that
it is risky to work on oil wells, and the book highlights this fact. The oil
drilling equipment should be of the best quality to safeguard the lives of
people working on the oil wells. </span></div>

<br />
<span style="color: #0070c0; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In a capital-intensive industry like the oil and gas
industry, the tracking of oil field equipment like pulsation dampeners,
wellhead equipment like X-mas Tree Caps, Tubing Head Adapters, Casing and
Tubing, etc. is vital.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The downtime of
these equipment will result into losses. </span>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Maintaining and locating these equipment in an oilfield is a challenge. Traditional
and manual ways for asset tracking have been employed, which are tedious and
not accurate. In the past few years, many companies have started using GPS and
the RFID method to track the location of the equipment. They provide
operational benefits but they are not good enough as standalone technologies.
Hybrid solutions such as web-based tracking have increased operational
efficiencies. Many companies are using a combination of RFID, GPS along with
hardware and software solutions to streamline their assets and manage the equipment
on the field. Companies are depending increasingly on hybrid solutions where
companies combine different technologies on one platform to cater to their
unique requirements.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">However, along with this, it is important that the equipment is
certified according to industry standards. Integrated Equipment, Inc, based in
Houston, Texas, designs, manufactures and distributes oil-drilling equipment,
which meet API 16A requirements. Our manufacturing standards conform to ISO
9001 standards. Pulsation Dampeners are ASME U and U2 Stamp encoded, and are
CRN approved. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">All the <a href="http://www.integratedequipment.com/products.asp">wellhead
equipment</a> is manufactured under the Integrated Equipment’s API 6A license.

The demand for oil is leading to more investment in oil and gas production. This can only be good news for oilfield equipment manufacturers. <br />
The Corporation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf (GCC) is planning to increase its oil and gas capacities by investing $666 billion. One major reason for this is that petrol barrel prices have increased to $100. Research reports say there will be investments of $1.1 trillion in oil and gas projects within the next decade. In terms of oil and gas projects in the Gulf, Saudi Arabia is leading with an estimated increase of approximately $9 billion. <br />
This is certainly good news for companies that design and manufacture <a href="http://www.integratedequipment.com/">oilfield equipment</a>. The number of offshore projects from this increase in project numbers will create a huge demand for pressure and flow equipment. <br />
Among the many corporations worldwide, one company that will surely benefit will be Integrated Equipment. We have a vast network of equipment agents and sales representatives for countries such as Saudi Arabia, Libya, Oman, Iraq, Abu Dhabi, and Bahrain.<br />
Our standard products, which include Ram and Annular Blowout Preventers, Pulsation Dampeners, and Expanding Gate Valves, are used by many well servicing contractors, land drilling contractors, and major oil companies.

<br />
<span style="color: #548dd4; mso-themecolor: text2; mso-themetint: 153;">Oil and gas industry is a very capital
intensive industry. The requirements for maintenance are high with equipments
like pulsation dampener, drilling dampener, blowout preventers, expanding gate
valves, etc. Continuous research has to be adopted to reduce operating costs, and
check safety of workers.</span>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Research and development:</b></div>

which is used to monitor and control oil wells. While drilling the fluid might
flow uncontrollably. A blowout preventer is used to stop the uncontrolled flow
of fluid. This flow of fluid if uncontrolled can result in a blowout. There are
two types of blowout preventers; ram and annular. An <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><a href="http://www.integratedequipment.com/annular_blowout_preventer.asp">annular

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">A lot has
been discussed on the safety issues about working at an oil rig or well.
Blowout preventer is meant to be the defense mechanism used when something goes
wrong at an oil well. The failure of a <a href="http://www.integratedequipment.com/annular_blowout_preventer.asp">blowout
preventer</a> can result in a catastrophe. </span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The <a href="http://www.integratedequipment.com/annular_blowout_preventer.asp">blowout
preventers</a> or BOPs have been used since 60s. The invention of BOPs has
resulted in the avoiding oil gushers and blowouts. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Economically
viable and advanced technologies have been introduced for the control
mechanism. This has changed the face of off shore drilling systems leading to companies
drilling in deeper waters. A system with 15,000 pounds per square inch gauge
(psig) intervention capping systems has been introduced to handle extreme
pressures at deeper wells. This technology is used when the blowout preventer
fails to perform its functions. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">This
intervention capping stack system allows complete access to the wellbore. Thus,
the well operator manages to repair the well or look into the mechanical
condition of the well. Remote monitoring and diagnostic (RM&D) technologies
have been introduced in the offshore drilling industry. This technology assists
offshore drillers to increase the performance of the equipment, its safety and
reliability. It optimizes the process efficiency by improving life cycle
maintenance. This leads to reduction in downtime. Downtime is the time from the
first breakdown to running of the machine in full capacity. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">These
technologies have been developed as a result of the focus on research and
development on monitoring BOPs and gas handling capacities. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">There has
been progress in the defense mechanism and the blowout preventer. Annular
blowout preventer is also known as “Hydril”. <a href="http://www.integratedequipment.com/annular_blowout_preventer.asp">Annular
blowout preventers</a> cover the drill pipe even while it rotates during the
drilling. It covers the drill string or non-cylindrical object like the ‘kelly.
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Lot of
research work has been done to help prevent accidents or blowouts at the oil
well. This has helped making oil wells a safer place to work. </span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Oil and gas production may be a profitable industry, but it
does come with an immense share of risks and danger. There are many risks
involved with <a href="http://www.integratedequipment.com/pulsation_dampener.asp">oilfield drilling
equipment</a> and these can have a huge impact, not only on the environment,
but also on the workers and surrounding mammal life as well. Let us take a look
at the different risks present.</span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Environment:</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">While many of us would not like to believe it, oil drilling
can harm the environment as it a source of waste. A leak in the <a href="http://www.integratedequipment.com/">oilfield equipment</a> can cause the
fluids used in the drillers, which are made from oil based mud, to discharge
into the environment. The mud contains mineral oil and diesel fluid, both of
which are harmful to the environment. Companies are conducting endless amounts
of research to create environment friendly fluids.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Oil spills that take place from transportation vehicles or
from the oil well itself can wreak havoc on the environment. Also, it is time
consuming and extremely expensive, amounting in millions of dollars. Oil spills
can have a disastrous effect on wildlife. Birds, different types of fish,
sharks and even sea lions can die from ingesting oil into their systems. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">People:</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Oil well workers are always on the alert, for it is their
quick thinking and action that can stop an oil leak or explosion. And the
effects of an oil spill on human beings can be immense. A person may end up
suffering from respiratory problems, chest pain, dizziness, coughing, vomiting
and headaches. This tends to happen when the body is exposed to chemicals that
get released in an oil spill. Scientists are still assessing the impact of <a href="http://www.integratedequipment.com/pulsation_dampener.asp">oilfield
drilling equipment</a> leaks and oil spills on human beings as it is difficult
to distinguish common illnesses from toxic symptoms. This can lead to DNA damage
in later life.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">So what can one do to reduce the number of risks involved?
One can:</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">·<span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Place
absorbent materials around the equipment to prevent the oil from reaching
drains.</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">·<span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Concrete
curbing built around the <a href="http://www.integratedequipment.com/pulsation_dampener.asp">oilfield equipment</a>
can prevent leakage and buy the cleanup crew time to do their job.</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">·<span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Use
drain inlet covers to prevent the oil from being discharged into the
environment. Drain plugs can also be used.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .25in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .25in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Such and similar methods can help us
to reduce the risks of oil leaks and spills and their impact on the
environment. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Blowout
preventer:</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">There are two type of BOPs; ram and <a href="http://www.integratedequipment.com/annular_blowout_preventer.asp">annular blowout preventer</a>. The
investigation of the Gulf of Mexico spill questions if the individuals or
companies neglected the environmental laws. The function of the BOP is similar
to the air bag of a car. The accident cannot be prevented but the fatalities
from it can be prevented. BOP is the last resort or last option to stop a
gusher or a blowout. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Drill
Pipe:</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">At the oil well at Gulf of Mexico the drill pipe was connected to the
rig through a device and through the initial 3,000 feet of the well. This
extended some 2 ½ miles in the earth. During the spillover the pressure of the blowout
preventer knocked the drill pipe before the BOP could have a chance to perform
its function of stopping a spillover. The drill pipe was deflected once the
well began to flow. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">The federal investigators studying the spillover hired a Norwegian
company to analyze the recovered <a href="http://www.integratedequipment.com/annular_blowout_preventer.asp">blowout preventer</a>. The report given by the
company suggested that the industry should perform a detailed test on the
functions of the blowout preventer. The report concluded that the BOP would
have performed its functions if it was designed to keep the drill pipe in the
appropriate place during the spillover. The findings of the report said that
the BOP was functioning well. It was the high pressures from the well that
caused the spillover. It created conditions that could not be controlled by the
BOP as it was beyond its design parameters. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Whatever the blowout preventer type; ram or annular
blowout preventer it has specific conditions it can operate under. But, if the
conditions are beyond the design of the blowout preventer it is hard to control
a spillover.</span></div>Martin Atwoodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09975527171271122094noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-610971262957541112.post-25400660458128103382012-05-15T02:12:00.001-07:002012-05-15T02:48:02.451-07:00Gate Valves and Dampeners: What’s the difference?<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br />
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Two
products that have become necessities in the oil and gas industry are the <a href="http://www.integratedequipment.com/pulsation_dampener.asp">pulsation
dampener</a> and the <a href="http://www.integratedequipment.com/x_seal_gate_valves.asp">expanding gate
valve</a>. For without these products, oil rigs would not be able to begin or
complete oil and gas drilling. The products are both designed to control the
flow of oil and gas in the well pipe. But there are significant differences
between the two products. One can see the differences below.</span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> Expanding
Gate Valve: The gate valve is one among many valves available for use in the
oil and gas industry. The reason for this is the requirement by the oil rig may
change from partial flow, full or no flow. The expanding gate valve is used
when there is either a complete, full flow of oil required or no oil at all.
The expanding gate valve can come with rising or non rising stem discs. The
rising stem is preferred in many cases as it is possible to tell whether the
valve is open or closed.</span> Padlocks are sometimes
required to lock the gate valve. The non rising stem has an advantage here as
it needs requires only one padlock, whereas the rising stem requires two.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> <a href="http://www.integratedequipment.com/pulsation_dampener.asp">Pulsation dampener</a>: The pulsation dampener controls the flow of fluid in the well pipe.
When there are spikes in flow pressure, causing the fluid to flow in short,
sharp jerks, the pulsation dampener can be used to the ease the flow pressure
and allow the fluid to flow in a smooth manner. Unlike the expanding gate
valve, the pulsation dampener is used for various situations.<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />
<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">·<span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span><b><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">It can be used in a hydraulic system when there is a leakage.</span></b></div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">It can be used in a hydraulic system when there is a
leakage.</span></li>
<li><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">A hydraulic system can use a pulsation dampener as an
energy storage device.</span></li>
<li><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">If they are installed near the valves, the dampeners
can also absorb surges that take place during sudden shutdowns, when the
remaining fluid suddenly rushes back in to the pump.</span></li>
<li><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">By absorbing the pressure surges, a pulsation dampener
can also help to prolong the life of pump components.</span></li>

dampeners</a> are used to stabilize the flow of gas or oil. They also stabilize
the pressure in the circuit with dosing pumps. Pulsation
dampener is gas vessel. Generally the gas in the vessel is Nitrogen. The
function of the pulsation dampener is to separate gas from the circuit liquid.
Thus, it avoids loss of gas. The vessel separates both the fluids and is made
of either of the 2 materials: rubber and thermoplastic material. When rubber is
used it is referred to as bag type. The type of material to be used is decided
on various factors; the pressure, the corrosive effect due to the liquid in the
circuit, and the temperature. </span>

place there is a possibility of a blowout or spillover. One such spillover was
the Gulf of Mexico or Deep water Horizon Oil Spill, a spill in the Gulf of
Mexico, which flowed intensely in 2010 for three months. The spill was a result
of the flow of oil from the sea floor oil gusher on 20<sup>th</sup> April,
2010. It was a result of the explosion of Deep water Horizon submersible Mobile
Offshore Drilling Unit (MODU). This was owned and operated by one of the
world's largest offshore drilling contractors. </span></div>
