FlowPlus™ drag reducers provide solutions to throughput issues arising from turbulence large scale injection and export systems.
With decades of formulation expertise, FlowPlus products are formulated for aqueous or oil based drag reduction in a variety of climates.
Each recommendation is custom tailored to the system based on the following.
- Climate: Understanding the need for a winterized chemical
- Base liquid: Seawater, Frac-Water, Oil
- Pipeline Size: Modeling to determine Reynolds number and shear
- Injection Point: Availability of an injection point and shear field of injection point.
- Steady-state model: Baseline pressure drop and expectations for throughput increases
FlowPlus drag reducers are applied in various areas of oil and gas production to increase throughput and decrease pressure drop, or higher pump efficiency. This effect is observed in all fields where drag reducer are applied in turbulent fluid streams. Increased pump efficiency may lead to reduced operational expenses and decreased fuel consumption, which in turn will benefit CO2 emissions
Seawater injection benefits:
- Maintained reservoir pressure
- Increased oil production by increased water injection
- Increasing pump efficiency by decreasing pressure drop
- Increased disposal rate of water
- Reduced CO2 emission
Frac Water injection benefits:
- Increased efficiency
- Reduced energy costs
- Increased throughput
- Reduced CO2 emission
Export line injections benefits:
- Increased discharge rate for crude oil transmission
- Increased pump efficiency
- Decreased energy costs
- Reduced CO2 emission
