Quality Measurement Instrument for Oil and Gas Operations

This course will cover about Oil & Gas well outputs may contain a significant number of pollutants, chemicals, or minerals that affect production quality and the operation of plant facilities. For example, the various corrosion attacks of Mercury on materials such as stainless steel at gas wells is well known. These pollutants, chemicals, and minerals also affect the water quality at plant facilities. Furthermore, the effect of these pollutants, chemicals, and minerals on the environment is a cause for concern. Thus it is important to measure the quality of oil, gas, and water at Oil & Gas plant facilities which are done using specialized quality measurement instruments (QMI).

Quality measurement instruments are quite different from basic measurement instruments (pressure, level, temperature, and flow) and often have unique issues for installation, operation, and maintenance to ensure excellent data. And … excellent data yields excellent decisions, while bad data can yield bad decisions.
