Installing a safe and reliable mechanical seal support system is not an easy feat. The mechanical seal support system regulates the fluid system environment to set process conditions, ensuring process …

Fugitive emissions are one of the biggest issues for Canada’s oil and gas sector. In 2020, the industry accounted for almost 36.4% of the country’s total methane emissions. And, what …

With 80% of Alberta’s oil sands buried 150 meters to 450 meters deep on average, steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) is the trusted method for heavy crude oil and bitumen recovery …

What makes a high-quality seal support system? In a basic sense, we may link the quality of a seal support system to its ability to provide the ideal condition for …

The extent of loss from a mechanical seal support leak rate can vary, but they’re inevitable. One major reason for pumping application failure, as seen across refineries in Alberta, has …

Recovery of heavy oil in steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) is highly dependent on the temperature and viscosity of the fluids involved. It is well established that when the heated steam …

Heavy oil and bitumen production has been on the rise in Alberta, with data showing over 11.6% increase in 2021. Among the different methods of recovery, Alberta SAGD projects have …

Hydrogen production doesn’t usually involve the high temperatures and corrosive fluids that can threaten the reliability of equipment in oil and gas refineries. However, high-temperature hydrogen attack, stress corrosion cracking, …

Selecting, installing, and the management of an appropriate gas distribution system is critical for the petrochemical industry in Alberta. Petrochem facilities require a gas distribution management system that is designed …

Gas pressure regulators may seem like a dime a dozen. But when one goes bad, you can have a whole host of problems, from a poor quality product to fires …
