Basic Oil and Natural Gas Production
Acid gas is a type of natural gas that contains significant quantities of hydrogen sulfide (H2S), carbon dioxide (CO2), or similar acidic gasses.
Read MoreIn this webinar, Saving Money in Operations: Glycol Dehydration, we engage with experts discussing glycol dehydration units and optimization.
Read Morenatural gas processing has several steps, the main processes include separation, carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide removal, dehydration, and NGL recovery.
Read MoreGas dehydration is the removal of water from the gas stream in order to meet pipeline specifications.
Read MoreRaw natural gas must be dehydrated to remove water vapor. Natural gas dehydration will eliminate the formation of hydrates and over-saturation of natural gas. All of these issues can cause corrosion, impacting the longevity of your gas processing equipment, and cause the gas stream to not meet pipeline specifications.
Read MoreWhat is a coalescing filter? Coalescing filtration or Coalescing gas separators are designed specifically for the removal of mist, fogs, and dust from gas streams. These contaminants usually exist with the bulk of the particles having diameters considerably less than 10 microns; therefore, standard separators or scrubbers are not capable of effectively removing these minute […]
Read MoreCoalescing gas separators (or coalescing separators) are designed specifically for the removal of mist, fogs, and dust from gas streams. Standard separators cannot remove these small, minute contaminants in the gas stream because particles are usually less than 10 microns. A coalescing gas separator consist of a vessel, combining specially constructed coalescing elements and a […]

Read MoreHow to prepare oil and gas processing for winter Why is winter hard on production and processing? Two words; hydrate formations. Hydrates are crystals formed when water and gas are combined in a low temperature and high-pressure environment. They become more prevalent during colder ambient temperatures. During the colder ambient temperatures, water vapor will begin to condense which can cause […]
Read MoreA separator is a mechanical device for removing and collecting liquids from natural gas. Read our blog on What is a Separator? to learn more about the specific applications for a separator. Now, let’s dive in on the specifics of how a separator works and understanding the process a little more in-depth. The Separation Process: All separators […]
Read MoreAn oil and gas separator is used for removing and collecting liquids from natural gas. A properly designed separator will also provide the release of entrained gases from the accumulated hydrocarbon liquids. These separators can go by many names or different purposes like liquid separators, oil separators, water and oil separators, etc., but the most […]

Transcription Hi, my name is Eric Orellana, I’m an engineer here at Croft Production Systems. Today I’ll be talking to you about bullet tanks and some of their features. […]
Read MoreDo you dread the anticipation of having to clean out your TEG? Having to shut down your operation for a few weeks? Here at CROFT we offer a mobile Passive Dehydration System. It is a quick, easy and a temporary way to bypass a TEG and continue to dehydrate the gas while your TEG is […]
Read MoreWhat is a Glycol Dehydration Unit? Triethylene glycol (TEG) unit or glycol dehydrator is a liquid desiccant system used for the removal of water from natural gas and NGLs. It is the most commonly used means of water removal from natural gas. A TEG Unit also referred to as a glycol unit, uses absorption, which […]

Read MoreThere are many guidelines that our industry must follow to ensure there is a safe environment for everyone. At CROFT, we follow the same standard and safety guidelines for all of our equipment and bullet tanks are no exception. Last week we told you what a bullet tank was and what it is used for. […]
Read MoreA bullet tank is a storage container that houses natural gas liquids (NGLs). The tanks come in many different sizes and include accessories that best suit your operation. Bullet tanks range from 6,000 to 30,000 gallons, with an 18,000-gallon tank being the most common size. Tanks should be no more than 70-80% full in order for […]
Read MoreA plunger lift is an artificial list method of deliquifying a natural gas well. A plunger is used to remove contaminants from productive natural gas wells, such as water, sand, oil, and wax. The basics of the plunger is to open and close the well shutoff valve at the optimum times, to bring up the plunger and […]
