... of gas phase at the equilibrium with a known amount of hydrocarbon dissolved in the drilling fluid. A laboratory apparatus was assembled and the analysis was performed at two temperatures: 303 K and at 323 K. The first part (at 303K) included the study of the absorption and desorption of C1-C4 gases...

... dehydration of TEG is the use of a water exhauster, known as Coldfinger, where the vapour in equilibrium with the liquid to be dehydrated is continuously condensed and removed. In this work, the Coldfinger apparatus was modelled and a study on the most relevant operating parameters was carried out. A process...

... erosion, which may result in exorbitant remediation costs and reduce the productive life of the well. The paper describes the development and application of a unique rig site apparatus that now makes it possible to determine in real-time if the drilling fluid remaining in the annulus will flow back freely...
