CASE STUDY: Improving Oil and Gas Separator Performance using the AVEVA™ PI System™ Software

Separators in the oil and gas industry are pressurized containers that use gravity to separate two or three materials (oil, gas, and/or water) of different densities on a well. These separators have two pipes, one at the top for gas and one at the bottom for liquid. Having separator issues could mean the gas-liquid ratio isn’t ideal, wasting oil and gas production. To avoid production losses, oil and gas companies often fix issues with their separators before they even get a report of the...
