Crude Oil Flow Improvers Market Trends and Forecast 2016 - 2024

thumbnail
Crude oils are complex mixtures of hydrocarbons with nonpolar n-paraffins and polar asphaltenes. Fresh crude is relatively mobile since it is stored at very high pressure and temperature. When it has to be transported to longer distances, the ambient conditions are lower temperature and pressure. This causes the crude oil to form wax crystals on the pipeline walls from where it is being carried, produced, or stored. Crude oil flow improvers act as catalysts in reducing viscosity, depressing the pour point, and lowering the drag coefficient of crude oil. Crude oil flow improvers are also termed as drag-reducing agents (DRA).
Thus by using crude oil flow improvers or DRAs, increased flow can be achieved using the same pressure or decreased pressure and flow rate. Crude oil flow improvers consist of long-chain hydrocarbon polymers, which acts as flow turbulence inhibitors along the pipeline walls to decrease the amount of energy lost in turbulent activity. In some cases where the pipeline carrying crude oil or where it is stored is shut for a prolonged period of time, the cooled crude oil in it slowly develops a gel structure which results in high yield stress. Crude oil flow improvers also help restart pipeline (onshore /offshore crude oil transportation assets).

Crude Oil Flow Improvers: Market Dynamics and Trends
The fluctuating viscosity and drag coefficient of crude oil are two of the major factors to consider when maintaining the uniform flow of crude oil. Crude oil flow improvers help achieving/maintain these factors at a constant level wherein energy and capital expenditure is less, with a desired result of smooth-flow crude.
Crude oils with high proportion of sulfur (heavy/sour crude) have API gravity higher 20, meaning the turbulence level is low. Those with a low content of sulfur (light/sweet crude) have API gravities of less than 20, thus turbulence level is high. Crude oil flow improvers help maintain the flow by varying the API gravities of the crude oil. The additives in the crude oil flow improvers have the below properties:
  • Long-chain hydrocarbon content;
  • Similarity of the molecular weight of additives to the crude oil in order to assist in its dissolution and make it easily extractable during the refining process;
  • Physical and chemical stability of the additives;
  • In the case of copolymer additives, monomer-to-monomer ratio is to be considered.
Currently, most of the crude extracted from all crude oil baskets worldwide is heavy and sour. It is essential for the crude oil flow improver additive to possess above properties. The market is set to increase in the future because of heavy crude extraction in E&P activities.
Crude Oil Flow Improvers: Market Segmentation
Based on the API gravity of the crude, crude oil flow improvers are classified as:
  • Viscosity reducers;

Distribution Transformer Market Global Industry Analysis 2016 - 2024

distri
A distribution transformer or service transformer provides the final voltage transformation in the electric power distribution system, stepping down the voltage used in the distribution lines to the level used by the customer. Distribution transformers usually do not operate at full load; they are designed to offer maximum efficiency at lower loads. Voltage regulation in these transformers is kept minimum to improve efficiency. Thus, distribution transformers are designed to have small leakage reactance. Transformers smaller than 500 kVA are generally called distribution transformers. Distribution transformers with voltage distribution less than 33 kV are used in industries, while 380V/220V distribution transformers are used for domestic purposes. The number of customers fed by a single distribution transformer varies depending on the number of customers in an area. Several homes may be fed off a single transformer in urban areas; rural distribution may require one transformer per customer.
A large commercial or industrial complex would require multiple distribution transformers. Pad mount transformers are used in urban areas and neighborhoods where the primary distribution lines run underground. Distribution transformers are manufactured using a core made from laminations of sheet steel stacked. These are either glued together with resin or banded together with steel straps. Where large numbers of transformers are made to standard designs, a wound C-shaped core is economic to manufacture. A steel strip is wrapped around a former, pressed into shape, and then cut into two c-shaped halves, which are re-assembled on the copper windings.

Distribution Transformer Market: Dynamics and Trends
Formerly, distribution transformers for indoor use would be filled with a polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) liquid. They have been banned, as these liquids persist in the environment and have adverse effects on animals. Other fire-resistant liquids such as silicones are used where a liquid-filled transformer must be used indoors. Certain vegetable oils have been applied as transformer oil; these have the advantage of a high fire point and are completely biodegradable in the environment. Transformer/distribution polarity is required when there is a need for parallel transformers to gain additional capacity or to hook up three single-phase transformers to make a three-phase bank. The way the connections are made affects angular displacement, phase rotation, and direction of rotation of connected motors. Polarity is also important when hooking up current transformers for relay protection and metering.
Distribution Transformer Market: Segmentation
The distribution transformer market is segmented based on field of usage (power transformer for transmission network, distribution transformer for distribution network, power supply, isolation, rectifier, and others); number of phases (single phase and multi-phase); installation location (overhead distribution systems, underground or above ground vaults, pad mounts, and interior installation); and region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Middle East & Africa, and Asia Pacific).

Riserless Light Well Intervention Market Global Market Opportunity Assessment Study 2020.

thumbnail
With the increasing number of subsea wells requiring some sort of interventions such as repair, measurements, plug zone isolation, chemical treatment, scale removal there is an increasing demand for an efficient subsea light well intervention service. Such a service has been in operation on the Norwegian continental shelf for the past three years and is systematically being improved from year to year. Currently, a long term commitment has been made by Norwegian operators to acquire a RLWI service for one provider for a period of five years. In conjunction with this long term commitment new and improved technology is developed to make this service more efficient. These new technologies include deployment systems, composite cables, coiled tubing from light vessels and advanced well control systems.
Presently there are 300 operating subsea wells by Norwegian companies on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. Further, Norwegian companies are operating subsea fields in deep waters and arctic areas through their international efforts. Historically, some sort of well intervention is required often in subsea wells as large gap is found between wells on fixed platforms and subsea wells. It is mainly due to the lack of well intervention capacity and high cost for subsea wells. Hence, there arises a need to establish a RLWI service that can operate across asset borders.
View exclusive Global strategic Business report : http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/sample/sample.php?flag=B&rep_id=3491
Lowering down the cost of operations is the key driving force behind the development of RLWI technology. Such type of technology helps in carrying out cost effective operations into existing subsea wells thereby resulting in additional production volumes from mature subsea fields at highly competitive costs.
The technology comprises a lubricating system for injecting downhole tool packages into the wellbore under full pressure and without taking hydrocarbons back to the vessel. All the equipments to regulate the subsea wells are employed from the dynamically positioned monohull vessel without requiring anchors and workover risers. RLWI operations are generally carried out from a dynamically positioned built intervention vessel to carry out the following operations such as gauging, plugging, logging, re-perforating and various mechanical works to reduce the flow restrictions.
By converting well intervention work from expensive drilling rigs to light monohull vessels the well intervention cost is reduced drastically, thereby enabling large intervention work and gradually increased oil recovery. With advancements in technology subsea IOR project development is taking place and it has direct implications on the type of direct operation to be performed with Riserless Light Well Intervention vessel. The task of establishing a long term RLWI alliance is accomplished with the help of long term agreements between operators and service providers.
The cost of well intervention operations in subsea wells using drilling rigs is higher than conventional well operations. As a result, well interventions such as PLTs are not performed nearly as required from the data gathering point of view with less reservoir understanding. Thus, the newly procured services from the RLWI alliance constitute a solid basis for lowering the cost. Emerging economies and growing populations are some of the key drivers of the riserless light well intervention market. However, integration of new technologies with the existing technology can hinder the growth of the market. Huge opportunities are there for riserless light well intervention market as demand for energy is increasing at a healthy rate owing to the rapid industrialization.
Some of the key players in the business of riserless light well intervention market include FMC Technologies, Statoil ASA, FTO Services, Sapura Kencana Well Services, Aker Solutions and Helix Energy Solutions Group Inc. among others.
