Abstract: Disclosed are an inlet distributor device and its use in a separation vessel for separating liquid and gas. The separation vessel also includes a mist elimination device for removing vapor droplets. The inlet distributor device includes a distributor body of a rigid material having a partially enclosed three-dimensional shape, a distributor inlet adapted to be fitted to the vessel inlet such that the distributor body is positioned internally within the vessel, and a mesh material within the volume of the distributor body. Also disclosed is a method for designing the inlet distributor device. A mesh file representing the separation vessel, the mist elimination device and the inlet distributor device is generated using estimated design parameters of the separation vessel and estimated coordinates defining the distributor body. A computational fluid dynamics software package is utilized to simulate fluid behavior of fluid flowing in and through the separation vessel and solve for fluid behavior based on known and estimated variables, operating conditions and mesh material parameters. The estimated design parameters and geometry of the inlet mesh distributor, estimated variables, operating conditions and/or mesh material parameters are modified as needed until the desired fluid behavior is obtained such that the mist elimination device in the separation vessel is not overloaded with liquid droplets and velocities in the mist elimination devices are within a design velocity range.

Abstract: A coated pipe to transmit produced fluids in a system configured to recover hydrocarbons from a subterranean formation may include a pipe component configured to transmit the produced fluids and having an internal surface defining an inner diameter of the pipe component; and a coating deposited on the internal surface of the pipe component and configured to extend the life of the pipe component by mitigating erosion caused by the produced fluids during transmission thereof.

Abstract: A technique for reducing erosion on the interior of a production component of a well system involves coating the interior of the production component with a series of ribs and grooves. The coating can be a non-metallic material in which the ribs and grooves are formed. The coating can also be applied as a series of ribs that are attached to the interior surface of the production component. The series of ribs can be made of alternating materials that have a different hardness causing the ribs to wear at different rates.

Abstract: An acoustic sand monitor system includes an exciter assembly and a receiver that are configured to be coupled to an accumulator vessel. Separating equipment separates sand from a fluid stream produced by a well. The accumulator vessel collects the sand separated from the fluid stream. The exciter assembly causes vibrations of the accumulator vessel and the receiver measures audio signals generated by the vibrations of the accumulator vessel. A control system analyzes the audio signal to determine the amount of sand collected in the accumulator vessel.
