The column inventory also can be reducdd by the use of low-holdup column internals, including the holdup in the column base. As the design progresses, other features can be included to reduce the inventory. Thermosyphon reboilers have a lower inventory than kettle reboilers. Peripheral equipment such as reboilers can be located inside the column. ... 

Covalent. Formed by most of the non-metals and transition metals. This class includes such diverse compounds as methane, CH4 and iron carbonyl hydride, H2Fe(CO)4. In many compounds the hydrogen atoms act as bridges. Where there are more than one hydride sites there is often hydrogen exchange between the sites. Hydrogens may be inside metal clusters. 

The gas to be purified passes up the tower and is met by a stream of liquid introduced by a series of sprays. The space inside the lower is empty without packing. 

At lower temperatures, the crystals increase in size, and form networks that trap the liquid and hinder its ability to flow. The pour point is attained which can, depending on the diesel fuel, vary between -15 and -30°C. This characteristic (NF T 60-105) is determined, like the cloud point, with a very rudimentary device (maintaining a test tube in the horizontal position without apparent movement of the diesel fuel inside). 

Plug back cementations, i.e. cement placement inside the casing and across the perforations may be required prior to sidetracking a well or in the course-of abandonment. 

During drilling operations sometimes large volumes of drilling mud are lost into a formation. In this case normal mud circulation is no longer possible and the fluid level inside the borehole will drop, creating a potentially dangerous situation as described below. The formations in which lost circulation can be a problem are ... 

The initial condition for the dry gas is outside the two-phase envelope, and is to the right of the critical point, confirming that the fluid initially exists as a single phase gas. As the reservoir is produced, the pressure drops under isothermal conditions, as indicated by the vertical line. Since the initial temperature is higher than the maximum temperature of the two-phase envelope (the cricondotherm - typically less than 0°C for a dry gas) the reservoir conditions of temperature and pressure never fall inside the two phase region, indicating that the composition and phase of the fluid in the reservoir remains constant. 

For both volatile oil and blaok oil the initial reservoir temperature is below the critical point, and the fluid is therefore a liquid in the reservoir. As the pressure drops the bubble point is eventually reached, and the first bubble of gas is released from the liquid. The composition of this gas will be made up of the more volatile components of the mixture. Both volatile oils and black oils will liberate gas in the separators, whose conditions of pressure and temperature are well inside the two-phase envelope. 

Inside the capillary tube, the capillary pressure (P ) is the pressure difference between the oil phase pressure (PJ and the water phase pressure (P ) at the interface between the oil and the water. 

If a pressure measuring device were run inside the capillary, an oil gradient would be measured in the oil column. A pressure discontinuity would be apparent across the interface (the difference being the capillary pressure), and a water gradient would be measured below the interface. If the device also measured resistivity, a contact would be determined at this interface, and would be described as the oil-water contact (OWC). Note that if oil and water pressure measurements alone were used to construct a pressure-depth plot, and the gradient intercept technigue was used to determine an interface, it is the free water level which would be determined, not the OWC. 

The sidewall sampling tool (Sl/VS) can be used to obtain small plugs (2 cm diameter, 5 cm length, often less) directly from the borehole wall. The tool is run on wireline after the hole has been drilled. Some 20 to 30 individual bullets are fired from each gun (Fig. 5.35) at different depths. The hollow bullet will penetrate the formation and a rock sample will be trapped inside the steel cylinder. By pulling the tool upwards, wires connected to the gun pull the bullet and sample from the borehole wall. 

In a more recent development a new wireline tool has been developed that actually drills a plug out of the borehole wall. With sidewall coring (Fig. 5.36) some the main disadvantages of the SWS tool are mitigated, in particular the crushing of the sample. Up to 20 samples can be individually cut and are stored in a container inside the tool. 

Reservoir engineers describe the relationship between the volume of fluids produced, the compressibility of the fluids and the reservoir pressure using material balance techniques. This approach treats the reservoir system like a tank, filled with oil, water, gas, and reservoir rock in the appropriate volumes, but without regard to the distribution of the fluids (i.e. the detailed movement of fluids inside the system). Material balance uses the PVT properties of the fluids described in Section 5.2.6, and accounts for the variations of fluid properties with pressure. The technique is firstly useful in predicting how reservoir pressure will respond to production. Secondly, material balance can be used to reduce uncertainty in volumetries by measuring reservoir pressure and cumulative production during the producing phase of the field life. An example of the simplest material balance equation for an oil reservoir above the bubble point will be shown In the next section. 

Drainage systems inside the bund wall should be only be open when the outlet can be monitored to avoid hydrocarbon liquids run-off in the event of an unforeseen release of crude. 

Cross flow inside the casing can also be prevented by isolating one zone. However, this may still result in reduced production. Installing a selective completion can solve the problem but is an expensive option. To repair cross flow behind casing normally requires a full workover with a rig. Cement has to be either squeezed or circulated behind the production casing and allowed to set, after which cement inside the casing is drilled out, and the producing zones perforated and recompleted.

In Austria, as well as all over Europe, the first and repetition tests of all pressure equipments including steam drums are required for security reasons within fixed time intervals. These repetitive inspections are done differently in the most European countries, but most time these inspections include, according to the European Pressure Equipment Directive" and the specific national law any kind of over-pressurisation (e.g. hydrotest) and visual inside inspection. 

The most remarkable defects, which have been detected and reported to the custumer, are cracks, casting defects (e g. wrinkles) and inside corrosion.(picture 1)... 

It was pointed out, that the periodical inspection of the steam drums has been become an absolute must especially under the circumstance, that the economical pressure results in smaller wall thickness, higher steam pressure and higher rotation speed. The conventional periodical inspection (hydrotest and visual inside inspection) is on one hand time consuming and therefore expensive and on the other hand the results of the hydrotest are doubtful and can result in a seriously damage of the roundness and balance of the steam drum. 

Integral terms extending on R are reduced to iJc using Boundary Integral Elements on the boundaries of the FEM domain (especially the influence of the source field hs). Inside the FEM domain, edge elements are used to compute the reaction field. 

The ultrasonic testing of anisotropic austenitic steel welds is a commonly used method in nondestructive testing. Nevertheless, it is often a problem to analyze the received signals in a satisfactory way. Computer simulation of ultrasonics has turned out to be a very helpful tool to gather information and to improve the physical understanding of complicated wave phenomena inside the samples.
