Field and Site Services

---

In addition to the manufacture of fluid quality analysers, we can also provide a complete consultancy and project management service for exploration geochemistry, oil and gas fluid behaviour in the reservoir and during production, water injection, waste water treatment and produced water injection projects. These studies can be from initial reservoir studies through conceptual and detailed design to final plant commissioning. Often the most valuable data is the data received fastest and Process Imaging's services focuses on providing high quality data, quickly in the field.

This field service is provided by our team of engineers, who have experience of oil and gas production and water injection projects in Africa, the North Sea, the Middle East, Asia, North America and South America. This experience includes both offshore and onshore projects and covers heavy oil production, gas production and water injection in seawater, aquifer water, river water and produced water systems.
Some examples of this include: 

• Fluid Characterisation
• Chemical Selection
• Process Design
• Commissioning Services
• Process Troubleshooting and Debottlenecking
• Process Optimisation

As Process Imaging is independent of any chemical supply company we offer impartial advice on selection and implementation of chemical treatment programmes, in fact many chemical suppliers and equipment designers are among our customers. Our consultants have first hand experience in the selection, use and optimisation of production and water injection chemicals. Our services also include performing laboratory chemical evaluations.

The production of data in real time allows the customer to react rapidly to process upsets, well changes, production chemistry effects and equipment malfunctions; often programmes that had been scheduled over weeks can be completed in days or even hours. Our field service provides cost effective on site optimisation and future field development plans to maximise revenue and minimise risk.

We offer rental equipment and expert operators to help you obtain the data you need, for as long as you need it.

Online Analysis

We believe that our mobile hazardous area analysers have become one of the most critical and practical tools in the analysis and optimisation of produced water treatment systems. This range of portable analysers with ATEX or IEC Ex conformity allows troubleshooting, trialling and investigation to be made online at site and quickly in way that was never previously possible. 

Our analysers are designed to provide:

• Hydrocarbon in Water concentration (ppm)
• Total Suspended Solids (ppm)
• Hydrocarbon droplet size distribution (microns)
• Solids particle size distribution (microns)
• Gas bubble identification

Analytical and Physical Analysis

To supplement the data provided by our analysers, our engineering team can also perform a range of analytical and physical tests at site. A complete and accurate characterisation of fluids is vital for the design and operation of the appropriate fluid treatment packages, and can be used alongside the data from our equipment to fully explain and understand a process. Some of these tests include:

• Emulsion Tendency
• Full Ionic Analysis
• Total Suspended Solids
• Dissolved Gases (CO₂, H₂S, O₂)
• Scaling Potential
• Rheology
• Corrosivity
