Onsite Trace Analysis
Early quantified of on-site trace element produced together with petroleum fluid during exploration/ appraisal well and production well start up is important to ensure pipeline, process specification and transportation systems can be met. Some of the element are incombustible with no economic value and others are toxic, corrosive, poisonous and environmentally unfriendly. Special topside facilities and treatment have to be identified to overcome these issues to ensure quality of the oil and gas pro- duces.
Many of these elements have tendency to absorb onto the metal sur- face. Even though we can find special coated sampling cylinders to transfer sample for offsite laboratory analysis, onsite measurement are highly recommended to ensure accurate value is achieved.
