Tank Battery Installations

As you know, your field tank battery installations in Carlsbad, NM are crucial to the success of your company. The tank battery is the combination and arrangement of all the flow lines, storage and processing tanks and the other equipment used to operate oil and gas wells. Some tank batteries are designed so they can process input from multiple wells, while others process fluid from multiple wells at once.

Whatever type of equipment you use with your tank battery depends on what you’re producing. That means you have to have a good idea of what you plan to do with your tank battery and wells, to ensure you don’t run into any problems later on down the road.

Here’s what you need to know about tank battery installations in Carlsbad, NM.

Assembling a tank battery

Because your well’s production nature will change, so too will your battery. Your battery’s composition will almost certainly change over the course of the well’s lifespan. That means you’ll need to bring in new equipment to use with the well, as time goes on. Typically, your older equipment will be removed to make room for the new well equipment.

One example is gas pressure. Your old well equipment might have enough pressure to give you sufficient flow, but as the resources are depleted, it will probably fall. That means you’ll need to install a gas lift system—and all the specialized equipment that goes along with it. In fact, by the time the well has reached the end of its normal lifespan, you may even choose to install a hydraulic lift, which involves even more different equipment.

Evolution of a tank battery and equipment

Over time, your well will evolve to the point where it has been used for a few different means of production. That means your batteries will need to evolve, too. Every battery has to suit your needs for production. You might find yourself considering the following needs:

• What you’re pumping: First and foremost, what are you currently pumping? This has a great deal of influence over your tank battery installation, as well as the equipment you use.
• Vessels: Of course, you know that the vessels you use are what receive and store the oil or other fluids your well produces. They’re used to store gas and water until you can sell them, but they can also be used to store gas and water. You’ll probably need to switch out vessels as well as purchase a separator.
• Flow lines: Depending on what you’re pumping, the flow lines can be made of steel pipe, or even synthetic materials like fiberglass or plastic. The goal is to ensure they don’t corrode during operation.

Once you keep these factors in mind, it should be easy to change up your tank battery and equipment—especially when working with a great supplier.
