Optimized Level Control
Carefully managing the levels of oil, water, and
glycol is critical to ensuring you get the highest
quality product. Level control valves and
controllers are integral in separating water, gas,
and other constituents from the oil before it is
shipped from the offshore production asset.
The erosive qualities associated with deep
water extraction, like sand and salt particulates,
put these valves under a lot of stress. Flashing,
erosion, and high vibration only add to what is
already a critical application.
With these issues in mind, Emerson has a
variety of Fisher valves, trims, and materials
to handle the challenging level control
applications found on your offshore asset.
Full Range Equipment for Variable Pressures
Like water injection, gas lift and gas injection are methods used
to increase production as the well ages. In this application, gas
injection may also be used as a way to dispose of unwanted
gas production. In either case, the valves are subjected to
high pressures and large pressure drops and must be able to
maintain sufficient uptime. With little opportunity to change
out the valve—not to mention the high cost of doing so—proper
engineering and configuration up front is critical.
Emerson engineers understand that the success of the gas lift
and gas injection methods are directly tied to the initial design of
the control valve. When you require thorough engineering and
high quality standard design, Fisher high pressure control valves
(HP series) provide a thicker valve body wall for extra protection
against erosion and corrosion.
Fisher valves are factory-tested beyond
standard requirements for tight shutoff
and endurance to extend service life and
ensure you achieve optimum production.

Identifying application challenges during the engineering
of a valve is crucial to ensuring valve reliability and more
importantly, ensuring the safety of your personnel.
