Geothermal plants work in very tough conditions. High heat, high pressure, and corrosive fluids put a lot of stress on pipes, wells, and equipment. Corrosion in geothermal systems is different from normal rust. When high chloride levels combine low pH and high temperature, metal can corrode rapidly in small, hard‑to‑predict spots. These areas often stay hidden beneath layers of scale or in narrow spaces until they cause leaks or failures. Without regular inspections, operators may not detect a problem until it becomes serious. The chemical makeup of the fluids also complicates things. No two geothermal sites are the same, and even wells in the same field can have different characteristics. The fluid composition can change with depth, over time, and when operators adjust reinjection, add makeup water, or change how the plant runs. Because of this, generic corrosion data is usually not sufficient. Each site requires individual testing and a monitoring plan tailored to its specific conditions. This is where continuous, real‑time corrosion and erosion monitoring comes in. By measuring wall thickness over time, teams can see where metal is deteriorating, spot trends early, and plan maintenance before small issues turn into big outages. When paired with accurate flow data, operators can also link corrosion patterns to flow conditions, locate areas prone to erosion, and maintain stable production without risking equipment integrity. For high-temperature pipelines, ultrasonic flowmeters can measure flow accurately even at surface temperatures up to 200°C, providing reliable readings without disrupting operations. This helps with both production control and asset management.

Obtaining representative samples from challenging multiphase wells often requires separation prior to analysis. Proserv Mini-Separators provide a compact and controlled method for separating oil, gas, water and solids at the wellsite, enabling safe and representative sampling under flowing conditions. The system reduces operator exposure to hydrocarbons and hazardous gases while improving sampling efficiency and repeatability. Mini-Separators are particularly suited to: ✅ High GOR wells ✅ Unstable flow conditions ✅ Well testing operations ✅ Production troubleshooting By simplifying multiphase sampling operations, Mini-Separators help operators obtain better quality data with reduced operational complexity. #SmsGroup #WellTesting #Sampling #Production #Safety

Subsea fluid samples are often used to make critical decisions on flow assurance and production chemistry , but their value depends entirely on how representative they are. Proserv’s subsea sampling systems are designed to capture pressurised samples directly from subsea trees, pipelines and manifolds while maintaining in-situ conditions throughout recovery and transfer. Maintaining pressure and minimising disturbance during sampling helps preserve dissolved gas content and fluid composition , which is essential for reliable laboratory analysis. In practice, these samples are typically used for: ✅ Chemical optimisation programmes ✅ Hydrate and wax risk evaluation ✅ Production chemistry monitoring ✅ Multiphase meter verification 📌 Good sampling reduces uncertainty. Poor sampling adds to it. #SmsGroup #Subsea #FlowAssurance #Sampling

The safety concerns surrounding hydrogen sulphide (H₂S) are widely acknowledged in oil and gas operations, but the problem doesn't stop at the wellhead or processing facility. The unloading terminals of trucks, ships, and railcars are particularly exposed to the fact that even slight variations in H₂S concentrations can have implications for personnel safety, equipment integrity, or commercial performance. High levels of H₂S may be observed in terminals that handle rigged oil, refrigerated gas, nitrogenous fillers (NGL), or natural gas/CNG. The use of a real-time H₂S analyser allows operators to: ✅ Ensure that all incoming and outgoing cargoes meet H₂S standards before unloading. ✅ During sudden increases in H₂S levels, immediate alerts are initiated and action plans are implemented to protect personnel and assets. ✅ Ensure that verified information is included in custody transfer records when H₂S is part of contractual arrangements, which can help prevent disputes and avoid penalties for non-compliance. Implementing continuous H₂S monitoring to terminal processes converts an existing regulatory requirement into another strategic asset, improving safety while increasing operational efficiency and strengthening of commercial assurance. #SmsGroup # #H2SSafety #UnloadingTerminals #MarineTerminals #RailTerminals #TruckLoadind #LNGTerminals #NGLHandling #ComplianceMonitoring
