Liquid Metal Transportation Facility
Heavy metals like mercury often migrate from natural sources—such as source rocks, metal-rich fluids, and oil-producing organisms—and accumulate within oil and gas pipelines, especially in complex terrains. This build-up poses serious challenges including corrosion, flow assurance risks, and environmental hazards. Our Liquid Metal Transportation Facility enables a deep dive into these issues throu...

Brochure
Sand Transportation Facility
Sand production from weak reservoirs is a persistent challenge in the oil and gas industry. When sand becomes entrained in crude oil, it often settles at the bottom of the pipeline, forming stationary beds that lead to serious operational issues—ranging from reduced production rates and excessive pressure drops to equipment failure, erosion, and corrosion. Our Sand Transportation Facility is purpo...
