Sand and Erosion Monitoring for Underground Gas Storage Retrieval Optimization
Improve maintenance and safety in gas retrieval operations by monitoring solids, fluid erosivity and pipework metal loss
Maximize gas retrieval rates with sand and erosion measurement
During the winter season energy demand peaks, requiring sustained high velocity gas retrieval. Unwanted solids production will the erode pipework, rotating equipment and valves, causing potential loss of containment and costly fines while also hindering delivery commitments.
Measuring the rate of solids particles and the loss in pipe wall thickness are key indicators of risk and impact of erosion that help operators maximize retrieval operations and optimize future storage. Confidently increase your gas retrieval rates through continuous monitoring of solids and metal loss using non-intrusive monitoring technologies that are quick and easy to retrofit to your infrastructure.

Roxar SAM Acoustic Sand Monitor is a non-intrusive sensor that provides real-time production sand information, allowing increased oil & gas production rates and less topside erosion events. The referenced instrument is based on acoustic technology and proprietary algorithms that translate the sand noise into actionable data. The Roxar SAM provides an immediate response to sand production that allows production flow adjustment, sand separator efficiency monitoring and other onshore and offshore upstream applications. The referenced instrument data can be enhanced further with Roxar SandLog and / or Permasense corrosion and erosion monitors.
