“Well delivery” encompasses all of the activities needed to bring a well online, so that it may deliver hydrocarbons.
Effective and efficient well delivery is critical and is at the heart of an operator’s business, and there’s a continual push to improve. This article outlines seven factors that have a major impact on performance, and why. It also describes why ignoring them isn't a good idea, as well as some tangible benefits of addressing them.

Finding a Better Lining for Free Water Knockout Vessels
May 03, 2023
Sponsored by: Sherwin Williams
Inside free water knockout vessels (FWKOs) used in the upstream energy market, high pressures and temperatures separate oil, gas and water from fluids extracted from the earth. These stresses present challenges to the coatings used to line such vessels. Add to that corrosive attacks from some of the most aggressive materials to come out of the ground, and it might seem like no coating can stand a chance at remaining adhered inside a FWKO over the long term.
