Steam Heat Exchanger
A steam heat exchanger consists of a pressurized tank (usually 150 or 350 psi) that contains a set of process coils. Steam is piped into the vessel from an external steam generator to heat the well effluent passing through the process coils.The steam heat exchanger is considered to be the preferred unit for offshore use. […]
Indirect Fired Heater
Water Bath Heaters are designed to heat high-pressure fluids and gas coming from the well or pipeline. Water bath heaters (water jacket furnace) are used in the oil and gas industry for heating the medium of the pipeline to prepare for further technological needs. It is also called an indirect bath heater. The configuration of […]
Choke Manifold
Chokes are throttling valves that allow operators to control the wellstream. They are capable of withstanding erosion resulting from the very high velocities occurring at and immediately downstream from the orifice. The Apex Choke Manifold allows operators to limit erosion to the replaceable parts within the choke. The standard Apex Choke Manifold is a five-valve, […]
Chemical Injection Pump
Chemical Injection Pumps are air driven piston type pumps used to inject various chemicals into the flow stream at pressure.The pumps can be skid mounted with control valving, reservoir, hose reels etc. or can be stand alone.The chemicals are used to prevent hydrates, cure foaming problems, treat the fluid to reduce the H2S content, reduce […]
ESD Panel
Apex Petroleum Services uses Hydraulic Control Panels to operate the hydraulic actuators fitted to the surface test tree and surface safety valve. The Apex Petroleum Services range of hydraulic control panels is designed to provide the hydraulic pressure required to hold open various types and makes of actuated valves. These panels also supply pneumatic control […]
Surface Safety Valve
Inline Surface Safety Valves are installed upstream of the choke manifold to provide quick response valve closure, isolating the system in case of line or vessel rupture. The Apex Petroleum Services standalone Emergency Shutdown (ESD) valve consists of a fail-closed, actuated gate valve with two flanged adaptors to allow installation into the pressure control section […]
Data Header
The Data Header is a piping component with several ports along or around its length that provide access to the flow stream for sampling, monitoring of pressure and temperature, sand/silt monitoring, and chemical injection. It is usually mounted in the production flow path upstream and downstream of the surface choke manifold. Features and Benefits: OperationThe […]
Coflexip Hose
The Apex Petroleum Services Flexible Armored Hose is generally used for 5000, 10,000 psi, and 15,000 psi applications to replace hard piping where any expansion in the work string and movement may occur. The hoses are used to convey fluids to and from the surface test tree, to the rest of the surface test package, […]
Surface Test Tree
The Surface Test Tree (STT), also known as the Flowhead, is located directly on top of the well and serves as the first piece of equipment that well fluid passes through. Its primary function is to control the flow of fluid into and out of the well. Equipment and Configuration The size and number of […]
