Delivering high viscosity oil in harsh operating conditions requires reliable and durable pumps. Between the oil company and the pump supplier, the technology must be guaranteed. Colfa screw pumps help with oil transport and pipeline purification. French oil company MaureletProm needed to install a pump that could transport crude oil from the field to the refinery at a distance of about 145 kilometers. It would have been a simple route, but the journey from oil field to refinery hides some of Africa's most uneven terrain.

Remote field

Colfa Petroleum, a professional fluid equipment manufacturer, offers pumps that are durable and reliable for use in remote oil and gas fields around the world with twin screw operating systems and screw pump operating systems.

As a pipe to speed up the installation, 2W.W double screw pump can transport 30,000 barrels of crude oil every day, water to clean the pipeline. The screw pump supports five docile areas in the pipeline, insisting that the viscous crude oil can freely move in the tube.

The French oil company MaureletProm chose the Colfa pump to pump crude oil through the 145 km pipeline connecting the Onal field production area and the Gabon region refinery, adjacent to the west coast of Africa. According to MaureletProm Oil company officials, the pump is not only used because of its durability and reliability, but also because Colfa supplies a collaborative plan that can actually solve the problem.

DanielJoslin, the business division of Colfa France, said: "We will supply MaureletProm Oil with specialized equipment and technical support for every crude oil plant. "MaureletProm Oil's further pipeline expansion in West Africa is a true overseas service support. For example, we stop detailed operational inspections of crude oil and water, test our pumping techniques against the conditions in the region, and we supply the perfect engineering assistant to provide specialized pumping techniques precisely for the detailed conditions."

MaureletProm originally used only Kohl's screw pumps for stabilizing oil zones to deliver crude oil to the clean system. But oil companies are convinced that long-haul pumps can also be tested. Through a series of deep planning, the screw pump recommended by Colfa has become the best choice. Colfa engineers demonstrated to MaureletProm Petroleum that a combination of screw pumps selected for remote locations can transport high-viscosity crude oil from the field while reducing procurement costs by 50%.

As part of the program, Colfa supplied various supports for the pumping system, including speed standards and start-up processes. Colfa meets the entire requirements of the pump, including line diameter, bypass, grooves, safe operation instructions, etc.

The screw pump operates at low pressure to meet the activity needs of the 5 warm areas next to the pipeline to ensure the normal flow of crude oil - primarily for the extraordinary crude oil composition of the Onal oil field, which has a viscosity of 30 to 1380 centipole. In addition, the pump reliably reverts deep crude oil to the disposal facility while purifying the water, filtering out paraffin and other substances before reaching the pipeline
