2. Pumpjack - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumpjack

   Pump size is also determined by the depth and weight of the oil to remove, with deeper extraction requiring more power to move the increased weight of the discharge column (discharge head). A beam-type pumpjack converts the rotary motion of the motor (usually an electric motor ) to the vertical reciprocating motion necessary to drive the ...

3. Extraction of petroleum - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraction_of_petroleum

   Reservoirs of petroleum are formed through the mixture of plants, algae, and sediments in shallow seas under high pressure. Petroleum is mostly recovered from oil drilling. Seismic surveys and other methods are used to locate oil reservoirs. Oil rigs and oil platforms are used to drill long holes into the earth to create an oil well and extract ...

4. Types of plant oils - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Types_of_plant_oils

   A press developed at MIT's D-Lab, for example, is capable of exerting 800–1,000psi to extract peanut oil. [2] Industrial machines for extracting oil mechanically are call expellers. Many expellers add heat and pressure, in order to increase the amount of oil extracted. If the temperature does not exceed 120 °F, the oil can be called "cold ...

5. Water injection (oil production) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_injection_(oil...

   Water was filtered in the water injection filters, one duty and one on standby/backwash. From the filters water was routed to the water injection pumps. The three water injection pumps each had a capacity of 221 m 3 /hr with a differential head of 2068.5 metres (209 bar). The pumps discharged to the 3,000 psi manifold and wellheads.

6. Marine pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_pump

   The rotational energy typically comes from an engine or electric motor. The fluid enters the pump impeller along or near to the rotating axis and is accelerated by the impeller, flowing radially outward into a diffuser or volute chamber (casing), from where it exits. The gear pump is a marine gear pump that uses the meshing of gears to pump ...

7. Evaporator (marine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporator_(marine)

   This pump had three combined functions as a seawater feed pump, a fresh water delivery pump and a brine extraction pump, each of progressively smaller capacity. [25] The brine salinity was an important factor in evaporator efficiency: too dense encouraged scale formation, but too little represented a waste of heated seawater.

8. Oily water separator (marine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oily_water_separator_(marine)

   The oil in the water coalesces on the underside of the plate eventually forming droplets before coalescing into liquid oil which floats off the plates and accumulates at the top of the chamber. The oil accumulating at the top is then transferred to waste oil tank on the vessel where it is later discharged to a treatment facility ashore.

9. Oil production plant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_production_plant

   An oil production plant is a facility which processes production fluids from oil wells in order to separate out key components and prepare them for export. Typical oil well production fluids are a mixture of oil, gas and produced water. An oil production plant is distinct from an oil depot, which does not have processing facilities.
