CAPE ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES AWARDED 5-YEAR CONTRACT FOR ON-LINE VESSEL AND PIPEWORK CLEANING. At Cape Environmental Services Offshore, online sand removal technology is enabling operating companies to continue production by removing sand from the separation process without the need for platform shutdowns. When oil or gas is produced from relatively weak reservoir rocks, small particles and sand grains are displaced and enter the fluid flow. Up to several tonnes of sand per day can accu*ulate in production separator vessels and production process pipelines. This sand can damage valves, pipelines, pumps and separator vessels and reduce the capacity of the separator to process oil, gas and water. Traditionally, to restore production, wells are shut-in to allow the separation vessels to be opened and the sand manually removed; a costly and time-consuming process. Cape’s drive to provide innovative, value-driven solutions for our customers led to the development of pioneering technology that can remove sand while a customer’s production facility remains online, which: Syphonvac is configured from two systems: a high flow vacuum; and a low-pressure water jetting system. These connect to the vessel discharge point via a common manifold. This allows water to be injected into the vessel via a low-pressure jetting hose, to fluidise formation sand, while allowing the sand to discharge from the vessel under its own pressure. The Cape offshore-certified units are modular The material flowing into the Syphonvac is dispensed into an airflow created by Cape’s Sludgevac airflow system, which in turn is deposited into collection skips for onward disposal either onshore, or via a platform-based sand cleaning system, such as the Cape Equinox
