Are You Ready to Fuel Your Mind?

GATE Energy was founded with the mission of doing things right the first time. This simple yet powerful mission drove us to build processes and systems that have allowed us to hire, train, and develop graduate engineers into industry recognized subject matter experts and thought leaders.

Our Technical Blog Gives You Access To:

  • On-demand training videos developed by our industry experts

  • Easy-to-use simulation tools that will provide an 80-20 solution for typical production monitoring and optimization workflows

  • Technical articles and abstracts centered around energy industry knowledge and lessons learned

    We want to do our part and make sure that new decision makers have the right tools, guidance, mentors, and coaches to help them make the right decision the first time, every time.

Risk Based Inspection

In determination of consequence and risk assignment, multiple aspects are considered such as the impact of failure on the health and safety of personnel and community in the impacted area, environment, cost of recovery (cleaning, maintenance, extent of operation, repairs) and business.

Assessing Acid Flowback Integrity Risk

Oil well stimulation is commonly undertaken using aqueous solutions of hydrochloric acid (HCl), hydrofluoric acid (HF), organic acids or mixture. The use of these acids will open new channels near the wellbore region for the oil and gas flow through and will result in increased production.

Corrosion Testing: Methods, Results & Interpretation

Corrosion in field conditions can be extremely slow, thus accelerated test methods have been designed to enable evaluation and prediction of long-term corrosion behavior. In general, corrosion testing is conducted by exposing small samples of a material to the desired environment for a relatively short period of time, then evaluating the type and severity of corrosion in order to select materials or chemicals that will maximize the life of the part in question.

Top Of Line Corrosion

As TOL corrosion occurs in wet gas lines operated in stratified flow, the corrosion inhibitor or other corrosion protection chemicals such as mono-ethylene glycol (MEG) injected into the system remain at the bottom of the line and are not able to protect the top of the line.
