Gas Turbines and Associated Auxiliary Systems in Oil and Gas Applications
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
This tutorial elaborates on the various gas turbine auxiliary systems; for mechanical drive applications in oil and gas projects, from an EPC contractor perspective. The tutorial briefly introduces the basics of gas turbines ...
Lifetime of Gas Turbines Hot Section Parts in an O&G Environment
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
The main driver to define the time between overhauls of a gas turbine is the life of the hot components. For an Oil&Gas operator, a turbine overhaul represents a major cost and therefore is a key point for performance ...
Field Performance Testing Centrifugal and Reciprocating Compressors
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
