At the enthusiastic invitation of a professor from the Department of Metal Materials, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Xi’an Shiyou University, the two sides gathered together to conduct in-depth discussions on scientific research projects such as monitoring and control of trace dissolved oxygen (DO) in formation water produced from an oil field under high temperature and high pressure environment in the Tarim region of Xinjiang. This is a collision of theory and practice, and also a fusion of wisdom and innovation.
In the world of oil and gas extraction, every technological innovation is related to the lifeblood of energy. In order to improve oil extraction efficiency, nitrogen injection has become an important technical means. However, the trace oxygen content in nitrogen is like a double-edged sword, which can not only help oil flow, but also may cause hidden dangers due to corrosion of equipment. For this reason, accurate monitoring of the dissolved oxygen content in the formation water produced by the oil field has become a key link in preventing oxygen corrosion and ensuring the safety of oil extraction equipment.
In this cooperation, Xi‘an Shiyou University, with its profound academic background, provided a closed skid-mounted device simulating a high temperature and high pressure environment and a series of high temperature and high pressure resistant metal material accessories, which is like building a solid bridge for scientific research projects. Xi'an Erun Environmental Protection Technology Group Co., Ltd., with its superb technical strength, provided high temperature and high pressure resistant online water quality trace dissolved oxygen monitoring equipment, which is like adding smart wings to this bridge.
The strong cooperation between the two parties will not only bring more accurate water quality monitoring solutions to the oil field exploitation in the Tarim region of Xinjiang, but also inject new vitality into the development of oil and gas field exploitation technology in my country. In this ancient and fertile land, the power of science and technology is writing a new legend. Let us look forward to the spark of this school-enterprise cooperation to shine more brightly in the days to come.
