## Vessels
## TESSEL™
## Hatchless Production / Storage Vessel
Petrosmith is a leader in surface production equipment and has the capabilities and shop capacity to build the largest and most advanced pressure vessels and tanks in the upstream oil and gas industry.  Our innovative engineering and production team has designed and fabricated ASME pressure vessels which combine the functionality of production vessels with the storage capacity of an API 12F tank, all in the same footprint.  We have branded it the TESSEL™ and are proud to introduce it to the industry.
The Petrosmith TESSEL™ is designed to help reduce or eliminate fugitive methane emissions, by elimination of the traditional thief hatch which is normally found on an API 12F or API 650 type of tank.  The TESSEL’s™ higher allowable operating pressure, combined with a higher vacuum pressure rating compared to both API 12F and API 650 tanks, allows for more efficient use of a vapor recovery system without a VRT, allowing for improved gas reclamation which prevents it from gathering in tanks and venting through the thief hatch.  For those operators looking to reduce methane emissions and improve overall wellsite efficiency, TESSEL™ could be a key part of your facility design.
Our TESSEL™ allows for vessel surge capacity for tankless facilities with standard sizes of 500bbl, 750bbl, and 1000bbl (nominal sizes).  The traditional vertical orientation allows for direct replacement for existing API 12F tank designs.  The vertical design allows for efficient well pad footprint compared to horizontal surge vessels, as well as more efficient use of fluid volume in a vertical design compared to horizontal surge vessels. ASME Code and Non-code versions are available in both 12’ and 15’-6” diameter sizes.

TESSEL™ has several key advantages. Internal pressure rating of 30 PSIG, and external pressure rating (vacuum) of 3 PSIG allows for efficient use with vapor recovery units. Elimination of the traditional thief hatch associated with API 12F tanks allows for fugitive gas emission elimination. Reduction or elimination of gas venting can help reduce or eliminate costly EPA fines associated with new regulations.  Also, more efficient use of the Vapor Recovery Unit (VRU) will allow more gas to go to compression and sales, rather than go to flare, thereby eliminating additional EPA fines.
Additional technical advantages of utilizing a Petrosmith TESSEL™ in your production facility:
* Elimination of O2 pull through from the thief hatch, to maintain consistent O2 content
* Reduction of the duration for a gas purge operation at start-up
* Closed loop system allows for elimination of fugitive gas emissions from the thief hatch
* Increased and consistent pump feed with higher net positive pressure available due to higher allowable working pressure, to help feed pressure to the pumps
* Increased and more efficient use of the vapor recovery unit by its ability to help maintain a steady and higher suction pressure for the VRU
* Higher vacuum rating helps to prevent tank collapse during rapid evacuation of liquid via water pumps or LACT units or recycle pumps
* Increased ability for enhanced the recovery of NGL (Natural Gas Liquids) extraction from captured flash gas and residual low-pressure gas
There are also cost advantages of utilizing a TESSEL™ in your production facility:
* Elimination of the Vapor Recover Tower, and associated VRT guy wires, foundation, etc.
* Elimination of a considerable amount of piping to/from VRT
* Elimination of tank containment (user preference) due to the TESSEL™ being part of the production vessel train
* Elimination or reduction in fines associated with fugitive gas emissions

## Piping Systems
A piping system is more than simply sticks of pipe welded together. It is the lifeline of the facility. As part of the Modflex by Petrosmith offering, our Petrosmith piping systems can vary in size, length, and design to accommodate any type of facility layout. Whether they are simple gap skids connecting your inlet separators on your well site facility, or the entire header system for a central battery, Petrosmith modular piping systems are the solution. Our modular piping systems are prefabricated, assembled, hydro tested and 100% fit up in our facility prior to being shipped out to site. This process lowers costs, improves mechanical completion timelines, and eliminates safety issues that are seen in the field with alternative methods of execution. From the inlet to the transfer point on your facility, Petrosmith modular piping systems are an essential piece to any facility modularization program.
#### Pressure Ratings:

### Inlet Manifolds
An inlet manifold is a piping and valving system that acts as a gathering point for multiple well streams. It allows the streams to be separated and gives the operators the ability to control where an individual well stream will be sent in the facility due to the valving setup. Inlet manifolds are as the name states at the beginning of a central gathering facility or a multi-well facility. Inlet manifolds are also called valving manifold, test/bulk manifold, multi-well manifold, inlet control manifold. The biggest benefit is in central gathering and the control the valving system provides to operating testing cycles vs. bulk separation as well as being designed for the capability to expand to more incoming well streams.

## Plug & Abandonment
As a well reaches the end of its useful life and is no longer economically viable, it becomes a liability instead of an asset. At that stage, the operator should be looking for the most economically and responsible way to abandon the well, namely by contracting with an experienced Plug and Abandonment contracting service provider such as Petrosmith.
Since 1987, Petrosmith has been performing Plug and Abandonment (P&A) services for operators’ wells throughout Texas and New Mexico. Our customers range from small independents to major integrated oil and gas companies.   Petrosmith has four pulling rigs capable of plugging more than 300 wells annually.  Each plugging crew and pulling rig are outfitted for the most versatile and efficient operations and all can plug wells up to 12,000 feet.  Our experienced crews are thoroughly trained, knowledgeable, and follow all appropriate safety protocols required to provide P&A operations in a safe and effective manner.  Each crew has been trained in First Aid, H2S, and CPR, and all work at each location kicks off with a job site assessment to ensure safe operations throughout the plugging program.  Petrosmith is certified through ISNetworld, as well as an approved cementer with the Texas Railroad Commission.
For abandoned wells or wells at the end of their producing life, contact our Plug and Abandonment Manager to evaluate the need for plugging services and have Petrosmith provide you a turnkey bid for your plugging needs.

## Internal Pipe Coating
Petrosmith’s pipe coating facilities are capable of providing new and used pipe, tubing and casing coating from 20-42 feet in length. These coatings prolong the life of your pipes, protecting them from the elements and from the harsh corrosives found in saltwater, petroleum products and other oil and gas production chemicals.
Our powder coating supplier is Valspar/AkzoNobel.
* Petrosmith offers nylon coating, epoxy coatings and modified epoxy coatings
* Petrosmith has powder for drill pipe, tubing and casing
* Petrosmith can powder coat the couplings using a Ryton powder or our Nylon powder
* Per customer request, we can provide powder from any supplier
Petrosmith’s primer supplier is Rohm-Haas, and we only use Corvel EP-10 Primer.
* Corvel EP-10 provides adhesion at elevated temperatures and pressures, which assures performance in the presence of salt water, CO2, H2S, petroleum distillates and drilling muds.
Petrosmith boasts two sets of power tongs to remove or install couplings before and after coating the pipe.
Two burn out ovens on site that keep the coating plant efficient. There are two coating ovens that are 45 feet wide for pre-heat and post-heat operations.
* This ensures the pipe is heated to the correct coating temperature prior to coating, and we are using the correct temperature on the final bake. The special oven widths allow the pipe to be in the heat for a longer time.
