Practical Engineering were contracted by Weatherford’s drilling team to undertake engineering design, drafting and full manufacture of a first of a kind High Pressure, High Temperature (HPHT) Flare Tank for gas drilling. The design was based around the following parameters:

Following project initiation with the Western Drilling Limited team in Brisbane; Practical Engineering mobilised a team of engineers and draftsmen to Port Moresby PNG. The scope of works included re-design of a sub-base structure to allow for heli-portable lifting, part by part, into the PNG highlands.

Practical Engineering completed a third party design certification of an American imported separator vessel to ASME VIII (Div1) to hold gas, oil and water used during well testing operations. Our scope of works included hydrostatic testing of two separators prior to design and plant registration of the vessels with OH&S/ Worksafe for use in Australia as a certified pressure vessel.

Easternwell approached Practical Engineering for Process and Structural design certification of a vented Poorboy Degasser for mud/ gas contents used in gas drilling classed as a pressure vessel under AS1210 and API 12J.
