The problems included shortened probe life, lack of accuracy across a useful…
  • Level Blog: Improving Offshore Oil & Gas Production Level Measurements

    I’ve always held a fascination for offshore oil and gas production. It was my first job out of school as a newly minted Electrical Engineer working as a systems engineer out of New Orleans. Technologies have advanced quite a bit since that time back in the mid-to-late ’80s. In an Offshore Design & Engineering Equipment magazine article, Better level measurement , the technologies used in measuring levels and their reliability…
