Full output resumes at Norway's Mongstad oil refinery

Full output has resumed at the Mongstad oil refinery in Norway, operator Equinor said, following a partial outage on July 12 due to a lightning strike near the plant.

A Case for Criteria that Simplify Process Vessel Lining Selection

Process vessels, also known as pressure vessels, deliver a critical function within oil and gas upstream operations. Subjected to elevated temperatures and pressures, these vessels are used to process hydrocarbon mixtures to remove corrosive materials from oil before transport. Linings are frequently used to mitigate corrosion inside process vessels and extend their service lives and maintenance cycles.
