At DXP Quadna, we serve a variety of markets throughout the Southwest and Rocky Mountain regions. Many of our biggest clients are in the oil and gas industry. We understand the unique needs of upstream, midstream, and downstream applications, as well as refineries and petroleum product manufacturing. From chemical metering to saltwater transfer and injection, we have your pumping needs covered with custom-engineered and packaged skid units.
Saltwater Transfer Applications
Produced water, or “salt water,” is a byproduct of oil production. A producing oil well produces salt water and gas in addition to the crude oil. Once the product reaches the surface, it must be treated to separate the oil, water, and gas. Although the produced water has no resale value, saltwater transfer and disposal are important processes in the oil and gas industry. This “salt water,” as it is known, is often gathered from the well pad locations with a pipeline gathering system and sent to a salt water disposal where it will be injected into the ground with an effective pump system. Saltwater transfer skids are a critical component of the gathering system and move the liquid to the disposal site. Because the salt water is corrosive in nature, it can create challenges for pump equipment, seals, pipelines, and other components.
Specialized Pump Equipment Requirements
Operators dealing with saltwater transfer rely on robust pump equipment designed to handle the challenging qualities of these fluids. You must use the correct types of pumps, along with construction materials that can stand up to the salt water being pumped. On top of this, you may need control and monitoring systems and other specific configurations based on your gathering system. Not all oil and gas salt waters are exactly the same. Chemicals and materials may vary based on the source of the oil.
Custom-Engineered Pump Skids
Our goal is to make the installation and production processes as simple as possible for our clients in the oil and gas industry. This is why we fabricate custom saltwater transfer skids featuring the best pump equipment, accessories, and custom configurations. These turnkey units are packaged to include everything you need to pump right away. The skid designs also allow for convenience and mobility. Whether you keep the unit in one spot or need to move it to new locations periodically, you have all the equipment and controls readily available to save your operation significant time and money.
Each saltwater transfer skid from DXP Quadna is custom-engineered to meet your specific requirements. We work closely with our clients to determine the necessary specifications. Then the skid unit can be expertly designed and fabricated to ensure the best possible results based on the customer’s needs.
