As production of crude, condensates, gas and NGLs in the Permian basin continue to soar, E&Ps require confidence that takeaway infrastructure will provide adequate capacity and link wells to optimally priced markets for each commodity. These challenges are exasperated by the glut of sweet light crude and condensates, which demand pipeline expansions, refinery retrofits and raise questions on safety and pricing across all modes of transports.
Midstream companies are keen to propose solutions across pipeline, rail, trucking and barge. The ability to understand production forecasts across each sub-basin and identify gaps in takeaway capacity to provide enhanced netback and flow assurance to competitors is more crucial than ever. Meanwhile operators need to understand how refinery upgrades, LNG exports and other market drivers will drive demand and pricing dynamics Permian Basin products.
Featuring a totally revamped agenda with 20+ fresh case studies from leading E&Ps and midstream operators, the 3rd Annual Permian Basin Takeaway Capacity & Product Markets Congress 2014, speakers at the event will be quantifying production volumes & examining timescales for establishing takeaway capacity & markets. The practical output will be to help the industry ensure that takeaway capacity and markets meet rising production of crude, condensate, natural gas & NGLs in the Permian Basin and ensure that infrastructure build-out keeps up with levels of supply

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.
Courier management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
It is now-a-days very important for the people to send or receive articles like imported furniture, electronic items, gifts, business goods and the like. People depend vastly on different transport systems which mostly use the manual way of receiving and delivering the articles. There is no way to track the articles till they are received and there is no way to let the customer know what happened in transit, once he booked some articles. In such a situation, we need a system which completely computerizes the cargo activities including time to time tracking of the articles sent. This need is fulfilled by Courier Management System software which is online software for the cargo management people that enables them to receive the goods from a source and send them to a required destination and track their status from time to time.

The proposed project is developed to manage the automobile in the automobile dealer company. The main module in this project is login, automobile management, customer management, sales, complaints and reports. The first module is the login. The automobile showroom owner should login to the project for usage. The username and password are verified and if it is correct, next form opens. If the username and password are not correct, it shows the error message.
When a customer search for a automobile, if the automobile is available, they will be taken to a page that shows the details of the automobile including automobile name, automobile ID, quantity, price etc. “Automobile Management System” is useful for maintaining automobiles, customers effectively and hence helps for establishing good relation between customer and automobile organization. It contains various customized modules for effectively maintaining automobiles and stock information accurately and safely.
When the automobile is sold to the customer, stock will be reduced automatically. When a new purchase is made, stock will be increased automatically. While selecting automobiles for sale, the proposed software will automatically check for total number of available stock of that particular item, if the total stock of that particular item is less than 5, software will notify the user to purchase the particular item.
Also when the user tries to sale items which are not in stock, the system will prompt the user that the stock is not enough. Customers of this system can search for a automobile; can purchase a automobile easily by selecting fast. On the other hand the stock of automobiles can be maintained perfectly by the automobile shop manager overcoming the drawbacks of existing system.

Global Oil Markets Are Impacted By
and Impacting U.S. Shale Oil Boom
Global oil price issue is caused by oversupply
Oversupply is approximately 1 -2mb/d globally (out of 95mb/d)
U.S. crude production grew by ~1mb/d during both 2013 & 2014
Lower prices are finally dampening U.S. crude growth in 2015 and
2016
Similar U.S. regional oversupply in gas and NGL
Global crude oversupply expected to last into
2016 at least
Oil prices not expected to recover quickly
1/3 of economists believe it will drop to $30/barrel
Price recovery continues to push to the right

Cost Reduction Has Been Main Focus for
Shale Oil Producers Since Last Fall
Producers had already been working hard on their
internal productivity – and sped up the process by:
Focusing on drilling “sweet spots” only
Eliminated exploratory drilling – R&D budgets down by 30-50% for 2015
Focusing on perfecting latest, most productive fracking techniques
In Q4 2014, E&Ps asked for 25-30% price reductions from
all suppliers and the request flowed down supply chain
Many suppliers have responded with 5-25% price reductions
Cost reduction push will be relentless for foreseeable future Source: EOG Resources, May 2015

Recent Fracking Trends – “High
Intensity” and DUC
High intensity techniques producing 25-100%
productivity increases
Inner “perf” distances reduced by half
Large increases in stages per well – up to 80!
Sand per lateral foot increases 2X to 5X
Slickwater technique enables higher sand intensity
Some are reducing or eliminating ceramics and RCS (<10% of
total proppant usage)
Still a growing trend over the next 2-3 years
Leaders began trials in 2013
Impacted market in 2014
Adopted by 25%(?) of producers so far
Expansion at all liquid shale plays
Growth of “Fracklog” has contributed to the
volume decrease of frac sand
Also called “Drilled, Uncompleted Wells” (DUCs)
Estimated in total to be 3,000 to 5,000
Producers are holding off completion of wells in the some locations
until price recovers to $65-70/barrel

Well down-spacing means:
Continued trend toward placing wells much closer
together
Used in conjunction with pad drilling to enhance total
volume of production from each drilling pad
Operators testing out different well spacings with different
completion techniques to optimize production
Enables infilling – drilling additional wells next to wells
that have previously been drilled

Frac Sand Industry Has Been a
Rollercoaster Ride
2014 2015 and beyond??
Industry has never experienced a steady state…still a maturing industry with few
barriers to entry…supply chain continues to evolve
Highly dependent on market conditions - Oil & Gas market prices…# of rigs…fracking
technology changes
Hard to track and predict as industry volume data availability is weak and
delayed…volume obscured with other aggregates/industrial sand

Q2 volume expected to decrease by an additional 20%+
Volume recovery not likely through 2015; significant growth not likely in 2016 either
Numerous frac sand railcars in storage – started in Q4 2014 – due to improved rail performance
Railroads under pressure to reduce rail rates
Transload
More than adequate capacity available in all shale plays; decreasing pricing
Trucking
Dramatic downturn in activity has caused 25%+ price reductions; some pricing at below/cost

Current market conditions
Lots of cars in storage starting in Q4 2014
Market is very quiet except for some interest from cement
Minimal outright cancellations of car orders – very difficult contractually
Some moving out of new-build delivery schedules
New-build production schedules are full through 2016 – many new cars direct to storage
Cement consumption is expected to grow by 8%+ in 2015
Cement also utilizes small covered hoppers; small help to the market
May be build/lease opportunities for cement cars with frac sand downturn
Plastic pellet cars market growing and may allow some small hopper
car buyers to shift orders to large covered hopper cars
Major questions surround small covered hopper market after
backlog build out in 2016
Gas market growth slowed by low gas prices resulting in low gas rig count
Oil price level will be key driver on future oil rig counts and sand usage
Frac sand industry consolidation will further rationalize the car market
Industry will continue to slowly move to more unit trains – improved cycle time reduces car
volume requirement
These negative factors could cause extended difficult market conditions

Frac sand industry volume is in rapid descent…short term
volume recovery is unlikely
Overall volume likely down >30% since 2014 peak
Recovery not foreseen in 2nd half of 2015 – will volume level out?
Excessive capacity throughout each link in the supply chain
Sand and all services in supply chain remain under heavy
price pressure
20-25% price reductions are “normal” in many areas
Logistics cost are ~2/3 of the total delivered cost of sand
Heavy focus on reducing rail costs
Small covered hopper market in a state of disarray
Longer term industry still has great growth potential due to:
Further growth seen in high intensity fracking methods
Drilling/completions will eventually return with healthier oil prices
Potential for U.S. crude export legislation
Gas is also a long term growth story driven by increased electrical generation,
petrochemical industry growth and exports
