Iranian Researchers Indigenize Rotating Disc Device Used in Oil, Gas Wells
A knowledge-based company stationed at Sharif University of Technology's Advanced Technologies Development Incubator Center managed to manufacture the device called ‘rotating disc device’ which plays a significant role in increasing the productivity of oil and gas wells.
“All stages of designing and manufacturing and assembly of parts of the device were carried out by the technical team of this company, and it has been made for the first time in Iran,” said Amir-Hossein Rabiyee, the managing director of the company.
He noted that the device measures the reaction rate of rock and fluid at high temperature and pressure which is of great importance in studies of acid injection operations, as one of the main methods to repair damage to oil-bearing formations, adding that the device has been one of the technological needs of the oil industry in recent years which could not be imported due to sanctions against Iran.
Iranian companies have been actively manufacturing products with application in oil and gas industries.
In a recent development, industrial valves with application in oil, gas, petrochemical, steel and food industries, refineries and power plants with a class 2,500 pressure were produced and indigenized by an Iranian knowledge-based firm and installed at Isfahan refinery.
“Industrial valves were produced in a bid to develop and indigenize the product portfolio with application in the oil, gas, petrochemical, refining, food, steel and power plants industries,” Seyed Reza Hosseini Norouzi, the managing director of the knowledge-based company, told ANA.
“The standard considered for the production of this product includes API300 and its complement API598,” he added, noting that the highest pressure in these two standards is equal to 2,500 pounds.
Hosseini Norouzi described the lowest pressure of the valves as class 150 and the highest pressure as class 2,500, saying, “The target market of our company is mainly oil, gas, petrochemical, mining and steel industries as well as the power plants, the National Iranian Oil Company and its subsidiaries.”
