Another Chemical Leak-Deer Park TX this time. Two Fatalities reported. Two people are dead and at least 35 others were affected after a chemical leak involving hydrogen sulfide occurred at a PEMEX facility in Deer Park, TX. In a statement to ABC News Thursday, PEMEX Deer Park said the gas release was reported at one of its operating units at 4:40 p.m. CDT. The City of Deer Park, TX issued a shelter-in-place at 7 pm that was lifted at 9:30 pm due to air monitoring reports that revealed no hazardous pollutants in the community. https://lnkd.in/e7M_zFCh Deer Park Mayor Jerry Mouton gave reassurance to community members that there was not a chemical leak in the surrounding area, despite the smell of hydrogen sulfide seeping out into the air. "Some members of the community may see flaring as we safely contain the situation," the facility said in the statement. "We are closely monitoring air quality and are not detecting any offsite impacts." https://lnkd.in/eKAAXNx4 2 dead, 35 others affected after chemical release at PEMEX facility in Texas (ABC News) Oct 10, 2024 https://lnkd.in/ewk58RMF Two dead, multiple injured after hydrogen sulfide release at Deer Park Pemex plant (Houston Public Media) Oct 10, 2024. https://lnkd.in/eKAAXNx4 PEMEX is the Mexican state-owned petroleum company managed and operated by the Mexican government.  The Deer Park PEMEX facility is a refinery that processes crude oil into gasoline. #PEMEX #ChemicalCloud #hydrogensulfide #DeerParkTx #Chemicalleak #Refinery

There ya have it... BLEVE (boiling liquid expanded vapor explosion) If you ever see something like this, please evacuate the area immediately! Your life may depend on it! Key points about BLEVEs: How it happens: When a container holding a pressurized liquid is exposed to extreme heat, the liquid can reach its boiling point, causing a sudden pressure increase and potential container rupture. Dangerous consequences: The rapid expansion of vapor upon release can create a large fireball and significant blast force. 8Common scenarios: This phenomenon can occur in industrial accidents involving storage tanks containing flammable liquids, like liquefied petroleum gas

When working in petroleum exploration, it's crucial to prioritize respiratory protection. Make sure to use appropriate respirators or SCBA to shield yourself from harmful gases, vapors, and particulates based on your work environment and exposure levels. #SafetyFirst #PetroleumExploration #RespiratoryProtection.

To assess the operational risks for deep-sea oil spill recovery, an assessment method has been proposed in this paper on the basis of combinatorial weighting and multi-element connection number. https://lnkd.in/grNG_VGD

Oil will reach 55 dollars in the next 5 months

Quite interesting to see how permitting impacts operations for Carbon Capture and Storage wells. A North American operator needed to obtain a Class VI injection permit for a #CCUS well. To combat a corrosive environment, Halliburton proposed a 3-sting cement solution to achieve zonal isolation. A CBL was run to further to confirm successful coverage from TD to the surface. Read the case study to learn how this operator minimized cyclic loading on the barrier >> https://lnkd.in/gfVVAQ8C

Let us not forget the P-T phase diagram of hydrocarbons. Most of the issues encountered in transportation on tankers, like wax formation, asphaltene deposition, evaporation and transportation losses, as well as oil and gas extraction from reservoirs, can be understood from such diagrams.
