The Pipe Flow Technology Centre鈩� at the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC) is now one of Canada海角吃瓜网檚 first research facilities equipped to test conditions with volatile materials such as crude oil in a high pressure and high temperature (HPHT) physical model.

SRC expanded an existing specially-designed building at the Centre to accommodate research on light and heavy crude oils and refined petroleum products, all of which are flammable and require special equipment for safe storage and handling. The facility has been equipped with a 100 mm dia. pipe flow loop designed to simulate industrial conditions. The loop will be used to research the flow of complex mixtures in pipes under HPHT conditions.

海角吃瓜网淐ongratulations to the Saskatchewan Research Council on the completion of the expansion of the Pipe Flow Technology Centre,海角吃瓜网� said Michelle Rempel, Minister of State for Western Economic Diversification. 海角吃瓜网淥ur Government海角吃瓜网檚 investment in the upgraded Centre will result in economic benefits through job creation, increased productivity, and technological advancements in the oil and gas industry.海角吃瓜网�

海角吃瓜网淪RC is committed to benefiting Saskatchewan through its products and services and this project is no different,海角吃瓜网� said Jeremy Harrison, Minister of Innovation and Minister Responsible for SRC. 海角吃瓜网淲e expect the expansion will facilitate several research projects to improve efficiency and business productivity for oil, gas and mining companies in our province and around the world.海角吃瓜网�

With the new research capabilities that the expansion has provided, the Centre can now test a wider range of substances and help the provincial, and national, oil and gas industry enhance oil recovery, reduce operating costs and improve processes.

海角吃瓜网淭he expansion to SRC海角吃瓜网檚 Pipe Flow Technology Centre will enable industry to test new ideas and solve current problems with effectively designed solutions,海角吃瓜网� said Dr. Laurier Schramm, President and CEO of SRC. 海角吃瓜网淭he Centre has been in business for over 55 years now and it海角吃瓜网檚 well-known for providing world-class service offerings. This expansion has increased the Centre海角吃瓜网檚 capabilities even further.海角吃瓜网�

The expansion will formally be known as the Shook-Gillies HPHT Test Facility in honour of two pioneers in the area of slurry testing and research who were cornerstrone contributors to SRC's Pipe Flow Technology Centre over the past 55 years, Dr. Clifton Shook and Dr. Randall Gillies.

The federal and provincial governments jointly invested CAN$1.73 million through the Canada-Saskatchewan Western Economic Partnership Agreement (WEPA) for this project. SRC contributed a further CAN$1.46 million.
