🏭 The Lang Factor, also known as Lang’s Method, is a rule of thumb 📏 used in the chemical industry to estimate the total installation cost 💰 of a plant based on the cost of its major chemical processing equipment. It’s a multiplier applied to the equipment cost to account for all other costs associated with building the plant, such as labor 👷, infrastructure 🌐, and overheads 📈. For iron ore pelletizing plants 🏗️ or similar industrial projects, this factor can help provide a rough estimate of the total project cost during early planning stages 🚧. The specific Lang Factor used can vary depending on whether the plant is considered solid processing 🪨, fluid processing 💧, or a mix of both. #ProjectManagement #CostEstimation #IndustrialEngineering #MiningIndustry

One major obstacle in ramping up production of copper? People (or lack of). While many may perceive copper production as tough or demanding work, though much of it is, did you know that it's not just about manual labor? Sure, they need dedicated drillers, machinists, welders, shovel operators, truck drivers, electricians and maintenance personnel but there's so much more! From accountants to IT specialists, engineers to HR professionals, scientists to planners — the opportunities are vast and diverse. Freeport McMoran has over 285 positions waiting to be filled, including 201 in Arizona alone. And that's not all! Asarco, Capstone Copper, Carlota Copper, Florence Copper, Origin Mining, Omya Inc, Resolution Copper, and South32 Hermosa also have numerous openings. Grab a friend and get to work, the world needs you!

A metallurgist, is the most misunderstood profession by Recruiters and HRs. They advertise a metallurgist position and assume that if you have no expérience in flotation, Smelting,leaching or any metallurgical field then you can't do the job. I usually palm face myself especially when someone thinks I can not work in a gold mine or any other extractive industry. It is actually équivalent to insulting the intelligence of my lectures.By the way I am an extractive metallurgist which means I went to school to learn Extraction of all metals.

#_Cementing : the process of mixing and displacing a slurry down the casing and up the annulus, behind the casing. #_Cementing process 1-Remove drill pipe and bit. 2-Run steel casing (Has Float shoe) to bottom. 3-Run Mud Circulating to remove any cuttings (Conditioning). 4-Pumping the Spacer/Flush into the casing to remove the mud from the well. (Chemical flush helps thin & disperse mud in wellbore & annulus (space between casing & formation). Spacer's job is to keep mud & slurry separated) 5-Prepare cement slurry (Mix water + dry cement + additives).There are 2 kinds of slurry: lead & tail slurry. Lead is a low density slurry for covering the upper part of the annulus. Tail slurry is a higher density slurry for covering the shoe. 6-Drop wiper plug, to remove any remaining mud in the casing. 7-Once slurry is mixed to correct density, it is pumped from cementing unit through cement head & into csng, & then displaced to annulus. 8- Another wiper plug is dropped, with mud. To remove the cement slurry inside the casing. 9-Slurry is forced out the bottom of the casing & up into annulus. When top plug reaches bottom plug it is sealed or "bumped" with bottom plug by a pressure increase. 9-The process is complete. When there is a pressure increase indicated at the surface. 10-When slurry hardens in annulus, it forms barrier between casing & formation. #_Function of cement: 1- Protecting producing formations 2- Providing support for the casing 3-Protecting the casing from corrosion 4- Sealing off troublesome zones 5- Protecting the borehole in the event of problems #_Cementingprocess #_wellservice #_slurry #_oil #_gas zone #_welldrilling bp EMEC Sonatrach Baker Hughes SLB Halliburton

History repeats itself. So do bond logs. WEBINAR - "From Sound Waves to Cement" Sign up at thoroughbond.com for the "The 3rd Step in Bond Log Interpretation" which is "Correlation". February 21st @ 9 am Houston time Free 90-min webinar with Q & A to follow Below: Correlating the CBLs for a number of wells in the field shows how alike and repetitive the cement jobs can be, and can help answer several questions including: *Why do CBLs generally show weaker bond across sands and stronger across shales? *How is the quality of the cementing operations? *What can we do to improve the cement design?

Metallurgist memoirs. The time I worked in a copper refinery plant. The routines involved a morning meeting with the maintenance team,production crew and quality team. Usually a shift report was given from the previous shift from the maintenance,safety and process crews. Maintenance will go on highlighting their shift equipment breakdowns and what the next crew need to do. They would highlight scarce spares needed to fix certain breakdowns. The production or process crew will highlight how much copper cathode they harvested according to the harvesting schedule.Why they took time to complete the harvesting because of low crane availability or delayed electrical isolation of the due cells.The quality crew will occasionally came in to highlight the cathode physical quality defects spotted. Meanwhile, me as a Plant Metallurgist will just focus on the plant KPIs. This included, Current efficiency, anode scrape generation, cathode quality, electrolyte quality,reagent consumption e.t.c. The key is to zoom in on the factors that impacted on production ,quality and safety. The meeting usually started with a safety share and safety topic of the week. Safety reported all incidents related to safety ,environment and healthy. I usually went to the meeting completely PPE compliant.

Numerous factors affect a cementing job. They all play a role and can lead to cementing problems if not considered adequately. These factors are summarized as : (1) condition of the drilling fluid (2 ) use of spacers and flushes (3 ) movement and rotation of the pipe (4) centralizing the casing, (5) the displacement rate, (6 ) slurry design , temperature and pressure conditions, (7 ) cement composition, and cement (8) slurry volume and the volume of the spacer fluid.

Last week we celebrated miners’ day. Then, we lost 1 mining engineer in an accident (again!) yesterday. Simply telling, we lost 3 mining engineers in less than a month, 2 in Siirt and 1 in Denizli, working in an underground mine among with 2 miners. All were killed by preventable accidents. Engineering is NOT maximizing profit at all costs, it’s optimizing LIFE at all comfort for people. Similarly, an engineer is NOT a shadow of false business, she/he is the body of science, technology and finance of her/his field. Just pay more to support your mine’s roof. Just pay more attention to your team’s health and safety.
