s w e n d o o s e G i r sto We at OGV Energy, could not ignore the magnified sense of community spirit we have witnessed during our time in lockdown. Without a doubt, some of the most positive stories we have seen during these times are of communities around the country (and the world) helping others at any given opportunity, particularly within the Energy sector. We have pulled together some fantastic efforts made by businesses within the Aberdeen and surrounding areas to show how the Energy sector is giving back to its communities, and to the NHS.

A question regarding air lift: I have a ridgid pipe (dredge pipe) from the surface down to the bottom at approx 150 m depth. What happens if I insert the pressurised air at, let say, 25 meters depth!? Will I get an equivalent suction down at the bottom, 150 m depth, as if the pipe would have been just 25 meter down and the air insert also at 25 meters!? I have worked a lot with air lifts at shallow waters so I know the principle. People though, who claims they know, tells me it does not work, and I can’t understand why it should not work!?
