Fix (Chris Lane song)

"Fix" is a song recorded by American country pop artist Chris Lane for his 2015 extended play of the same name. It was released to digital retailers through Big Loud Records on October 30, 2015 as the record's lead single. The song was written by Sarah Buxton, Jesse Frasure and Abe Stoklasa and produced by Joey Moi.

Background

"Fix" was written in February 2015 with the intention of co-writer Abe Soklasa recording it for his own album. However, after the song was pitched to publishers, Big Loud Records' manager-partner Seth England optioned the song for the then-newly-established label's flagship artist Chris Lane. The song was "countrified" for Lane, including lyrical changes such as the censoring of "good shit," though it retained some of the dance music and blue-eyed soul influences of the demo.

Music video

The accompanying music video was directed by TK McKamy and premiered January 6, 2016.

Fix (beer)

FIX is a brand of Greek lager beer. The FIX brewery was founded in 1864 by the Fuchs family in Athens, Greece (which had come to Greece from Bavaria with King Otto) and grew significantly when owned by Karl Fuchs (in Greek: Κάρολος Ιωάννου Φιξ, Karolos Ioannou Fix) . This became the first major brewery in Greece and made many deliviries to Mediterranean countries where beer is now very popular.

FIX (or FIX HELLAS, its most common trademark) became synonymous with beer in Greece, enjoying a virtual monopoly in the country for about 100 years until the mid-1960s, operating a number of factories that also produced soft drinks. International competition affected company sales. It lost first place in the Greek market in 1973 and continued to decline until 1983, when it went out of business.

A FIX legacy is its historic industrial buildings throughout the country. These include one of the most iconic modern structures of Athens, on Syngrou Avenue, designed by architect Takis Zenetos in 1957 (partially demolished in 1994); another historic structure, an early 20th-century FIX factory on Patission Avenue was demolished in 2002 after a battle for its preservation was lost in favor of creating a park.

Gas oil separation plant

A Gas-oil separation package (GOSP) is a "package" used in the upstream oil industry. The package is fitted the well head after the choke valve and before the production manifold, and separates the crude oil from sediments, solids and sand (below using a filter) and gases and condensates to allow the crude to be pumped on the pipeline.

Beware that water need not be separated, causing the need to add chemicals so that the crude and water emulsifies. This process is then reversed at storage by adding demulsifiers that makes the water fall out, and can be tapped from the bottom of the tank. The gas and condensate are pumped on designated pipelines for this, while the sand and sediments require special handling. A gas/oil and water separator is called a 3-stage separator.

After storage of the crude this can be sold to refineries, that then produce the fuels, chemicals and energy we consume.

Reasons for processing

Pressure

The raw crude often leaves the well head under very high pressure. Production pressures of greater than 23,000 pounds per square inch (1,600 atm) is not uncommon. The high pressure is dampened at the choke valve (or "Blow-out preventer" - BOP) that is the only equipment on the rig before the GOSP - or "3-stage Separator". Modern oil recovery may place a hydro-cyclone to replace the GOSP, allowing the water to be removed immediately and re-injected into the well. The cyclone will vary the rotation according to the water content and can also separate condensate from the gas where separate storage can be provided for the products close to the production well (e.g. on offshore platforms).
