RISFlow Assurance and Control in Petroleum Production and Transport
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The occurrence of multiphase flow is inevitable in hydrocarbon production, transportation and processing. The problems associated with multiphase flow still challenge industry and research institutions ...
An Experimental Study on Wax Removal in Pipes With Oil Flow
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Pigging is recognized as one of the most used techniques for removing wax deposits in pipelines. In an earlier paper, the mechanics of wax removal was studied using an experimental setup under ...
Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Separator Pressure Fluctuation Effect on Terrain Slugging in a Hilly Terrain Two-Phase Flow Pipeline
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Two-phase slug flow in horizontal and near horizontal pipes is a common occurrence in many engineering applications and industrial operations. The objective of this study is to experimentally ...
A Numerical Model Coupling Reservoir and Horizontal Well Flow Dynamics—Applications in Well Completions, and Production Logging
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A fully implicit, three-dimensional simulator with local grid refinement around the wellbore is developed to solve reservoir and horizontal well flow equations simultaneously, for single-phase ...
An Experimental Study on Mechanics of Wax Removal in Pipeline
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Pigging has been recognized as the most cost-effective method for preventing flow restriction by wax deposits in subsea flowlines. However, the pigging mechanics for wax removal in pipelines is ...
Sensitivity of Slug Flow Mechanistic Models on Slug Length
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Slug flow is one of the common flow patterns in gas and oil production and transportation. One of the closure relationships required by the multiphase flow mechanistic models is slug length ...
Unified Model for Gas-Liquid Pipe Flow via Slug Dynamics—Part 1: Model Development
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A unified hydrodynamic model is developed for predictions of flow pattern transitions, pressure gradient, liquid holdup and slug characteristics in gas-liquid pipe flow at all inclination angles ...
Unified Model for Gas-Liquid Pipe Flow via Slug Dynamics—Part 2: Model Validation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In Zhang et al. [1], a unified hydrodynamic model is developed for prediction of gas-liquid (co-current) pipe flow behavior based on slug dynamics. In this study, the new model is validated ...
Investigation of Transition From Annular to Intermittent Flow in Pipes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A new unified model is proposed for the transition from annular to intermittent flow patterns for the entire range of pipe inclination angles. Experimentally, it has been observed that the ...
Investigation of the Effects of Completion Geometry on Single-Phase Liquid Flow Behavior in Horizontal Wells
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The fluids in horizontal wells can exhibit complicated flow behaviors, in part due to interaction between the main flow and the influxes along the wellbore, and due to completion geometries. ...
