Abstract: An empirical method is presented for calculating temperature profiles in flowing oil wells. The method is applicable to wells in which two-phase flow is occurring and in which the inlet fluid ...

Abstract: Experimental data on pressure gradients were obtained for gas bubbling through static liquids in various concentric annulus configurations with eight different liquids. Although a definite liquid ...

Abstract: Slug flow was studied with air-kerosene flow in a 2-in. pipeline-riser pipe system consisting of a 100-ft pipeline and a 50-ft vertical riser. Pipeline inclinations of ± 5 deg, −2 deg, ...

Abstract: Pressure loss and water holdup data were measured for oil-water flow in 1.5-in-dia inclined pipe with inclination angles from ± 30 deg to ± 90 deg from horizontal. Pressure losses ...

Abstract: Subsurface safety valves (SSSVs) are installed in offshore oil and gas wells to shut in the wells in case of pressure loss at the wellhead. The selection of these SSSVs requires prediction ...
