Abstract: This study investigates theoretically and experimentally the slug damper as a novel flow conditioning device, which can be used upstream of compact separation systems. In the experimental part, ...

Abstract: A novel gas-liquid cylindrical cyclone (GLCC© , ©The University of Tulsa, 1994), equipped with an annular film extractor (AFE), for wet gas applications has been developed and studied ...

Abstract: Accurate and continuous measurement of the percent water in crude oil production streams (watercut) over 0 to 100% range is critical for petroleum industry. High accuracy and stability are also ...

Abstract: A summary of all available correlations and mechanistic models for the prediction of slug liquid holdup is presented. Additionally, an experimental data base for slug liquid holdup has been ...

Abstract: Oil industry increasingly demands accurate and stable continuous measurement of the percent water in crude oil production streams (watercut) over the entire 0 to 100% range. High accuracy and ...

Abstract: First oil production from a deep-water oil field is to be achieved by the installation of an initial development system (IDS). Well testing is required for field development and reservoir ...

Abstract: The control system performance of gas liquid cylindrical cyclone (GLCC© ) separators can be considerably improved by adopting suitable control strategy and optimizing the design of the ...

Abstract: The performance of gas-liquid cylindrical cyclone (GLCC©) separators for two-phase flow metering loop can be improved by eliminating liquid overflow into the gas leg or gas blow-out through ...

Abstract: Gas-Liquid Cylindrical Cyclone (GLCC©1 ) separators are becoming increasingly popular as attractive alternatives to conventional separators as they are simple, compact, less expensive, have ...

Abstract: Current design and performance of the GLCC© 1 separator is dependent on the prediction of the upstream inlet flow conditions based on available models. It is expected that early detection ...
