multiphase flow

Flow measurement touches almost every phase of oil and gas operations. Yet the industry still struggles to distinguish between what is directly measured, what is inferred, and what is estimated through models, correlations, or assumptions. That distinction matters. A measurement does not need to be perfect to be useful, but it must be fit for purpose.

This paper describes an autonomous inflow-control technology for gas wells developed to detect and choke unwanted water production autonomously while allowing gas and condensate production.

A laboratory research study evaluates several different chemical injection concepts for the removal of elemental mercury from multiphase flow.

The objective of this study is to field test a non-nuclear multiphase flowmeter and assess its performance under challenging operating conditions.

The research facility said it plans to add multiphase-flow-testing capabilities for heavy oil and different viscosities.

Interfacial tension keeps oil and water separate by resisting the mixing of their molecules at the surface. Learn how industry experts measure this force to diagnose fluid behavior.

The authors propose a hybrid virtual flow and pressure metering algorithm that merges physics-based and machine-learning models for enhanced data collection.

This paper presents various functionalities and benefits of a monitoring tool developed for and used with all critical flowmeters in the operator’s production system.

This investigation of fluid flow and particles movement uses a coupled CFD/DEM modeling approach to provide new insights into the multiscale mechanism of sand production.

Fundamental research conducted to derive a transport model for ideal and partitioning tracers in porous media with two-phase flow that will allow fast and efficient characterization and selection of the correct tracer to be used in field applications.
