Flow Assurance And Control In Petroleum Production And Transport

摘要

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 alike. In this special issue of JERT, there are five papers covering various aspects of multiphase flow in production, transportation and processing. A brief summary of the papers is provided below.rnThe first paper is titled "An Experimental Study on Wax Removal in Pipes With Oil Flow," and addresses the pigging as a wax remediation technique. Authors have investigated the performance of various pigs using an innovative experimental approach. They have identified the breaking force and plug transport forces as the primary forces that a pig needs to overcome for a successful pigging operation.
