RMOTC tests Vortex Flow surface tools

摘要

Several Vortex Flow surface tools of different sizes were installed in single phase liquid gathering systems of two Tensleep Formation wells at the Rocky Mountain Oil Field Testing Center (RMOTC) at Tea Pot Dome near Casper,Wyoming.Data measurements included upstream and downstream pressure and flowrates.Flowline ice mitigation testing in gas gathering lines demonstrated reduced constrictions due to ice buildup.Additional testing of the units in high paraffin-prone wells resulted in decreased paraffin buildup in gathering lines.
