...Decision analysis in multiphase flow: uncertainty, risk and application B L Keinath ExxonMobil URC, USA 1 ABSTRACT Risk and uncertainty play an important role in design and operation of complex oil and gas production systems. They are also a driver for business decisions and can have significant...

... developed for field application. The applicability of respective technologies to identified business cases is discussed, including principle of operation, size and efficiency considerations, as well as technology readiness level. The details and layout of a newly constructed oil-water test loop to develop...

...-phase metering. A second limitation is the difficulty to extract representative flow samples because no standard or simple method for multiphase fluid sampling is yet available. In selecting the optimal MFM technology for a specific application, one must first establish the expected flow regimes from...

... this MPP, which improves the oil recovery and sweep in the subjected area. The MPP has proven its reliability to introduce a successful performance for specially selected LFWHP wells' applications. In addition, the MPP has further advantages in terms of piping modification requirements, maintenance ease...

...Application of advanced chemical process design methods to integrated production modelling M J Watson, N J Hawkes, E Luna-Ortiz FEESA Ltd, UK P F Pickering Camberley, Surrey, UK ABSTRACT The main objective was to apply advanced numerical methods, first developed for the solution of chemical...

... Multiphase pumping is around the world for about the last 20 years. There was a "careful" start, mostly with smaller pumps, obviously to minimize a commercial risk with this new technology. Power installed ranged below 300 kW, with exceptions to be found in heavy crude oil applications. However...

.... It is further aimed to be an on-line monitoring and analysis tool for flow assurance specialists. Finally, it shall become a production planning and validation tool. The Ormen Lange Flow Assurance Simulator (FAS) contains five different system applications and four execution modes, whereas two of them...

... of rubber all around the cavity. This provides unique advantages and results have exceeded expectations. The performance of a progressive cavity multiphase pump with this new equal wall stator has led to the successful application of such a multiphase pump in new areas and more demanding applications than...

... outlet. In other cases, also the presence of long gas bubbles may represent an issue, for instance when a multiphase pump is installed at an intermediate position along the pipeline. In these applications in order to damp also the larger fluctuations an efficient flow conditioner can be installed...

... fully tested and appear to be a characteristic unique to this flowmeter. On the basis of these results, a full scale MPFM was installed in Allegheny TLP, GOM, in August 2002, for production allocation and monitoring. In this application VEGA measurements have been compared with data obtained...
