...-shaped riser. At riser top the riser is connected to both 1st and 2nd stage separators, thus reflecting a setup similar to that typically found in a real offshore flowline-riser process plant system. The model fluids used in the current work are air, Exxsol D60 and a viscous water/MEG phase. The system...

..., it was concluded that the flowrate at which loading occurs can be predicted by the overall pressure drop curve. That is the pressure drop from vessel to separator and not the tubing pressure drop curve. A numerical investigation confirms this for pressure dependent liquid injection. This stability point can...

... compression station, import/export flowlines and topside separation system. The flowline model in the FAS has been tuned against existing field data on pressure drop and liquid accumulation. At low flow rates, liquid surge wave instabilities in the flowlines occur. In the present paper, it is shown...

... facilities. Level control of separators becomes difficult with the risk of liquid carry-over into the gas train. Furthermore, the pressure surges accompanying the liquid surges hamper the gas compression facilities. These fluctuations are caused by the fluid composition, geometrical layout and operating...

... ABSTRACT Vetco has been commissioned by Total to study a subsea gas liquid separation concept, for the development of deepwater fields. The concept's feasibility depends on subsea separation performance, meaning that it depends on a full understanding of dynamic behaviour of the whole subsea...

... INTRODUCTION The flow meter presented in this paper is based on the isokinetic sampling of the gas-liquid mixture, followed by separation and metering of the individual phases. With respect to other MPFMs, the main feature of the meter is the advantage of self-calibration, [1], [2]. Moreover...
