... ABSTRACT Based on the success of foam in subsurface applications it is of interest to investigate whether foam can also help overcome liquid management problems in surface flowline-riser systems. Therefore, flow experiments were carried out in the flow loop at the Shell Technology Centre...

...., decommissioned and or plugged flow lines) an increase in unpiggable flow lines is occurring. This challenge is exacerbated in aging fields where reservoir temperatures and rates have declined resulting in more of the flowline operating below the WAT. For these cases, robust surveillance approaches are needed...

... Abstract We have carried out laboratory experiments for the flow split of a gas-liquid flow from a single flowline to a dual riser. The facility used for the experiments is the air-water loop at the Shell Technology Centre in Amsterdam. The 2" diameter loop consists of a 100 m long flowline...

... is to develop the knowledge and tools to manage hydrates, as opposed to avoidance, in the production and transportation of oil and gas. 1.0 INTRODUCTION Gas hydrates play a significant role in the flow assurance of oil and gas flowlines, posing one of the most serious problems relative to the formation...

... ABSTRACT Operating information is presented on a deepwater black oil field that has two flowline-riser systems. The paper primarily concerns one of these systems in which a hydrate blockage occurred during an abnormal operating condition resulting from sea-water ingress. This system has three...
