... Abstract An experimental study has been conducted in a co-current 127mm ID facility using air and silicone oil of 5cP viscosity. Results were obtained for passive lifting system, pump-assisted gas lifting and a fixed flow loop in the range of gas superficial velocities (U gs =0.01 to 1.71m/s...
