... this theoretical effort, experimental measurements are required to verify multiphase flow models under controlled conditions and assess their range of applicability. This is why there exists a large number of multiphase flow loops around the world. However, there are numerous varieties of multiphase flow...

.... Volumetric cuttings concentration in the test section and frictional pressure losses were measured during the tests using two nuclear densitometers and a differential pressure transducer. A total of 116 experiments were conducted on a full-scale, High-Pressure High-Temperature Flow Loop (57.4-feet long...

... . Evaluating friction reducers in coiled tubing normally requires full-scale flow loop testing. A friction reducer can significantly reduce the friction pressure loss of a fluid across the tubing. The full-scale loop can produce representative data on straight or coiled tubing under various injection rates...

... As a compliment to the CSM flow loop, a Centrilift ESP test well ( Fig. 5 ) was adapted to confirm the CSM tests. The test well was equipped to simulate gas and liquid entry in the annulus above the pump as shown in Fig. 6 . The liquid and gas are injected into the system after being measured...
