.... In this work, a numerical investigation of an oil blob mobilized by water is conducted inside a single pore. The presented model studies the synergy effect of multiphase flow and water salinity at the pore level. To model the multiphase flow at the pore-scale, the full hydrodynamic Navier-Stokes equations...

... Abstract Multiphase flow meters are available from sometime, however, there still remain unresolved challenges. Dependable flow sensing is essential for reservoir management and production optimization. Most commercial water-cut and multiphase flow meters have limitations while measuring over...

... Abstract This work presents a joint collaboration effort between Saudi Aramco and Schlumberger for the qualification of a new generation of downhole permanent multiphase flow meter. We report the validation test of a new permanent completion tool, which is planned to be deployed in horizontal...

..., deployment, organizational and maintenance issues with an emphasis on upstream applications. The scope will include leak detection for pipelines conveying various flowing fluids – gas, liquid and multiphase flow. Pipeline environments will include subsea and onshore. Advantages, disadvantages...

... well has been considered challenging. Existing conventional metering devices and ordinary multiphase flow meters (MPFMs) are usually incapable of providing accurate measurement of flow rates in a dominating high gas volume fraction. Portable separators equipped with liquid gauge tanks are still...

... Abstract In the petroleum industry, multiphase flows are complex phenomena and can be found in a variety of situations. The three more common working fluids (oil, natural gas and water) can have four different two-phase flow permutations of the three types of fluids. Multiphase flow modeling...

.... This paper investigates the issues of combining the ultrasonic Doppler velocity measurement with the differential pressure measurement for multiphase flow metering. The intention is to measure at least one "useful" velocity of the flow, such as the bulk liquid velocity or the homogeneous mixture velocity...

... Abstract One of the most important parameters affecting flow rate in oil producing wells is the pressure drop across the surface flow-lines. The pressure drop calculation in multiphase flow is very complicated due to the empirical nature of the correlations used and the high variation in gas...

... reservoir management and uncertainty in allocation of co-mingled production. This development targets provision of highly accurate, real-time quantification of flow rates for oil, water, and gas in multiphase flow. Magnetic resonance is intrinsically sensitive to flow; however, current applications to flow...

... Abstract Multiphase flow occurs in almost all producing oil wells and nearly every flowing well has some sort of choke to regulate the flowing rate, for the following reasons: (1) to maintain sufficient back pressure to prevent sand entry, (2) to protect surface equipment from high pressure, (3...

... flow properties (relative permeability and capillary pressure) of fault rocks. This is hardly surprising as the multiphase flow properties of fault rocks are still largely unknown. Here we present measurements that show that under reservoir conditions cataclastic fault rocks may often have maximum gas...

... Abstract Accurate prediction of pressure drop in vertical multiphase flow is needed for effective design of tubing and optimum production strategies.Several correlations and mechanistic models have been developed since 1950.In addition to the limitations on the applicability of all existing...

... Abstract An automated and compact multiphase flow meter (MPFM) tested offshore Saudi Arabia has accurately measured three-phase flow rates under existing field operating flow conditions. A three-month field test was conducted utilizing over 160 well tests under varying operating conditions...

... Abstract Knowledge of liquid holdup and multiphase flow regimes in pipes is very important in pressure drop calculations and design of surface facilities. To predict the holdup, one has to define the flow regime at a given pressure, superficial gas and liquid velocities, temperature, and other...

... Abstract In recent years there has been significant increase in understanding multiphase flows in producing oil wells. This has shown that evaluation of production can be challenging when conventional production logging measurements are used. Often, only qualitative interpretations can be made...
