... In this work we present new experimental measurements of hydrate adhesion to a novel thermoplastic composite material using a micro-mechanical force apparatus. We find that the affinity of hydrates for such surfaces is at least 80% less than for steel pipelines, and that hydrate deposits do...

... The presence of impurities in captured CO 2 leads to careful consideration during the design and development of operating philosophies of CCS transport networks. While the impact of impurities on CO 2 pipeline operation during steady-state and transient conditions is routinely investigated...

... Modeling slug length in large-diameter pipelines is crucial for the efficient design and safe operation of petroleum production systems. This study aims to develop a mechanistic model that predicts slug length distribution, including the maximum slug length and its occurrence probability...

... base. However, recent simulations of a 45-km gas-condensate pipeline in the Åsgard Field indicate a different source. The flow model used is based on data gathered in the Equinor EX-certified test laboratory in Porsgrunn (PLAB), using "real fluids" designed to imitate the properties of the Åsgard...

... Reliable prediction of spatially developing hydrodynamic slug flow is critical for various purposes, such as separator design and pipeline integrity management. Slug tracking is a state-of-the-art model for this application. Its ability to run on coarse grids results in manageable computation...

...) information over time and the separator provides semi-stabilized oil and gas flowrates to their respective network pipeline models. With all of these considerations built into the model, the system can predict the numerous pressure drops in the network to within 10 psi and provide gas/liquid/flowrate...
