... 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...

... Abstract Foam assisted lift is a deliquification method in the oil and gas industry, which aims to prevent or postpone countercurrent gas-liquid flow in maturing gas wells or to assist in removing downhole accumulated liquids. The creation of foam reduces the density of the liquid that needs...

... production losses due to problematic multiphase flows resulting in excessive liquid carry over and gas carry under from subsea separation equipment, likely due to unresolved foam. The state-of-the-art for handling such foam issues has been the use of defoamers. While this may work in some cases, often times...
