... for its prediction. This study focuses on the evaluation of select entrainment fraction prediction models. Experimental data on liquid entrainment with hydrocarbon fluids in a 3-inch horizontal pipe at 8,375 kPa are presented and compared with predicted values. Two model improvements are proposed...

... effects, and the choice of aging/internal diffusion parameter. Traditional approach has been to use a model to tune to small scale flow loop data, and use that model to predict deposition rates in the field – with the understanding that the field predictions will usually be conservative. This approach...

... As the flow rate in gas wells decreases, the liquid content of the well increases (wellbore load up). This can eventually cause the well to die. For many years, people have used the Turner correlation to predict the minimum rate the well can produce without loading. The Turner correlation...

... with the commercial multiphase simulator LedaFlow [1] did not reproduce this at the time, and the penalty for this discrepancy was that the predicted pressure drop was too high. Consequently, it was concluded that the physical models in LedaFlow needed improvement to predict these conditions better. Through detailed...
