..., however, can lead to wasted CAPEX and/or OPEX, and may not work for economically challenged/ marginal projects. To address this problem, we have built a large-scale flow loop (4" pipe ID, and 120 ft long test section) for testing wax deposition. A variety of experiments were performed changing...

... ABSTRACT An experimental two-phase flow campaign with a viscous oil (100 cP) was conducted in the Large Scale 8" loop at the SINTEF Multiphase Flow Laboratory. The loop consisted of three main test sections, with pipe inclinations 0, 0.5 and 90 degrees, and with approximate lengths of 380 m...

... the well were measured using fourteen conductivity probes located along the test section. Experimental results indicated that slug length in the vertical and lateral sections of a well present values up to four and two times, respectively, larger than typical dimensionless slug length reported...

... Abstract Pressure gradients of concurrent upward air-water flow have been measured in a 25.4mm internal diameter vertical test section over a range of superficial air and liquid velocities. Several sub-regimes of annular flow (pulse/disturbance wave, ripple wave, partial wetting, and rivulet...

... Abstract An experimental program for measuring the fraction of liquid entrained in the gas stream through a horizontal 3-inch pipe has been conducted. A customized test section was designed and fabricated for this testing, including an isokinetic sampling system designed for pressures up...
