... with the production stream to the host fascility (e.g. an FPSO). A compact subsea unit that utilizes the cold flow method is presented and an experimental test setup at SINTEF's Multiphase Flow Laboratory is described. The unit consists of a recycle stream that seeds dry particles to a place where the bulk flow...

..., the use of carbon reduced pressure buildup by 30%-50% relative to reference measurements performed in fluids without carbon. Moreover, the particles showed no long-term relaxation while being held at 10,000 psi and 220°F for up to three months, and exhibited only a marginal loss in reversible...

.... The additive is composed of acoustic metamaterial particles that impart to the cement a frequency-dependent response, that is highly sensitive and indicative of cement contamination and mechanical stress. Traditional cement bond log tools can be used with the smart material to investigate the cement and create...

The DST uses a Response Surface Curve (RSC) for each airframe to predict the drift extent of dispersant particles and mass deposition concentration, the RSC for each airframe was derived from a database of results generated using the latest...

..., the sand production is also divided into three stages, i.e., before dissociation (transport of free particles or weakly consolidated particles), during hydrate dissociation (sand detachment due to the loss of hydrate cohesion and massive water production), and after hydrate dissociation (transport of fully...

... particles and carrier fluid. When migrating in porous media, it shows the unique motion feature of "trapping, deformation, migration", which froms Effective plugging and increases injection pressure. Meanwhile, carrier fluid is forced to enter the small pore with remaining oil, which increases oil...

.... Another type of injectivity impairment occurs when the size of the particles present in the injection water is smaller than the average pore throat diameter of the formation. These particles will invade the formation and bridge at some pores. The degree of damage is controlled by three factors: particle...

Approximately 70% is completely water soluble while the remaining 30% fractures into small particles that can be easily removed or remain in the well. This paper reviews the development of the technology, applications, mechanical...

... Abstract Magnetorheological fluids (MRF) have their rheology modified in the presence of a magnetic field. The MRF consist of a base fluid, magnetizable particles, and a viscosifier that supports these particles. The magnetizable particles align in the direction of the magnetic field, creating...
