Solid particle erosion in the oil and natural gas industry can be damaging to pipe fittings and
equipment, which can lead to maintenance or, in the worst case, a production shutdown. In …

Sand production is a critical issue during oil and gas production from sandstone reservoirs.
Uncontrolled sand production not only poses the risk of well failure, but also can cause …

The online measurement of the solid phase in sand–water two-phase flows is significant in
industrial production processes, especially for oil production in old oilfields. To improve the …

The real-time measurement of solid phase in oil–water–sand multiphase flow is significant in

Everything that relates to exploitation of metallic structures or equipment, safety of people
and environment, must be monitored. Pipelines, tanks, reactors, heat exchangers, and other …

The development of a simple, reliable and low-cost on-line particle detection method for
liquid flows has been recognized as a global challenge in the chemical engineering …

Multiphase flow is the simultaneous flow of two or several phases through a system such as
a pipe. This common phenomenon can be found in the petroleum and chemical engineering …

Sand production is becoming a growing issue for oil and gas operators around the globe.
Operators are faced to increase production of oil and gas, which may cause or worthen sand …
