All the oil and natural gas wells from underground reservoirs to the surface resemble flow
loops. Over the past couple of decades, a variety of flow loops have been established in …

An inherent problem with both oil and natural gas production is the deposition of sand
particles in pipeline, which could lead to problems such as excessive pressure drops …

The formation and agglomeration of gas hydrates represent a critical issue in flow
assurance. This research aims to evaluate the transport and impact of particles on the slug …

This paper presents a review of experimental investigations, the analytical formulations, and
numerical models of (gas-liquid),(gas-solid),(liquid-solid), and (liquid-liquid). Two groups of …

The purpose of this paper is to study the critical sand starting velocity and transformation law
of flow pattern based on gas–water–sand three-phase flow in an inclined pipe. Firstly, the …

Gas hydrate formation is a main flow assurance concern in oil and gas production.
Understanding the effects of the introduction of solid particles in the slug flow is essential to …

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 …

This study presents an experimental investigation of sand conveying from a stationary
flatbed through two‐phase liquid–gas flows as a function of the fluids flow rates and pipeline …

This paper presents an experimental investigation using Acoustic Emission (AE) technology
to monitor sand transport characteristics and identify the sand minimum transport condition …

The understanding of sand particle transport by fluids in pipelines is of importance for the
drilling of horizontal and inclined hydrocarbon production wells, topside process facilities …
