Stability Analysis of Slug Flow Control
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2016)The threat of slugging to production facilities has been known since the 1970s. This undesirable flow phenomenon continues to attract the attention of researchers and operators alike. The most common method for slug ... -
Experimental Investigation of Limonene-based Environmental-Friendly Emulsion Drilling Mud
(2017)The use of emulsion drilling mud in the oil and gas industry has gained wide acceptance. However, the disposal of drill cuttings and the waste of such emulsion drilling mud usually poses environmental concern. Hence, there ... -
Attenuating Severe Slug Flow at Large Valve Opening for Increased Oil Production Without Feedback Control Signal
(Elsevier B.V, 2016)In the co-current flow of gas-liquid mixtures through pipeline-riser system, severe slugging is frequently encountered and manifests in significant fluctuation of flow and pressure. This can pose serious threat to production ... -
Experimental Investigation of Hydrodynamic Slug Flow in Pipeline-Riser Systems
(Research India Publications, 2016)Activities in oil and gas industry have shifted deep offshore. There is therefore the need to envisage and accurately provide for flow assurance challenges that might be encountered throughout the life of a field. Slug ... -
Offshore Topside Rotating Packed Bed as Process Intensified Alternative for Natural Gas Sweetening and Dehydration
(2015)This work is aimed at investigating the benefits of replacing conventional process unit operations with process intensified ones in offshore applications. This ensures that better use is made of raw materials, lower energy ... -
Topside Pipeline Design for Slug Attenuation and Increased Oil Production
(Research India Publications, 2016)In oil and gas production system, slugging is frequently encountered when gas-liquid mixtures are transported through a common pipeline-riser system. This phenomenon usually manifests in significant fluctuation of flow and ... -
Experimental Investigation of Hydrodynamic Slug Mitigation Potential of an Intermittent Absorber
(Elsevier B.V, 2016)The need to handle hydrodynamic slugs in a more efficient way becomes important as oil and gas activities shift deep offshore. This study describes the use of a vessel coupled to the pipeline-riser system upstream of the ...
