Multi-phase pipelines and pumps
Multi-phase pipelines and pumps
(OP)
Dear friend
I want to ask qusations about Multi-phase
i developed a computer programm to simulate a multi-phase
flow in inclined piplines
I used beggs and brill method for predicting
pressure loss and hold-up ?but is this method valid
for large diameters pipeline (20-40 in)(trunk lines).
I suppose that the two phase pipeline system,is along distance large diameter pipeline this line transports the oil and gas mixture (coming from a gathering sytem which
transports the fluid of many wells).At the head of this line thers is a pumping station,in this station the
mixture is pumped into the trunkline and transported to processing facilities.?
does such a scheme exist in the fields?and if not how should i consider the scheme?
I want to ask about multi-phase pump, that will be used in
pumping station?is there any book or paper which deal with this issue(like horse power calculation ...etc).
if any one can provide me with a good explanation for these issues ,and a web sits that offers a free material
regarding these issues.
Your opinions would be very appreciated
Thanks

RE: Multi-phase pipelines and pumps
One observation: If you're bringing the multiphase flowlines from each well/ manifold to a pumping station and then into a single multiphase trunkline, why not put a large separator in front of the pump, separate out a lot of the gas and then have two smaller pipelines?
For Mutliphase Pumps, try talking to Framo Engineering:

Also have a look in the SPE website (www.spe.org) -paper summaries are free, but you have to pay to see the full paper. ther's been quite a lot done recently on long multiphase tie back pipelines.
