crude transportation thru gas line

(OP)
WE ARE HAVING ONLY ONE TRUNK LINE WHICH IS PRESENTLY USED TO TRANSPORT GAS . IS IT POSSIBLE TO SEND THE WELL FLUID( TWO PHASE ) ALONG WITH THE GAS AS WE WOULD LIKE TO SAVE ADDITIONAL LINE COST. WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS? . IS SUCH A PRACTICE FOLLOWED ANYWHERE ELSE? THE EXISTING CASES  MAY BE REFERRED.

RE: crude transportation thru gas line

A pipeline is a pipeline.

The pipe itself will most likelynot be affected by the transported fluid.

Things to look out for is increased H2S or CO2 content.

With regards to your special case then i thnik that if you dont have inhouse knowledge you should try to get a consultant.

Best regards

RE: crude transportation thru gas line

I would advise that you carry out a hydraulics analysis on this to ascertain the suitability of your existing pipeline to the new use you intend to put it. According to API14E, with multiphase flow,  erosional velocity is usually an issue, so like i said, it might not be a cooky cut type of thing as you might want to look at it.
