Abstract:Wet insulation systems have been used in deepwater development projects in the petroleum industry for many years, with various successes and failures being observed. This paper presents a case study: the Aspen wet-insulated flowline systemthe original design and the thermal performance in early days, and now after 8 years in production.Using production flow rates from the daily reports, with temperature and pressure data provided by the subsea and topsides online monitoring sensors, OLGA simulations were perfo… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
