Abstract:Hydrocarbon production accompanied by the flow of sand from reservoirs is unavoidable as many of the formations are poorly consolidated. The deposition of the produced sand at low velocities or production of sand at very high velocity can pose serious challenges to the condition of the petroleum pipeline as it can lead to pipeline capacity reduction and degradation respectively. It is therefore important to investigate the minimum transport velocity that prevents sand deposition in the pipelines. In this study… Show more
