Field Experience with a Subsea Erosion Based Sand Monitoring System

Surface erosion behavior of an intrusive probe in pipe flow

“…Moreover, sand bursts from reservoirs always lead to unstable suspended flows in pipelines (Braaten et al, 1996). Odigie et al (2012) simulated unstable sand flows using a sand injection test loop to modify the critical sand product velocity of API 14E (API 14 E, 1991).…”
