Multiphase Production Control: Application to Slug Flow

Abstract: Résumé -Contrôle en production polyphasique : application aux écoulements à bouchons -TACITE, développé à l'IFP, est un logiciel compositionnel capable de simuler le comportement des écoulements polyphasiques dans les pipelines et les puits de production avec différents équipements comme des contrôleurs, des vannes, des séparateurs, des injecteurs latéraux, des index de productivité ou des faisceaux de tubes. Cet article présente tout d'abord le système d'équations aux dérivées partielles qui est résolu dans c… Show more

“…Unstable flow regime can occur, especially when the choke is largely opened, which, unfortunately, corresponds to a point of industrial interest. This kind of instability is also observed on related systems: oil wells with a gas reservoir [28,12], risers with low-point [27,10,9]. Generally, switches of valves are reported to be at the birth of the oscillating phenomena: downhole choke plays a key role in the casing-heading in [23,12,24], while the geometric low-point acting as a valve is studied in [27].…”

“…the development of pipelines and multiphase pumps used in the chemical and petroleum industry (Falcimaigne et al, 2002;Henriot et al, 2002), the air injection in turbomachines in order to diminish the effect of cavitation near the walls (Arndt et al, 1995) or the design of drainage systems (Aimable and Zech, 2003;Minato and Nakajima, 2004). This type of two-phase flows is also encountered in environmental application as described by Benjamin (1968).…”

“…So the depletion usually leads to the nucleation and growth of bubbles within the oil, what modifies its flow properties. In the case of light oils, bubbles coalesce very quickly and a slug flow can appear out of the well (Taitel, 1986;Henriot et al, 2002). On the opposite, in the case of heavy oils, bubbles remain dispersed and flow within the oil, what gives to the produced oil the aspect of a "chocolate mousse".…”
