Multiphase Flow Models Range of Applicability
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Four multiphase flow models or correlations (Duns & Ros, Hagedorn & Brown, Orkiszewski, and Beggs & Brill) are currently available in Hydra for predicting the pressure profile in a well. The range of applicability of the multiphase flow models is dependent on several factors such as, tubing size or diameter, oil gravity, gas-liquid ratio, and, two-phase flow with or without water-cut. The effect of each of these factors on estimating the pressure profile in a well is discussed separately for all the multiphase models considered. A reasonably good performance of the multiphase flow models, within the context of this document, is considered to have a relative error (between the measured and predicted values of the pressure profile) less than or equal to 20%.
