The internal mechanical motions of a dynamic system can serve as the basis for developing “free” sensors that probe operating state and potentially diagnostic health. Specifically, the interaction of a moving mechanical structure with an applied,…
Trans Mountain owns and operates approximately 1300 km of pipelines in Alberta, British Columbia and Washington state. These pipelines transport a variety of liquids including crude oils, refined products and methyl tertiary butyl ether. They…
Oil-gas-water three-phase flow is a complex time-varying nonlinear process, which widely exists in oil transportation. Oil-gas-water three-phase flow has complex interphase interface effect and relative motion. The coupling effect among three phases…
Crude oil fiscal metering is a complex metrological procedure, as the main metering means - SIKNS (crude oil quantity and quality parameters measuring systems) are affected by many interfering external factors. Among other things, paraffin deposits…
Measuring in real-time two-phase flow composition of a mixed fluid having high gas void fraction (GVF) remains a challenging task in oil-gas fields. Such fluid is abundant in gas pipelines where pressure and temperature fluctuations lead to…
This article presents the simulation and hydraulic assessment of the Sarir field - Tobruk terminal pipeline. The pipeline transports crude oil from Sarir field in the South East of the Libyan Sahara desert to the Tobruk terminal in the East of the…
