Liquid holdup is one of the most significant parameters in multiphase flow. Accurate measurement of liquid holdup is required to calculate pressure drops in oil and gas wells which is essential in analyzing the well production, performance, well…
The natural gas industry in Western Canada, has seen tremendous changes in the last decade, resulting in significantly increased horizontal well initial production rates. It is of interest to review some of the history of "allowables" and…
As an important strategic resource, petroleum has an important significance in real-time analysis and detection of its components in the petrochemical industry. With the continuous development of petroleum resources, in the production process of…
Along with the maturation of main oil exploration and production (E&P) areas in the world, the industryhas started to seek for new investment opportunities that have been considered unattractive so far. Amongsuch opportunities might be small oil…
In the process of oil exploitation, the water level of an oil well can be predicted and the position of reservoir can be estimated by measuring the water content of crude oil, with reference for the automatic production of high efficiency in the oil…
Production from highly paraffinic crude oil wells poses unique technical challenges such as poor flowability and paraffin deposition on the production tubing. Paraffin deposition increases the lift load on the pump, reduces pump efficiency, and…
