This paper describes development of technology with the capability to combust flare gases with a heating value up to 50% lower than existing flare-tip technology.
-
This article focuses on the use of an annular injection mixer in vaporizing heavy hydrocarbon fractions into natural gas streams and the evaluation of evaporation performance by computational fluid dynamics.
-
This paper presents a survey of air/water and air/water/sand flow through circular and triangular pipes to study potential effects of triangular pipe geometry.

Laboratory formation damage testing is often used to help select optimal drilling and completion fluids, but predicting the overall effect of formation damage on well performance requires further interpretation. Paper SPE 199268 presents a case for use of CFD to upscale laboratory data to quantify that effect.

A combination of computational-fluid-dynamics and finite-element modeling offers a potentially powerful tool for assessing and diagnosing multiphase-flow-induced vibration problems in hydrocarbon-production piping systems.

High-fidelity 3D engineering simulations are valuable in making decisions, but they can be cost-prohibitive and require significant amounts of time to execute. The integration of deep-learning neural networks with computational fluid dynamics may help accelerate the simulation process.

Reducing a separation system’s footprint while increasing separation efficiency is demonstrated in an Oklahoma field trial.
-
Because of inherent complexities, understanding the characteristics of perforations in downhole environments is a significant challenge. Perforation-flow laboratories have been used to provide insight into cleanup and productivity mechanisms around perforation tunnels.
-
Erosion caused by fine solid particles presents one of the greatest threats to oil and gas flow assurance, consequently affecting material selection and wall-thickness design.
-
This paper presents a combined experimental and numerical-modeling study on sand-screen performance. The objective is to develop an improved methodology for optimal sand-screen-aperture selection by addressing some of the limitations present in existing sand-retention tests.
