The efficiency of currently available correlations for two-phase gas-condensate flows is undermined by the presence of water in these flow systems. Water radically modifies the pressure-loss mechanism. Five models have been developed for estimating the global pressure loss of such pipelines in actual operation. The results of these calculations are compared with field data which concerns different measurements relative to three lines of two-phase gas-condensate mixtures in the presence of water.
