Handling two-phase gas condensate flow in offshore pipeline systems

Journal Article · · Oil Gas J.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6272768
Special flow problems occur in offshore pipelines transmitting gas to processing plants onshore: as the hot, freshly produced gas cools en route, the pipeline pressure falls and the heavier hydrocarbons condense. To aid drilling operators in designing condensate-separation and transport facilities, the following should be considered: (1) temperature behavior and two-phase flow in offshore lines, (2) condensate handling and slug-catcher design on booster platforms, (3) onshore separation terminal operation, and (4) the testing of industrial liquid separators.
