Multi-phase-flow concerns guide TOGI system design

Plans to move raw gas condensate from the Troll field to the neighboring Oseberg complex for processing illustrate the design concerns for long-distance multiphase flow. A pipeline-monitoring system has been designed for the Troll-Oseberg gas-injection (TOGI) system in part to alert operators to hydrate formations in the system. Transport of unprocessed gas condensate well fluids have been used for in-field flowlines for several years. Recently, the technology has been extended to transportation over long distances and with more complex fluids and in cold environments. The requirement for detailed knowledge in the areas of multiphase flow and hydrate prevention has hence become increasingly more important.
