Knowing or predicting the flow regime for a wet steam flowing a steam-distributing network is important to the engineering, management, and economics of steamflood EOR projects. The flow-regime data of steam in horizontal pipes were compiled and analyzed with Taitel and Dukler's model of predicting flow regimes for two-phase flow. These data were used to construct steam flow charts, to determine the effect of operating variables on the transitions of flow regimes, and to establish transition criteria for steam flow in horizontal pipes.
