Download or read book Analysis Of Unsteady Flow In Complex Pipe System written by Eliseo Hammang and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-04-02 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, as oil and gas fields become less accessible and their hydrocarbon quality lower and more variable, maintaining or increasing production levels has emerged as a key field development goal. One of the most pronounced challenges in meeting this goal is managing the complex hydraulics of pipelines used in gathering systems and transporting the oil and gas from wells to processing facilities. As these pipelines get longer in new fields, deeper in offshore environments, or simply older in aging implementations, E&P companies face critical problems for which they need better performance predicting and troubleshooting tools. This book is a basic guide to deliver the bare-bones of a subject in bite-sized chunks. If you need to get a good understanding of the basics of pipeline hydraulic engineering problems as quickly as possible then this book is for you.
Download or read book Fluid Flow Analysis of Gas Flow in Oil and Gas Pipeline written by Muhammad 'Imran Zainal Abdin and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research project is focused on the fluid flow analysis of gas flow in oil and gas pipeline. Flow inside pipeline can cause vibration to the pipeline structure. The objective of this project is to analyze gas flow in oil and gas transmission pipeline by using FEA (Finite Element Analysis). In order to analyze the gas flow a rig has to be made and then do the modal analysis and operational deflection shape analysis (ODS) will be conducted. Modal analysis is done by attaching an accelerometer at different place of the rig and then knocks the rig by using impact hammer to simulate external forces. The data are analyze by using the MEscope software. The result is then compared with the result obtained from the Ansys software. After that the ODS analysis is done by conducting the experiment when there is flow inside the pipe. The modal analysis will show the result when there are external force acting on the rig and ODS analysis will show the result of the rig under operating condition. The result will show the mode shape of the rig, the natural frequencies and the damping of the rig. From the result we can see that in each of the mode shape that the rig has it will have its own natural frequency. The result of ODS will show the mode shape, natural frequency and the damping of the rig under operating condition. The data are compared with the simulation is because in real world the oil and gas pipeline are buried underground, so experiment cannot be done. By comparing these two results we can obtain the error of the result obtained from the simulation.

Download or read book Unsteady state Fluid Flow written by E.J. Hoffman and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1999-07-02 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ubiquitous examples of unsteady-state fluid flow pertain to the production or depletion of oil and gas reservoirs. After introductory information about petroleum-bearing formations and fields, reservoirs, and geologic codes, empirical methods for correlating and predicting unsteady-state behavior are presented. This is followed by a more theoretical presentation based on the classical partial differential equations for flow through porous media.Whereas these equations can be simplified for the flow of (compressible) fluids, and idealized solutions exist in terms of Fourier series for linear flow and Bessel functions for radial flow, the flow of compressible gases requires computer solutions, read approximations. An analysis of computer solutions indicates, fortuitously, that the unsteady-state behavior can be reproduced by steady-state density or pressure profiles at successive times. This will demark draw down and the transition to long-term depletion for reservoirs with closed outer boundaries.As an alternative, unsteady-state flow may be presented in terms of volume and surface integrals, and the methodology is fully developed with examples furnished. Among other things, permeability and reserves can be estimated from well flow tests.The foregoing leads to an examination of boundary conditions and degrees of freedom and raises arguments that the classical partial differential equations of mathematical physics may not be allowable representations. For so-called open petroleum reservoirs where say water-drive exists, the simplifications based on successive steady-state profiles provide a useful means of representation, which is detailed in the form of material balances.Unsteady-State Fluid Flow provides:• empirical and classical methods for correlating and predicting the unsteady-state behavior of petroleum reservoirs• analysis of unsteady-state behavior, both in terms of the classical partial differential equations, and in terms of volume and surface integrals• simplifications based on successive steady-state profiles which permit application to the depletion of both closed reservoirs and open reservoirs, and serves to distinguish drawdown, transition and long-term depletion performance.

Download or read book Gas Pipeline Hydraulics written by Shashi Menon and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is concerned with the steady state hydraulics of natural gas and other compressible fluids being transported through pipelines. Our main approach is to determine the flow rate possible and compressor station horsepower required within the limitations of pipe strength, based on the pipe materials and grade. It addresses the scenarios where one or more compressors may be required depending on the gas flow rate and if discharge cooling is needed to limit the gas temperatures. The book is the result of over 38 years of the authors' experience on pipelines in North and South America while working for major energy companies such as ARCO, El Paso Energy, etc.

Download or read book Flow Modelling and Control in Pipeline Systems written by Sina Razvarz and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-10-01 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces novel methods for leak and blockage detection in pipelines. The leak happens as a result of ageing pipelines or extreme pressure forced by operational error or valve rapid variation. Many factors influence blockage formation in pipes like wax deposition that leads to the formation and eventual growth of solid layers and deposition of suspended solid particles in the fluids. In this book, initially, different categories of leak detection are overviewed. Afterwards, the observability and controllability of pipeline systems are analysed. Control variables can be usually presented by pressure and flow rates at the start and end points of the pipe. Different cases are considered based on the selection of control variables to model the system. Several theorems are presented to test the observability and controllability of the system. In this book, the leakage flow in the pipelines is studied numerically to find the relationship between leakage flow and pressure difference. Removing leakage completely is almost impossible; hence, the development of a formal systematic leakage control policy is the most reliable approach to reducing leakage rates.
