The gelling of waxy crudes and the deposition of wax on the inner walls of subsea crude oil
pipelines present a costly problem in the production and transportation of oil. The timely …

Water and crude oil emulsions can be produced during oilfield operations. Since most
oilfields are in the secondary or tertiary recovery stages, the amount of produced water is not …

We experimentally investigate vertical upward oil–water two-phase flow in a 20mm inner
diameter pipe. We first using vertical multiple electrode array conductance sensor measure …

In oilfield operations, co-current flow of oil–water mixture is very common and can cause
significant flow assurance problems during production. Accurate knowledge of behaviour of …

Characterizing the mechanism of drop formation at the interface of horizontal oil-water
stratified flows is a fundamental problem eliciting a great deal of attention from different …

This experimental study investigates the effect of capillary wall wettability on the
hydrodynamics of liquid–liquid two-phase flow. All experiments are performed in a capillary …

Characterizing complex patterns arising from horizontal oil-water two-phase flows is a
contemporary and challenging problem of paramount importance. We design a new …

In this paper, an experimental study about the influence of operating conditions in a
laboratory flow loop on wax deposition phenomena by using DSC technique is presented …

We detect the flow structures of a horizontal oil–water two-phase flow in a 20 mm inner-
diameter pipe using 8-channels radial mini-conductance probes. In particular, we present an …

An experimental study of the phase inversion process in an oil–water flow through a pipe
was carried out. Special attention was paid to the critical concentration of the dispersed …
