Description
Los desafíos asociados al flujo multifásico son tan antiguos como la industria del petróleo. en muchos campos de crudo y gas con líneas de flujo multifásico, la inestabilidad de la producción debido a la presencia de flujo intermitente es el principal problema de aseguramiento de flujo. En Colombia, los antecedentes de investigaciones de este tipo son escasos, por consiguiente se plantea la necesidad de realizar estudios similares en nuestro territorio. existen razones para creer que diferentes campos nacionales presentan problemas de aseguramiento de flujo relacionados con el flujo intermitente. el objetivo de este artículo es realizar una recopilación teórica de los estudios principales relacionados con el flujo intermitente en operaciones de la industria de Petróleo y Gas, que permita sentar las bases para trabajos posteriores en el área, con respecto a esta temática en el ámbito nacional.
Este trabajo detalla un estado del arte sobre el flujo intermitente, sus características y una revisión exhaustiva de los métodos de simulación existentes en la literatura. adicionalmente, plantea una metodología para realizar estudios de este tipo de flujos, al igual que una discusión sobre posibles estrategias de mitigación y su aplicación en campo.
Challenges associated to multiphasic fl ow are as old as the petroleum industry itself. In many oil and gas fields with multiphasic flow lines, production instability due to severe slugging is their main flow assurance issue. In Colombia, the previous works on this matter are rather limited. There are strong reasons to presume the existence of flow assurance issues related to severe slugging in many national fields. The main purpose of this article is to perform a technical compliance of the most relevant studies related to severe slugging in the Oil and Gas industry operations, which allows to set basis for further works in this area, addressing the matter in the national context. This paper contains a state-of-the-art review on severe slugging, intermittent flow, their characteristics, and a thorough revision of the existing numerical simulation methods in literature. in addition, this document proposes a methodology for the realization of similar studies, and a discussion of mitigation strategies and their application on field operations.
