In oil/water flows with very low water rates, the steady-state water fraction jumps discontinuously from a low value to a high value when the oil rate falls below the critical value. This jump is understood to be connected to the existence of multiple solutions, and generally takes place when the...

In this paper we present a detailed analysis of large scale experimental data from the SINTEF Multiphase Laboratory on high-rate low liquid loading flows. The experimental work [1] was funded by Equinor as part of the Tanzania gas field development project [2] [3] [4], and SINTEF was granted access...

A comprehensive three-phase flow campaign, funded by Equinor as part of the Tanzania gas field development project [1] [2] [3], was carried out in the SINTEF Large Scale Loop at Tiller in 2017-2018. The experiments were conducted in a 94 meter long 8" pipe, with 2.5° inclination at 60 bar nominal...

An experimental two-phase flow campaign with a viscous oil (100 cP) was conducted in the Large Scale 8" loop at the SINTEF Multiphase Flow Laboratory. The loop consisted of three main test sections, with pipe inclinations 0, 0.5 and 90 degrees, and with approximate lengths of 380 m, 380 m and 50 m...

An experimental study of vertical two-phase flow was conducted at the SINTEF Multiphase Laboratory using a 51 meter long 4" pipe at system pressures of 45 and 70 bara. This campaign was conducted as part of a project aimed at improving the physical models in LedaFlow for near-vertical pipes, and was...
