Fluid Flow Projects: Two-Phase Flow in Pipes - Continuing Education for Science and Engineering

Learn and Apply Leading University of Tulsa Fluid Flow Project Research

This short course is your opportunity to learn from leading University of Tulsa researchers and experts. The completed and current research projects covering the latest techniques for designing multiphase flow systems conducted at the Tulsa University Fluid Flow Project (TUFFP) will be explored in this course.

Multiphase flow of oil-gas-water is inevitable and presents unique challenges in operation for any production and transportation system, including horizontal wells drilled into unconventional plays. Off-shore activity for the petroleum industry emphasizes subsea completions with full wellstream flow in much longer flowlines than in other areas.

Therefore, an improved understanding of multiphase flow in wells, flowlines, and risers is of vital importance to engineers and industry professionals.

Fundamentals of two-phase flow in piping systems encountered in the production and transportation of oil and gas is the course’s focus.

What is TUFFP? The Tulsa University Fluid Flow Projects (TUFFP) is a cooperative industry-university research group currently pursuing several projects simultaneously studying the effects of size and pressure upscaling and liquid viscosity on multiphase flow behavior utilizing state of the art facilities and instrumentation. Short courses on the design of two-phase flow in piping systems for oil and gas production and transportation are among the services offered by TUFFP to member and nonmember firms. The information/research outcomes will be shared with those attending the 2019 course. Summaries of the current TUFFP projects are provided at www.tuffp.utulsa.edu.

Participant Comments:

“Essential for facilities and production engineers to understand flow in both vertical well bores and in horizontal pipelines.” (Infrastructure Facilities Engineer, WPX ENERGY)
“Great insight into multiphase flow & its application. Probably the only course in the world that has oil & gas wells too.” (Tech Advisor Drilling, SAUDI ARAMCO)
“An excellent short course on problem solving techniques to resolve your multiphase flow issues and understand the limits of the solutions.” (Sr. Process Engineer, CHEVRON)
“Highly recommend for petroleum engineers.” (Technology Researcher, YPFTECHNOLOGIA)
“I gained many useful tools and insights about multiphase flow from this course that will be beneficial to me in my job.” (Sr. Project Engineer, BAKER HUGHES, Inc.)
“This course shows the pros and cons of many different models used in two-phase flow calculations.” (Engineer I, EOG RESOURCES)
