  1. Two Phase PipelineExample Ref.: Brill & Beggs, Two Phase Flow in Pipes, 6th Edition, 1991. Chapter 3.

  2. Two Phase FlowExample 1: Description P2 d1 , L1 DZ1 P1 • For the above two-phase pipeline, calculate the exit pressure (P2) based on the Beggs and Brill equation. Compare the manual calculation results with Hysys software results (using Pipe Segment and Pipesys) . • Feed specifications: • T1 = 60 oF, P1 = 1000 psia, qgtsc= 50 MMscfd, qosc=100000 bbl/day, γgt= 0.7896, γo = 31.3 oAPI, • Pipeline specifications: • L1 = 900 ft, ΔZ1 = 10 ft, d1= 12 in nominal (Mild Steel, Schedule 40), T2 = 60 oF

  3. Two Phase FlowExample 1: Description For using compositional model (in Hysys), the following analysis of produced oil and gas at standard conditions are exist:

  4. Two Phase FlowExample 1: solution In hand calculation, a single segment with Pav= P1 was used (for first iteration). I didn’t find any reliable correlation for calculation of dissolved gas specific gravity, and therefore the specific gravity of free gas was selected from HYSYS software at input conditions: γgf= 0.6397 Calculation of Rs and γgdneeds a try and error, based on these equations: Therefore:

  5. Two Phase FlowExample 1: solution Volume flow rate of free gas at inlet conditions can be calculated with using Bg: Viscosity of oil and gas and surface tension between them can be calculated as:

  6. Two Phase FlowExample 1: solution Therefore, the two-phase no slip properties can be calculated as follows: Flow regimes: Liquid Hold and ρs:

  7. Two Phase FlowExample 1: solution Pressure gradient due to friction: Outlet pressure:
