Mona Trick, P.Eng. is an
Advisor for SPT Group, a Schlumberger company. Throughout her 30year
career, she has been involved in the application of flow modelling to
the design, analysis, and optimization of systems involving multiphase
flow, including the identification and mitigation of challenges
associated with slug flow. Her principle responsibility is the on-going
development of FORGAS, SPT Group’s gas and oil field production
forecasting software. She has written and presented more than 10
technical papers for the SPE and other professional organizations. She
holds a B.Sc. degree in mechanical engineering from the University of
Calgary, is a registered professional engineer in Alberta, Canada and is
a 25 year member of the SPE.

Abstract

For the unprepared, liquid
slugs in multiphase pipelines can have disastrous consequences ranging
from increased corrosion, production impairment, and compressor damage
to flooding of separators and damage to process equipment. The key to
avoiding problems with slugging in pipelines is to determine the type
and magnitude of the slug now and into the future. In this talk, the 4
different types of slugging phenomena will be described. These include
hydrodynamic slugs, terrain-induced slugs, slugs caused by flow rate
changes and slugs formed by pigging operations. Procedures for handling
and modeling each type of slug will be outlined using both steady state
and transient modeling tools. Videos of actual slug flow in pipelines
will be shown to help give a better understanding of slug flow. The talk
will also describe the current status of mechanistic slug modeling and
areas of active research. Once the kind and size of slug is determined,
then the appropriate steps can be taken to avoid problems. |
