Pipeline erosion damage results from solid particles entrained in produced fluids impacting
the inner surface walls costing the oil and gas industry hundreds of millions of dollars per …

Pipeline erosion in the production of oil and gas often occurs in elbows, tees, valves, pipes,
chokes and other pipe geometries that cause a rapid change in flow direction. Liquid …

Erosion of elbows in series has received more attention recently as many facilities have
elbows in series with various orientations and installations. It has been observed from …

Solid particle erosion is a potential problem in pipelines for the oil and gas processing
industries. Solid particle erosion usually occurs in pi** components or equipment when …

Solid particle erosion can be a threat to the integrity of pipelines, even at low concentrations.
Erosion correlations are widely used in industries to prevent failures. Although particle …

Elbows are important fitting components used to change the flow direction, and they are
widely used in pipeline and transport systems. In this work, an experimentally validated …

Sand particles entrained in oil and gas is a major problem for the petroleum industry. Sand
production especially increases with increased liquid production, and particles can impact …

The erosion wear of coiled tubing wound on the drum by fracturing fluid gravel greatly affects
its service life and the operation safety during hydraulic jet fracturing operation in oilfield …

This paper predicts the effects of variety parameters such as particles size, stream velocities
and elbows diameter on the erosion rate for an elbows in light crude oil-solid flow. A …

The present study aims at finding the severity of the erosional damage for sudden-
expansion geometries in a candidate oil well. A two-step approach is proposed for the …
