This work performs an oil-water two-phase flow simulation in a downhole Venturi meter to investigate the flow field and pressure characteristics with different flow and oil-water ratios. The relation between the pressure drop and the feed flow rate in the flowmeter is investigated for its optimal design.

Nine existing mixture viscosity models were tested for predicting a two-phase pressure drop for oil-water flow and refrigerant (R.134a) flow. The predicted data calculated by using these mixture viscosity models were compared with experimental data. Predicted data from using one group of mixture viscosity models had a good agreement with the experimental data for oil-water two-phase flow. Another group of viscosity models was preferable for gas-liquid flow, but these models gave underestimated values with an error of about 50%. A new and more reliable mixture viscosity model was proposed for use in the prediction of pressure drop in gas-liquid two-phase flow.

Understanding the pressure drop and water holdup of crude oil-water flow in a pipe is crucial to many engineering applications. Free water in contact with the pipes wall can cause erosion or corrosion problems. An experimental research was conducted at the Malaysia Petroleum Resources Corporation Institute for Oil and Gas, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia to study the pressure drop and water holdup of the Malaysian waxy crude oil-water flowing in a closed-loop system at ambient condition through a 5.08 cm ID stainless steel horizontal pipeline. In the research work, water cuts were varied from 0 - 90% with mixture velocities ranging from 0.1 0.8 m/s. The research works comprised fluid characterization, pressure drop, and liquid holdup measurement.The investigations proved that pressure drop increased with flow rates, while the water holdup was found to have decreased slightly at higher water cuts due to the presence of emulsion in the crude oil a challenge when using a waxy crude oil in a two phase flow system. The experimental results can be used as a platform to understand better a more complex case of liquid-liquid two phase flow.
